The 5Strands Pet Raw Food & Environmental Intolerance Test combines two powerful assessments to uncover the sources of your pet’s discomfort. Designed for raw-fed pets, this test evaluates sensitivities to over 300 raw food items, including meats, seafood, bones, fruits, vegetables, and oils. It also identifies intolerances to 105 environmental items, such as cleaning supplies, grasses, mold, dust mites, and animal dander.

By analyzing your pet’s energetic responses using advanced bioresonance technology, this test reveals temporary imbalances that may cause symptoms like upset stomach, scratching, hair loss, paw biting, and hot spots. Unlike allergies, which involve the immune system, intolerances are non-life-threatening reactions that can take hours or days to manifest. This test empowers you with insights to create a healthier diet and environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

    The Raw Food Intolerance Test assesses your pet’s reactions to:
    Proteins: Beef, chicken, lamb, venison, and more.
    Seafood: Salmon, shrimp, and mackerel.
    Bones: Common sources of calcium, including marrow bones.
    Fruits & Vegetables: Apples, carrots, and spinach.
    Oils & Fats: Coconut oil, fish oil, and other essential raw diet components.

    The Environmental Intolerance Test evaluates:
    Fabrics & Cleaning Supplies: Synthetic and natural fibers, household cleaners, and detergents.
    Grasses, Trees, & Pollens: Common seasonal and outdoor triggers.
    Molds & Dust Mites: Indoor allergens that may exacerbate sensitivities.
    Other Animal Dander: Potential reactions to cats, dogs, or other household pets.

    Once you receive your pet raw food & environmental intolerance test kit: (1) Register your pet's 5Strands kit via our mobile app or on 5Strands.com using the unique ID code inside your box. (2) Collect 10-15 strands of your pet's hair. No root required. (3) Use the prepaid envelope to send your pet's hair sample back to our lab. (4) Once the sample arrives, your results will be delivered to you in 5 business days. (5) After 60 days, the sample will be permanently disposed of.

    Your pet’s test results provide a roadmap to address sensitivities and intolerances. For Level 3 items (high intolerance), we recommend removing them from their diet or minimizing exposure for 6–8 weeks. During this time, their system has a chance to recover and rebalance. After the elimination phase, you can reintroduce items one at a time in rotation and moderation to identify safe levels of consumption.

    For environmental sensitivities, complete avoidance may not always be possible, but the report helps you manage triggers. For instance, you can switch to hypoallergenic cleaning products, use air purifiers, or limit outdoor exposure during peak allergy seasons.

    This test is a commitment to your pet’s long-term health, not a quick fix. Whether it means adjusting their raw diet by swapping out proteins, eliminating problematic oils, or addressing environmental irritants, the insights help you make informed decisions. Retesting every 6–12 months ensures your pet’s plan evolves with their changing needs.

    Give your pet a voice with 5Strands and help them thrive with a tailored plan for their diet and environment!

    Knowing that allergies are only the root cause a small percentage of the time, I have found 5Strands' test to be the least invasive and most thorough intolerance and sensitivity testing I have used in the last 28 years of practice.

    ‎What I love most is how this test helps pets feel better. I’ve seen dogs and cats go from non-stop scratching or upset stomachs to having shiny coats, happy bellies, and renewed energy.

    As a veterinarian, I’m impressed by the measurable improvements seen in pets after using the 5Strands Pet Intolerances & Imbalances Test. This test that helps pet owners identify food and environmental factors affecting their dog’s or cat’s health. Supported by a 45-day clinical study, it helps pet parents to make informed decisions to improve their pet’s digestion, skin condition, energy, and overall vitality.

    Dog and cat owners should consider the 5Strands pet intolerance tests when pets face ongoing digestive issues, skin problems, behavioral changes, or other unexplained symptoms tied to food sensitivities. Early testing can improve health, ease chronic symptoms, and enhance your pet’s quality of life.

    I found the 5Strands pet intolerance tests to be a helpful screening tool for pets with ongoing skin or digestive concerns. It’s easy to use, non-invasive, and the report is clear and actionable, making it easier for pet owners to adjust their pet’s diet with more confidence.

    Raw Food Isn't Always "Healthy"

    Raw food seems like the healthy choice. It’s natural. It’s unprocessed. But that doesn’t mean your pet’s digestive enzymes and gut biome can handle it.

    Even if they’re not on a raw or BARF diet, those raw eggs, chicken scraps, or bits of steak you drop into their bowl could be causing problems - itching, ear gunk, loose stools, skin flare-ups. Not because the food is “bad,” but because their system just can't break it down well.

    The 5Strands Raw Food & Environmental Intolerance Test checks how your cat or dog responds to 300+ common raw foods and 100+ environmental items. It gives you insights into their intolerances so you’re not stuck guessing the root cause of their symptoms.

    All you need is a small fur sample. Mail it in, and we email you your pet's results in just a few days. You’ll find out exactly which raw foods your pet might not be tolerating, so you can stop playing trial-and-error and actually make a plan that works for them.

      Eye-opening!

      Getting this test done has been a huge help in reducing the allergen load on my 8 year-old Lab. She's allergic to quite a bit of food and a lot of environmental things. I had wasted a lot money on OTC 'fixes.'

      Nothing worked. I should have had this testing done first.

      Great Results

      I ordered the raw food and environmental test to figure out what my babies allergies were exactly. The test was super easy and the results were extremely prompt. Very extensive and informative! A few items under her protein list were some of her favorites, but obviously not good for her.

      Helped a ton and I have switched her food and am trying to keep certain things away from her. She seems to be adjusting well and doing better. I highly recommend this test!

      So helpful!

      It’s wonderful to have this information on my sweet dog. Now I will look carefully at labels to make sure she can tolerate what’s in the food I give her. That should help a great deal with her allergies.

      Great Service but Results Not Helpful

      The customer service is top notch. However there was so much minutia in the results, I'm not sure how we could use them to figure out what my dog isn't intolerant too.
