Hello! I’m ordering an Embark DNA and health kit. I’m super excited to find out the breed of my dog and his health, but I was wondering if it would also show his estimated age as well?

Depends on the breed but generally that’s average for a purebred ,the average chihuahua is 8% (lowest I’ve seen)& the average collie is 40% (highest I’ve seen)
