Overview
The Wisdom Panel Essential kit is a cheek-swab DNA test for dogs that screens breed mix against a database of over 430 breeds, checks 30 genetic health markers, and reports on 50+ traits plus relative matches.
The box itself is a sample-collection kit, the value is in the lab analysis, owners swab the dog's cheek, mail the sample in, and get results through an online account rather than instantly.
