The 5Strands® Pet Intolerance Test is an at-home pet intolerance test for cats and dogs. This tests for intolerance in more than 200 pet food ingredients and preservatives as well as more than 100 environmental items. The pain free sampling allows for testing through analysis of the animals hair and fur. Results in 7 to 10 days.
Itching, biting, or skin, breathing or digestive issues can all be symptoms of a food or environmental intolerance. This test helps pet owners understand the symptoms their animal may experience due to food or environmental intolerances and sensitivities and make necessary changes to address the animal's issues.
Tests only for non-IgE medicated reactions or intolerances. Non-IgE reactions may have a delayed onset with symptoms appearing several hours or days after ingestion or exposure.
