What Supplements and Additional Products Does Embark Vet Offer?
Updated
Embark Vet is best known for its dog DNA tests, but the site also sells a range of supplements and add-on tests that target specific health concerns. The supplement lineup covers four areas: seasonal allergies, joint and mobility support, and two tiers of gut health. There is also a standalone Gut Health Test that produces diet and lifestyle recommendations rather than a breed report. Most supplements are priced in the $30–$120 range, and several are sold as bundles with DNA tests.
Supplements for allergies and joints
Two single-ingredient supplements sit at the low end of the price range:
- Embark Allergy — $29.99. Described as an all-natural supplement for soothing seasonal itching.
- Embark Joint — $29.99. Marketed to support mobility, flexibility, and healthy cartilage.
These two are also sold together as the Allergy & Joint Supplement Bundle at $53.98 (regular price $59.98), a small saving over buying each separately. If your dog's main issue is itching during allergy season, or stiffness and mobility, these are the entry-point products.
Gut health: a test plus three supplement options
Embark treats gut health as both a diagnostic and a supplement category.
Gut Health Test — $129 (regular price $135). The site describes it as producing personalized recommendations for diet, supplement, or lifestyle changes. This is the only product in this group that requires a sample rather than being a consumable.
Gut Restore Supplement for Dogs — from $119. Positioned for restoring gut health and relieving digestive, skin, and immune health issues.
Gut Maintenance Plus Supplement — $41 (regular price $45). Aimed at short-term, occasional, or mild diarrhea.
S. Boulardii + FOS Powder — $80 (regular price $89). Described as improving stool consistency, reducing diarrhea, and promoting healthy skin.
The distinction matters: Gut Restore is the higher-priced, broader intervention, while Gut Maintenance Plus and the S. Boulardii powder are positioned for milder or more specific digestive problems. If you are unsure which applies, the Gut Health Test is the product designed to point you toward a recommendation.
How supplements relate to DNA test results
The supplements are sold alongside the DNA tests rather than as replacements for them. The Breed + Health test screens for 270+ health conditions and allergy risk across four categories, and the site frames the overall product line as combining breed, ancestry, health, and behavior information from a single cheek swab. In practice, a health or allergy-risk result can tell you which concern is worth addressing, and the supplement is the product that addresses it. The Gut Health Test works the same way for digestive issues — it generates the recommendation, and the gut supplements are the products that follow from it.
Bundles that combine tests
If you want more than one test, Embark sells bundles that reduce the per-test cost:
| Bundle | Regular price | Sale price |
|---|---|---|
| Breed + Health and Age Test Bundle | $268 | $239 |
| Breed ID and Age Test Bundle | $228 | $215 |
| Breed + Health Test 2-Pack | $318 | $275 |
| Purebred Test 2-Pack | $318 | $275 |
The Breed + Health and Age Test Bundle is described on the site as the best choice for rescue dogs, since it combines ancestry, health screening, and an estimated age. The 2-packs are aimed at households with multiple dogs.
Choosing between them
- Itching or seasonal allergies → Embark Allergy, or the Allergy & Joint Bundle if mobility is also a concern.
- Stiffness or joint support → Embark Joint.
- Ongoing or complex digestive issues → Gut Health Test first, then Gut Restore based on the recommendation.
- Mild or occasional diarrhea → Gut Maintenance Plus or S. Boulardii + FOS Powder.
- No specific concern yet → Start with a DNA test; the health and allergy-risk screening tells you where to focus.
One caveat worth noting: the site lists these as supplements with described purposes, not as treatments, and the product pages do not state veterinary approval for any specific condition. For a dog with persistent or severe symptoms, the test-and-supplement path is a starting point rather than a substitute for a vet visit.
