About This

• UNCOVER YOUR PET’S FOOD & ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITIES. If your pet is experiencing hot spots, constant scratching, stomach discomforts and paw licking, this test is for you. These symptoms of discomfort can develop over time if your pet has sensitivities to specific foods in their diet and/or items found in their surrounding environment. Great news! Identifying the source of their intolerances is the first huge step towards alleviating your dog or cat’s symptoms.
• TESTS FOR 275 FOOD & 105 ENVIRONMENTAL ITEMS. The 5Strands cat and dog intolerance screening will check your dog or cat’s sensitivities to the most common pet food ingredients (ex: chicken, turkey, cheese & peanut butter) as well as common items found in their environmental surroundings (ex: acrylic fabric, polyester, cotton & apple cider vinegar). This will give you a proactive guideline to begin eliminating specific items from their diet and lifestyle.
• TRUSTED BY VETERINARIANS. 5Strands has helped over 250k people and pets find answers traditional medicine failed to provide. Our painless, non-invasive, and affordable at-home testing solutions are trusted by veterinary professionals nationwide, and a full team of support specialists are there to ensure your questions or concerns are properly addressed.
• NO VET VISITS, NEEDLES, OR ADDITIONAL FEES. The entire testing process can be carried out comfortably from home (1) Register your pet’s intolerance test kit online (2) Collect their hair/fur samples (3) Send the samples back to 5Strands using the included prepaid shipping materials (4) Receive testing results via the customer portal within 7 days of your sample's arrival.
• TAKING ACTION WITH YOUR PET’S TEST RESULTS. Once you receive your pet’s sensitivity test results, begin eliminating any “Severe” environmental or food intolerance items over a 6-8 week timeline, giving your pet’s body ample time to heal and rebalance itself. After the elimination period, slowly reintroduce items one-at-a-time while closely monitoring for recurring symptoms.
