According to the Purina Institute, up to 40% of dogs suffer from food intolerances, yet less than 1% of dog owners test for them.
Food intolerances in dogs are often mistaken for allergies, but unlike immune-triggered reactions, they stem from digestive sensitivities. While not life-threatening, intolerance can cause chronic discomfort, making ingredient awareness key to your dog’s well-being.
Countless dog owners have faced the frustration of unexplained itching, hot spots, and digestive issues, only to discover that food intolerances were the hidden culprit.
Aiden - “I purchased this test because my dog’s skin was super irritated and she was constantly scratching and the vet could not figure out what was causing it. She had been on steroid medications for several months and nothing was helping. After receiving the test results, it showed that my dog has an intolerance to beef which was the main ingredient in her dog food. Within 2 weeks of changing her dog food, the itching has stopped! This test has been a life saver! I would definitely recommend this product to any pet owner.”
Marissa - "I was told when my puppy was about a year old that she had a poultry allergy, since then, I’ve tried Bison and Sweet Potato; Salmon and Sweet Potato; Beef (not beef meal) and green peas; Kirkland’s premium dog food; 2 varieties of the Solid Gold dog food; along with about 5 other foods and was at my wit’s end because I was running out of foods to feed my poor pup. I looked into allergy tests, found this one, saw it had good reviews and cost less than a trip to the vet, and ordered it.
Thank God, I ordered this because (1) the first thing my vet told me to cut was chicken, when it turns out chicken (but not chicken meal) was pretty much the only protein she could eat; (2) she was allergic to peanut butter, but because I thought she had a poultry allergy, all her treats had peanut butter in them; and (3) now, I finally know what I can feed my dog instead of just guessing/trying an elimination diet.
Please try this and do NOT listen to vets who just immediately jump to a poultry allergy conclusion!"
How to identify food intolerances?
The first step to reducing your dog’s food intolerance symptoms is using an at-home pet intolerance test to identify trigger ingredients and make informed dietary changes.
An at-home intolerance test is like giving your dog a voice in their own health—because while they can’t tell you what’s upsetting their stomach, science can.
-
Comprehensive Screening – Tests for sensitivities to hundreds of foods, including proteins, grains, dairy, and more.
-
Fast & Accurate – Get clear results in 4 days, skipping months of elimination diets.
-
Vet-Trusted – Recommended by veterinarians and used by 300,000+ pet owners.
-
Easy & Painless – No vet visits or needles—just send a fur sample from home.
-
Clear Action Plan – Identify triggers, adjust your dog’s diet, and monitor improvements.
Now imagine your dog, unable to tell you what’s wrong, stuck in a cycle of discomfort.
As Dr. W. Jean Dodds puts it, "Food sensitivities and intolerances are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to chronic health issues in dogs, making reliable testing essential for accurate dietary management." (JAHVMA, Vol. 49, Winter 2017/2018).
Science gives us the tools to take the guesswork out of our pets' health—so why not use them?
