Wisdom Health Dog DNA Test Essential, 430+ Breeds, 30 Health Tests

Wisdom Panel Essential Dog DNA Test is a dog DNA screening test designed to reveal breed ancestry, genetic health insights, traits, and potential relatives, with screening for 430+ breeds and 30 health tests.

• 430+ breeds, with breed reporting down to 1% — understand the breed mix behind your dog.
• 30 genetic health tests, including MDR1 and IVDD — get insights to discuss with your vet.
• 51 traits and 3 behavioral tendencies — learn more about your dog’s appearance and individual quirks.
• Relative matching through a database of 5 million dogs — explore potential connections with other tested dogs.
• Quick, painless swabbing — collect a sample through a simple swab process.

When a dog’s background is unknown or only partly known, breed, health, and trait information can offer useful context for understanding them. This test brings those kinds of insights together, with relative matching as another way to explore a dog’s DNA results. The information is intended to help owners understand their dog and, for health findings, create a personalized care plan with their veterinarian.

What can the breed and trait results tell me?

The test screens for more than 430 breeds and can report breed composition down to 1%. It also screens for 51 traits, connecting a dog’s individual appearance with genetic information, and offers insights into 3 behavioral tendencies. Together, these results give owners several ways to learn more about what makes their dog distinctive.

• Trait insights help explain how a dog’s one-of-a-kind appearance came to be.
• Behavioral insights focus on individual quirks rather than breed identification alone.

What health information does Wisdom Panel Essential provide?

Wisdom Panel Essential screens for 30 genetic health tests, including MDR1 and IVDD. These are screening insights about genetic health risks; they can help you prepare questions and build a personalized care plan with your veterinarian. The results are intended to inform care planning, not to replace veterinary guidance.

• The health screening is one component of the broader breed, trait, and relative-matching test.
• Use the health insights as a starting point for a conversation with your vet about your dog’s care.

Can my dog’s results connect me with relatives?

Yes. Wisdom Panel reports that 99.9% of dogs tested have a relative match, using its breed database, which includes results from more than 5 million dogs. When a match is available, you can view photos, compare DNA results, and send messages. Dogs have been tested in more than 60 countries, making relative discovery part of a widely used dog DNA service.

• Matching features let you compare results and explore possible genetic connections.
• Wisdom Panel describes its swabbing process as quick and painless, with fast and accurate results.

Wisdom Panel Essential suits dog owners who want breed composition, genetic health screening, trait and behavior insights, and the possibility of finding relatives in one DNA test.
