Dogs and Blogs: Comparison of Wisdom Panel and Embark

I did wisdom panel on Piper in February of 2016. The wisdom panel was the 2.5 variety which tested for over 200 breeds and MDR1 or Over 150 health conditions (depending on which product you choose) . The wisdom panel was reran in January of 2019.
Embark was done on Piper in November of 2018, and I did embark on Murray in January 2019 even though I knew his Breed and he’s AKC registered as well I was curious about his health results. Embark test for 250+ breeds and over 165 health conditions (if you choose this option).

Wisdom panel is $85 for the breed only kit and $150 for the 150+ health conditions added on. You can add the health to the regular kit for a fee of $55.
Embark is $200 and that includes health and breed (also cool stuff such as relatives and your dogs haplotypes) Embark also has breed only for $130 which you can add the health later for $100
