I saved $1200 the vet was going to charge me and this test 100% proved what we suspected! My fur baby has been scratching and licking her paws for over a year. Friends suspected intolerances to chicken and grass, and this test confirmed she’s intolerant to four types of grass, cranberries, and chicken by-products—found in most dog foods! Best $144 spent. I even bought a second test for her brother. - Jolene K.

Changing Lives Is What We Do
Once you receive your test results, you can implement a personalized elimination plan to manage you or your pet’s symptoms.
“The testing process is as simple as possible, with quick results. At first, seeing so many triggers was frustrating—what is she going to eat?! But I’d rather avoid anything that might cause a reaction, even mild itchiness. Over time, it’s become routine to watch her closely (people always try to feed her!) and check ingredients before giving her anything. It’s truly valuable to know what to avoid without guessing.”
-John D.
“Once we got the results, we immediately changed her diet to the Less sensitive foods and kept her away from all other sources of foods. We also put the nail caps on her back claws to minimize the damage that scratching could cause while we switched her diet and was recovering from the itch wounds. After getting the results and changing her diet (keep in mind the first 10 days she was on the steroid to help minimize the itching) she was completely cleared up after about 5 weeks and is still clear to this day!”

Don't Let Your Pet Suffer in Silence - Give Them a Voice!
Every year, 29.9 million dogs in the U.S. suffer from food intolerances, relying on us to manage their diet since they can't recognize the issue themselves.
- A lack of digestive enzymes makes certain foods difficult to digest, leading to intolerances.
- Intolerances can cause dogs to experience diarrhea, vomiting, itching, ear infections, and digestive discomfort.
- The first step is to test for food and environmental triggers that may be causing symptoms.
- Once you receive your results, you can start a food and environmental elimination plan.

I was not comfortable giving my pup injections and/or pills for her constant itching. The 5Strands test is amazing. It gave me direction on what to avoid. Highly recommend it. Dolly and I thank you.

Life Saver
I’m so happy that I used your company. I was giving my dog the Justfoodfordogs Cod recipe and he started itching and licking all on his stomach and inner legs which caused him to get a fungal infection. When I received the results from your analysis my dog had a red reaction to all the ingredients in the food I was giving him.After I took him off he was fine and no more itching or licking. Thank you so much.

Dog Tested For Allergies And Intolerance
Oh my gosh I was shocked how many things he is severely allergic to. We have been going round and round on fresh food raw meat reducing what he. Ate and found out he needs to be on a bubble with all the environment thing he is also allergic to… was great to finally have answers thank you.

IMPRESSIVE
I was so impressed with the amount of items you cover in your testing! The report is going to be so helpful in feeding my dog Cooper. I was even surprised at some of the foods he is allergic to…some I would never have thought. He is going to feel so much better not having them in his diet. Environmental allergies are going to be more difficult to handle but, definitely, the ones under my control will be out of his life. Thank you for offering this tool to help our pets lead a healthier life.
