Wisdom Panel Essential

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five‑Star Review Title: Fascinating, accurate insights into my pup’s DNA — worth every penny! Review: I recently tested my rescue dog with the Wisdom Panel Essential Dog DNA Kit, and I’m thrilled with the results. The at-home cheek-swab collection was easy (they include two swabs), and the kit comes with clear instructions and free USPS return shipping  . Within just three weeks I received a detailed report. What I loved: • Breed breakdown down to 1%—the kit screens for over 365 breeds, which helped clarify some unexpected traits in my dog  . • Health screening—tested for 25+ genetic conditions including MDR1 and IVDD, giving me actionable info to discuss with my vet . • Traits & behavior insights—learned why my dog has that blue eye and a knack for digging . • Relative finder—I discovered several long-lost fur-family cousins through their vast 4+ million pet database . • Online dashboard & vet consult—the portal is intuitive, results arrived fast, and you get a free phone call with a veterinarian if any health flags appear . Accuracy & credibility: Independent reviews rate Wisdom Panel at ~90%+ accuracy for crosses and 98%+ for purebreds . DNA Weekly even named the Essential kit “best overall” in its 2025 roundup . “The results were comprehensive, and it was a good value for its price point.”  A few things to keep in mind: • Like any DNA test, multi-generation mixes and very low-percentage breeds may show lower confidence results . • It doesn’t include maternal/paternal line mapping or expansive health screens — for those, consider the Premium option or Embark’s more detailed kits . ⸻ Bottom line: If you want a clear, engaging, and reliable look at your dog’s ancestry, health markers, traits, and even relatives—all at a great price—the Wisdom Panel Essential Kit is exceptional. Highly recommend!

God delivered a dog to my mother. It showed up on a cold rainy day, hiding under my car, while my 2 dogs were growling at something, I looked and seen it. It was skinny, dirty and looked close to death. I put my dogs in kennels and slowly got the dog out from under the car using water and food. I got it inside and it ran under my bed. The next day, my mom came over and the dog ran out to her, and has never left. She was curious to what type of dog he is, so I bought the dog DNA kit. It was easy to use, easy instructions and the results were quick. It even gave the dogs age, the type and so much more information. We guessed close, haha. It’s a great product at a great price and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do a doggie DNA test.

We got this for our staffy rescue. We got him at (maybe?) a year old from the local animal shelter. The results were pretty quick and test was easy. Sure enough, results came back 65% staffy, 35% pitbull terrier and 2% boxer. It was cool to see his relatives (and we do get an email when new relatives are identified - although, there's no way to sort the results, so you don't know which ones are the "new" relatives). There's even a way to contact (anonymously) other relatives to share your dog pics, etc. I got in touch with two relatives and they provided pics of their dogs which were cousins to mine. It's kind of fun to see! That being said, it's not cheap. I bought it for about $60 on a special and now it's twice that. We do have another rescue that we'd love to get a kit for, but the cost of the kits now is a little prohibiting. I do like that they also provide optional behavior research studies you can do to tell them more about your pet -- like, does he burrow in blankets (absolutely!), does he dislike the rain (YEP!), etc. It helps them with research and building pet profiles (and what the dog breed is about, in general). Pretty in-depth. They did have a study you could join for additional rewards but the link didn't work for me. All in all, glad I got it - and glad I got it at the price that I paid! If you're interested in what your dog's DNA is all about, I'd recommend this. I also purchased the basic kit -- it provided plenty of information. I didn't have any of the add-on's that they offer.

This is the second time I use this product. Their reports are very use full. They did report finding siblings which tells you they are legit. The kit is easy to use. The turnaround was acceptable.

Easy to use with clear instructions, didn’t take long for the results. However, I do not think the results are accurate at all. My dog is a rescue, and we know for a fact that she was born to a Dashound mom at a shelter, she was the only one in the litter born white and that did not look like the other littermates (weiner dogs). Her DNA came back with zero Dashound DNA??? she is also quite clearly a corgi mix, I will be doing the blood work via the vet to check her actual DNA as this seems like a waste of money.

The results were extremely accurate and impressively detailed. The breed breakdown aligned perfectly with what we suspected—and even confirmed some traits we’d noticed but couldn’t fully explain. Beyond breed composition, the report went deep into genetic traits, physical characteristics, behavioral tendencies, and health-related insights. Everything was presented in a clear, easy-to-understand format without feeling overwhelming. What really stood out was the level of detail and personalization. The insights felt tailored to my dog, not generic, and helped me better understand her needs, personality, and potential health considerations. It gave me valuable information to share with our veterinarian and helped me feel more confident as a pet parent. Overall, this DNA kit exceeded expectations. If you’re curious about your dog’s background and want accurate, thorough, and meaningful results, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended! 🐾

The instructions are very clear and the process is simple. Just swab, mail in the samples, and wait. Our response time was actually a little better than their estimate. The report you receive is very informative and clear. We opted not to pay for the additional health information, but it's a nice option to have. We have used this test now on three dogs and are very pleased with Wisdom.

We got the results in 9 days. The results were spot on. Even accurately showed that our dog's coloring would likely be piebald, merle, and had a genetic marker for black mask on his face. They also listed 17 relatives with one being a close relative, and the other's more distant. The nicest feature was the testing for 254 genetic diseases/issues and was very relived to find my dog had zero markers for these. The test gives predictability on temperment which I mostly ignored. Some people might find it helpful but the most recent research has shown that environment and training is a much better predictor of behavioral issues versus breed. That is if taken in account that the dog has it's energy requirements both physical and mental for the breed or breeds in your dog. All in all, I'm glad I chose Wisdom panel again for my newest dog.
