You’ve probably gotten to really know your pet over these past few months spending more time at home. But you might still be curious about the source of their behaviors and routines, like why they get sudden bursts of energy or only respond to certain toys.
You might find the answers by using a dog DNA testing kit.
Dog DNA test kits like Embark and Wisdom Panel — two of the most popular ones, and the two that we’ve previously tested at HuffPost Finds — use a small saliva sample from your four-legged friend to provide you with information about their breed, health and more. The information you get back might help you better understand and train your four-legged friend.
These kits can also make a great gift for the dog lover in your life, especially since there are plenty of 2020 Prime Day deals on these popular dog DNA test kits.
