More Ways to Save Money at Embark

Embark's got a whole bunch of clever ways to save on their dog DNA tests that go way beyond basic discounts. Whether you're testing one pup or a whole pack, there are smart tricks to stretch your budget while getting the genetic insights that actually matter. From bundle deals that make multi-test purchases way more affordable to referral programs that reward your dog-loving network, here's how to make premium pet genetics work for your wallet.

How to Apply Your Embark Discount at Checkout

Getting your Embark savings applied is super straightforward, but timing matters for maximum value. Here's exactly how to make sure your discount sticks:

1. Add your chosen DNA test kit to your cart — whether it's the Breed + Health test or a bundle package
2. Review your cart and click "Proceed to Checkout" to start the payment process
3. Enter your discount in the designated field before entering payment information
4. Double-check the discount applied — you should see the price reduction reflected in your order total
5. Complete your purchase with confidence knowing your savings are locked in

Pro tip: If you're using multiple eGift Cards, you can stack them during checkout since Embark allows multiple gift card redemptions on a single order. Just remember that discounts can't be used to purchase gift cards themselves, so plan your savings strategy accordingly.

Save Big with Bundle + Save Packages

Embark's bundle pricing makes testing multiple aspects of your dog's health way more affordable than buying individual tests. The math works in your favor when you combine their most popular DNA tests into value packages.

Starting with the Breed + Health Test

The Breed + Health DNA test anchors most bundles at its current sale price of $110 (down from $199). When you add the Age test for an additional cost, you're getting both breed identification and calendar age estimation for less than buying separately. The Age test alone normally runs $159 but drops to $109 in current promotions.

Adding Gut Health Insights

For dogs with digestive sensitivities, pairing the Breed + Health test with the Gut Health test creates a comprehensive health profile. The Gut Health test is currently $125 (reduced from $135), and bundling often provides additional savings beyond these individual discounts.

Multi-Dog Household Savings

Multi-dog households see even better value. Embark offers bulk pricing for breeders with up to $30 off each kit, and regular customers can save by purchasing multiple test kits together rather than ordering separately over time.

Earn $10 Through Referral Rewards

Embark's referral program creates a win-win situation that literally pays you to share your experience. When you refer a friend to try the Breed + Health DNA test, both parties benefit financially.

Your referred friend receives $10 off their first kit, making the already-discounted Breed + Health test even more affordable. Meanwhile, you earn a $10 Embark coupon delivered via email once their purchase completes. This coupon works on future orders at embarkvet.com, whether you're buying supplements, additional test kits, or trying their newer offerings.

The requirements are pretty straightforward: your friend must be a first-time Embark customer purchasing a Breed + Health DNA kit (Mixed or Purebred version) priced at $139 or more. Since the current sale price is $110, they'd need to purchase at regular pricing or add other items to meet the threshold.

One important timing note: your referral reward expires 90 days from the date it's issued, so don't let it sit in your inbox too long. Embark also reserves the right to review rewards for suspected program abuse, keeping the system fair for genuine referrals.

Free Shipping Saves You That Extra Fee

Every Embark order ships free within the continental United States, which saves you from that annoying extra $10-15 fee that can pop up at checkout. This applies to all their products — DNA test kits, supplements, and gift cards.

The free shipping extends beyond just getting your kit delivered. Each test kit includes a prepaid return shipping label for sending your dog's saliva sample back to their lab. You're not paying extra for the return journey, which some competitors charge for separately.

For international customers, shipping policies may vary, so it's worth checking your specific location's terms before ordering. But for US customers, the free shipping effectively increases the value of every purchase by eliminating surprise costs at checkout.

Gift Cards Offer Flexible Value

Embark's eGift Cards provide a smart way to budget for future purchases or give the gift of genetic insights without choosing specific tests. Available in $50, $100, $150, and $200 denominations, these digital cards offer several advantages over direct purchases.

Unlike many gift card programs, Embark's eGift Cards have no expiration dates or hidden fees. You can purchase them during sales periods and use them later when you're ready to test, or hold them for new product launches. The cards work toward any purchase on embarkvet.com, including test kits and supplements.

The stacking capability sets these apart — you can use multiple eGift Cards on a single purchase, making them useful for larger orders or expensive bundle packages. However, you can't use discounts when purchasing the gift cards themselves, so plan accordingly if you're trying to maximize savings.

Supplement Subscriptions and Guarantees

Beyond DNA testing, Embark's supplement line offers ongoing savings through subscription pricing and risk-free trial periods. Their 30-day money-back guarantee on supplements takes away the financial risk of trying new products for your dog's specific health needs.

Subscription deliveries provide regular pricing discounts compared to one-time purchases, plus the convenience of automatic delivery. This works particularly well for ongoing supplements like joint support or daily vitamins that your dog needs consistently.

The guarantee terms are straightforward: if you're not satisfied with supplement results within 30 days, you can return them for a full refund. This policy doesn't extend to DNA test kits, which have their own 60-day return window for unused kits in good condition.

Special Programs for Adopters and Professionals

Shelter Adopter Discounts

Embark's Shelter Partner Program provides reduced-cost DNA tests for dog adopters, partnering with over 700 shelters nationwide. If you're adopting from a participating shelter, ask about Embark testing discounts — it's a way to get genetic insights on your new family member at a lower cost.

Professional and Affiliate Opportunities

Veterinary practices can access discounted rates on Embark products, which sometimes translates to savings for pet owners when vets order tests directly. If your vet recommends genetic testing, it's worth asking if they have professional pricing that could beat direct consumer rates.

The affiliate program offers up to 10% commission for content creators and influencers who drive sales through unique links. While this benefits the affiliate more than the customer, it sometimes results in exclusive discount opportunities shared by pet influencers on social media — that's $89 saved that could buy a seriously premium bag of treats!
