5Strands Pet Intolerance and Imbalances Test

This is a simple at home test kit using a hair sample collection method. Testing results take 7-10 days after the hair sample has been received at the processing center. With this at home collection kit, learning about how your pet's body is responding to current dietary & lifestyle decisions has never been so easy.

The Pet Food Intolerance Test covers proteins, grains, vegetables, fruits, fats, seafood, additives and preservatives. The intolerances are listed into 3 levels based on the response upon exposure.

The Pet Environmental Intolerance Test covers fabrics, cleaning materials, grasses, trees, mold, dust mites, and other animal dander. It can be difficult to eliminate environmental items. However, knowledge is power and this report will help you to avoid these triggers as much as possible and try to manage any symptoms your pet might be experiencing (skin issues, scratching, paw biting, & inflammation). Unlike an allergy, intolerances do not involve the immune system.

The Pet Nutrition Test will indicate which of the key vitamins and minerals your pet’s body is not absorbing properly from their food and/or supplements. Unlike blood testing, it will not provide you with a physical measurement of the amount of nutrients in their body. Since this type of testing is energetic in nature, it will actually indicate items that your pet’s body may need more before it manifests into a physical issue (hair loss, joint pain, inflammation,  dry skin). This test will allow you to alter their food or supplement consumption accordingly.

The Pet Metals & Minerals Test will indicate your pet’s ability to process and eliminate the items tested. Unlike blood testing or HTMA testing, it will not provide you with a physical measurement of the amount of the metal or mineral in their body. If and when your pet would come in contact with any of the metals/minerals that register on their results, their bodies may not be able to process and eliminate those items the way their body was intended to. This can end up causing symptoms in the body (vomiting, diarrhea , seizures, bloody stools, lethargy, and loss of appetite) that may be hard to pinpoint where it is coming from.
