Are you feeding kibble, supplements, or commercially prepared treats? This Pet Food Intolerance Test was created to help give your dog or cat a voice about which ingredients in their daily diet may be contributing to ongoing discomfort. When their gut microbiome has difficulty breaking down certain foods, due to frequency exposure, preparation, or a true intolerance, signs like scratching, loose stool, paw licking, head shaking, or even behavioral issues can show up over time.

Instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed trying to guess what food to reduce, remove, or rotate to, simply send us your pet's hair. We analyze responses to over 825 items commonly found in commercial pet foods and treats to provide insight into how strong your pet may response to certain ingredients. Your pet's results are delivered via email as a PDF report and uploaded to your 5Strands mobile app account. There you can filter results and learn more about each item tested.

The categories of commercial pet food ingredients  tested includes powdered dairy, emulsifiers, extracted oils, fillers, flavor enhancers, food dyes, fruit, grains, legumes, meats, mushrooms, prebiotics, probiotics, seafoods, spices, thickening agents, and vegetables. For those feeding freeze-dried, we cover fruits, meats, mushrooms, organs, seafood & vegetables. The categories of synthetic amino acids, minerals and vitamins are also included.
