help Wisdom Panel Optimal Selection FAQ
How many genes does the Wisdom Panel Optimal Selection analyze?
The Wisdom Panel Optimal Selection analyzes over 180 genes in your dog's DNA, covering breed ancestry, physical traits, and genetic health conditions. This is more comprehensive than basic breed-identification tests, which focus primarily on ancestry markers rather than health screening.
What specific health conditions does Wisdom Panel Optimal Selection test for?
The Optimal Selection screens for genetic mutations associated with conditions such as MDR1 drug sensitivity, exercise-induced collapse, and degenerative myelopathy, among others. Results categorize your dog as clear, a carrier, or at-risk for each tested condition, which you can share with your veterinarian for care planning.
How long does it take to get Wisdom Panel Optimal Selection results back?
After Wisdom Panel receives your dog's cheek swab sample, results are typically available online within approximately 2 to 3 weeks. You will receive an email notification when your dog's breed breakdown, trait analysis, and health screening are ready to view through their online portal.
Is Wisdom Panel owned by the same company as Embark dog DNA tests?
No, Wisdom Panel is developed by Wisdom Health, a division of Mars Petcare, while Embark Veterinary is a separate company partnered with Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Both offer canine DNA testing, but Wisdom Panel has been on the market longer and is frequently available through veterinary clinics.
