Checked in a real cart at Embark: the store accepted the code and took the discount off.
Embark sells dog DNA tests, from Breed ID and Breed + Health kits to purebred and breeder versions, along with a dog age test, a gut health test and supplements for allergy, joint and gut health.
The Breed + Health test lists at $139, and a friend's referral takes $10 off a first kit.
Embark says it was started by scientists focused on canine health, and it describes its database as the largest collection of dog genetic data. Its tests report on 400+ breeds, 55 physical traits and more than 270 health conditions, and add a Relative Finder that matches dogs with genetic relatives. The company works with ISO- and CLIA-certified genomic labs and academic partners.
Beyond pet owners, Embark works with breeders, who get a Litter Package, genetic COI tools and help submitting results to OFA, as well as with veterinarians and shelters. Its research team reports building a genetic risk tool for mast cell tumors, creating allergy risk scores and finding a variant tied to early-onset deafness in Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Two-packs suit homes with several dogs, and eGift cards start at $50.

Embark's store is built on Shopify, so a code goes in the discount box on the checkout page's order summary.
Two limits apply there.
A promo code can't be used to buy a gift card, and referral discounts can't be combined with other offers, so a friend's $10 off stands alone on that kit.
Supplements follow their own route: choosing subscribe and save on the first supplements order is what brings the 50% off.

If your Embark code doesn't work
Combining offers: Referral discounts can't be combined with other offers; a promo code can't be used to buy a gift card.
End date: "Up to 15% Off Your Purchase" ends Nov 17, 2026.
The referral program gives a friend $10 off a first Breed + Health kit and sends you a $10 coupon once they buy. eGift cards start at $50, have no expiration date or fees, and several can be used on one order, though only on embarkvet.com.
Comparing the $109 age test with the $139 Breed + Health kit also helps you avoid paying for answers you don't need.
