Do people really spend their money on dog DNA testing?

I've been seeing these Embark commercials for DNA testing for dogs. They talk about possibly treating your dog for certain ailments they "could" have. Are people really this gullible?
Do people really care about their dog's lineage?
Anyone every do this, and is it really worth it?

People spend their money on all kinds of dumb shite.

People who do this have bumper stickers on their car with puns about their pit bull

Do people really spend their money at slot machines? Do people really spend their money on cigarettes?

100% and as far as dog DNA testing that is no where near the most ridiculous thing that dog people will drop some cash on for their pet.

Wouldn’t the obvious market be the dog show people?

Sounds like someone isn’t married

Usually those people have a long known lineage of their pedigree.
My labs were all AKC registered and I had a list of their lineage going back 4 generations.

Do people really spend $15 to eat something they could make more of for $15?

I am married, and my wife wouldn't waste our money on that shite either.

I found a dog who has medical (seizure) problems so I did the DNA panel. It's actually quite awesome for the lineage of my mutt.
Plus it was only about 70 bucks so I'm sorry you're poor

Do people really post about others spending their money however they choose?

We paid like $80 for one on Amazon. Pretty cool if you're into genetics. Showed us all sorts of traits he inherited from different breeds (eye color, ear length, hair length, etc.)
Also randomly found some relatives of his
Trust me, I've spent $80 on a lot dumber shite than this.

Yes, I own, train and compete Labrador Retrievers. Genetic testing is done for many reasons including confirming breed purity and checking for many genetic health abnormalities.

Just FYI, breeders lie on those things all the fricking time.
ETA:
We have a buddy that did one for his hunting lab. It had some other breeds in there and he paid a shite load of money for it. Ended up raising hell with the breeder just to protect other customers, but never got any sort of refund (this was 4-5 years after getting the dog). Dog is great though.

People like to find out what their mutt is made of. It’s not that expensive and not a big deal

Given what I’ve seen from people and their dogs, we are not far off from dog dildos and dog sex bots.

This. We lucked into an amazing mutt. Easily the best dog I've ever had. I wanted to know what all she was so when/if I'm in the market for another dog, I'll know what to look for. Border Collie and Dachshund mix.

The apartment complex in Asheville where I lived a few years ago required DNA testing for dogs. If management finds poop on the grass, they match the DNA of the poop with their dog DNA database and fine the pet owner.

I could see DNA testing for a breeder of expensive dogs. If I'm paying 2k for a dog, I'd like to be sure I'm not getting some inbred animal or just an animal that has a long line of shite genetics.
Now would I do it for my house dog that does nothing but lay down. No.
