Key features

• •TESTS FOR 412 FOOD & 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.
• •TEST FOR NUTRITIONAL IMBALANCES. Inflammation can cause the cells to not absorb nutrients properly. This will inhibit the body from effectively performing certain functions. A nutrient imbalance can occur when your pet is fed a poor quality commercial dry food. While most dog foods do a great job providing a complete and balanced diet, there are many factors that can cause your dog to still develop imbalances for certain nutrients. Most commercial pet foods are designed for the "average" pet.
• •Certain medications can cause nutrients to metabolize faster than usual. Each pet has its own unique internal chemistry and metabolism, their own environment, and their own genetic make up. Even though pet food manufacturers may use high quality, bio-available ingredients, pets could be lacking the nutrients they need because they were not getting enough of them.
• •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.
