I’m concerned the ground my dog plays in and eats could have toxic heavy metals.
Dogs dig, chew and groom, and they bring the yard inside on their feet. One sample, ten heavy metals including lead, arsenic and mercury, in plain language. $149.
For the person whose dog treats the yard like a job.

Two things show up in the mail.
Shovel, gloves, sterile pouches, prepaid mailer. Dig, seal, drop it in your own mailbox.
Your scoop, element by element, in plain English. Posts to your account days after your sample lands.
A dog’s whole day happens at ground level.
Nose down, paws in, lying in the one worn patch, and then straight back through the door onto the couch. Whatever is in the top few inches of that yard is what's in his day.
“He’s out there all day, and I’ve never once known what’s in it.”
A digger
Some dogs have a project going in the same corner for years. That corner is the sample.
More dirt than grass
The worn strip along the fence, the path to the gate, the bare spot by the door. Bare ground beats lawn for a sample.
He goes out, comes in, gets on the couch
Dogs carry the yard inside on their feet, which is how a yard becomes a whole-house question.
A yard you just moved to
You know the dog. You don't know the ground yet.
Dig. Mail. Find out.

The yard is the one room in the house nobody’s ever looked at.
“I’ve never had a reason to worry. I’ve also never had a way to check.”
Whatever is in a yard has almost nothing to do with how well kept it is—it depends on what was there before the house. Lead paint until 1978,1 leaded gas until 1996,2 arsenic in deck lumber until 2003,3 and none of it breaks down.4 If yours comes back ordinary, that is a perfectly good thing to find out in ten minutes.
Heavy metals—ten of them, including lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium
The standard elements your sample is made of
Petroleum contaminantsPlusThree categories of things we can look for. Your kit decides which of them get run, and the report says plainly what showed up and what didn’t.
This is what comes back.
Not a lab printout. Real pages from real reports:
Two of ten heavy metals showed up, both under the common range. Your land reads Volcanic, and your iron is in the range of samples from Iceland.
One plain paragraph at the top, before any chart.

Real numbers from a Treasure Hunting report. Over 400 times above normal.
Arsenic
A map of where else on earth the ground runs the same way, and the U.S. survey sites closest to yours.
Everything screened, on one chart, against the national range.
Readings in every report get lined up against somewhere you've heard of.
What we look for.
Pick a side for $99 or $149. Take both for $299.
Eight precious metals. Plus 17 rare earths—neodymium, yttrium, lanthanum, the ones in your phone and your car—and crude oil.Plus kit
Ten heavy metals. Plus 12 petroleum contaminants—gasoline, diesel, heating oil, motor oil, benzene, DDT.Plus kit
Plus 45 standard elements underneath both, oxygen on up—most of what your land is actually made of. UNDR Premium takes both sides: two samples, 90+ in all.
We built the lab because we couldn't get the answer either.
We have a child who puts everything in her mouth, and we wanted to know what was in our land. There wasn't an easy way to find out. That's part of why we built UNDR.
Every sample is run here in the U.S., on the same instrument with the same protocol, and a person reads every report before it goes out.
Not your county soil test.
Four ways to look at a property, and what each one actually tells you.
| Home inspection | Ag soil test | Environmental firm | UNDR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Looks at the land | No | Yes, for farming | Yes | Yes |
| Screens for | Nothing in the yard | pH and a few nutrients | Whatever the bank asks for | 90+ elements, gold to lead |
| Built for | Buyers | Farmers | Developers and lawyers | The person who lives there |
| You get | A PDF you read once | A table of numbers | A binder | Plain-English pages, a type, a map, comparisons |
| Cost | About $400 | Under $30 | Priced for developers | From $99 |
"I have no idea where to start."
That’s the normal starting point, and the kit assumes it. A small shovel, a card telling you how, and a prepaid mailer are in the box. Ten minutes in your own yard, then your own mailbox. Nobody comes to your property.
"What if it comes back boring?"
Every one comes back with a type, a map, two famous comparisons and a page per element. If yours tells you nothing you didn't already know, email us and we'll refund it.
"What if it comes back high?"
Then you'll know. An elevated number comes with a name, the usual reasons it shows up, and who handles it. A number you never looked up gets none of that.
Pick your kit.
Every kit ships with the shovel, gloves, pouches, prepaid mailer and the full report.

Relief if it reads ordinary, direction if it doesn’t—3 to 5 business days after your sample reaches the lab.
