Wisdom Panel™ Essential decodes your dog's DNA so you can provide better care.
Get the most accurate breakdown of your dog's breeds.
Looks can be deceiving. Even trained experts get breed identification wrong about 75% of the time when judging by visual cues alone. That's why we go beyond appearances and screen for the genetic markers of 350+ breeds.
How? We've built the world's biggest breed reference database and most advanced dog breed detection system-which is over 98% accurate.* Together, these allow us to report your pup's breed mix down to 1% so you can tailor care to their unique personality.
Meet your pup's extended family.
To accurately detect your dog's ancestry, you need three things: a large breed database, a sophisticated algorithm, and a significant number of markers strategically placed across the genome.
We've got all three, which allows us to map your dog's ancestry back three generations-all the way to their great-grandparents.
Identify medical complications early.
Due to genetic mutations, common medications and procedures are highly dangerous for some dogs. With 25+ medical complications tests, Wisdom Panel™ Essential helps identify conditions that could cause serious problems during routine procedures, such as spaying or neutering.
Because there's nothing like having peace of mind about your pup's health and safety.
Understand your dog's appearance.
You know what your dog looks like. But do you know why they look that way? Demystify their physical features with more than 35 trait tests.
Your dog's test results will reveal the genetic factors that give them their distinguishing qualities and one-of-a-kind characteristics-from what makes their fur so silky (or shaggy) to how well they do at high elevation.
Predict adult size and ideal weight.
When it comes to body size, "healthy" looks different for every dog-even among those of the same breed. But planning for nutrition, providing enough exercise, and even picking a big enough dog bed doesn't have to be a guessing game. After all, your pup's DNA holds clues to their ideal adult weight range.
Get ahead of health risks.
With 210+ tests for adult-onset vision disorders, notable eating behaviors, mobility problems, and many other health conditions, Wisdom Panel™ Premium
Discuss results with an expert.

Detect conditions your dog could pass on.
Even if your pup is clear of health conditions themselves, they may be carriers. If you are considering breeding your dog, find out if they have genetic risks that could affect the health of their future puppies
