The 5Strands Pet Raw Food Intolerance Test is designed specifically for pets on raw food diets, including BARF, Ancestral, and Whole Prey Diets. With the ability to analyze over 300 raw food ingredients—such as meats, seafood, bones, fruits, vegetables, and oils—this test identifies potential intolerances that may disrupt your pet’s digestion and well-being. By pinpointing these sensitivities, the test empowers you to craft a diet perfectly aligned with your pet’s biological needs.


Dogs and cats are naturally equipped to thrive on raw diets, much like their wild ancestors. However, years of exposure to processed pet foods may have contributed to gut imbalances and sensitivities. This test uncovers how your pet interacts with raw ingredients, allowing you to address intolerances and optimize their diet for improved energy, digestion, and overall health. By eliminating problematic foods and focusing on those that support their gut microbiome, you can help your pet achieve a state of balance and vitality.


The Pet Raw Food Intolerance Test is perfect for pet parents already committed to raw feeding or those transitioning away from commercial pet foods. Whether you’re dealing with persistent symptoms like itching, digestive upset, or low energy, this test provides actionable insights to make confident and informed adjustments to your pet’s raw diet. Start your pet’s journey to natural health and well-being today!

 

The Pet Raw Food Intolerance Test focuses exclusively on the raw food ingredients commonly found in BARF, Ancestral, and Whole Prey Diets. This test is tailored to ensure your pet thrives on whole, nutrient-rich ingredients while identifying potential triggers that may cause discomfort or imbalance. Testing sensitivity to over 300 raw items, including:

Meats: Chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, venison, and other proteins commonly included in raw diets.
Seafood: Fish and shellfish like salmon, mackerel, and shrimp.
Bones: Marrow bones and other edible raw bones used for calcium and enrichment.
Fruits & Vegetables: Apples, carrots, spinach, and other fresh produce.
Oils & Fats: Coconut oil, fish oil, and other essential dietary fats.

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.

Even "Healthy" Raw Foods May Cause Gut Issues

Even if your dog isn’t on a full raw diet like BARF or PMR, raw foods might still be part of their routine. Maybe you give them a chunk of raw fruit here and there. Maybe they get raw meat or veggie scraps while you’re cooking. Or perhaps you use freeze-dried raw treats for training. These little things feel natural, but that doesn’t always mean they sit well with your dog’s system.

Sometimes their gut can't break down raw ingredients properly. When that happens, the body pushes back. You start to notice signs like itching, ear gunk, loose stools, skin flare-ups. The symptoms come and go, and most of the time, you wouldn’t think to trace them back to raw food. Especially when you’re only giving a little at a time.

The 5Strands Raw Food Intolerance Test helps make that connection. It screens for over 150 raw ingredients, including common meats, fruits, vegetables, and raw dairy. You send in a small hair sample from home. A few days later, you get a full report showing which raw foods your dog may not tolerate well.

With those results, you can start making smarter choices. No more guessing. No more back-and-forth between diets and supplements. Just clear insight to help you avoid what’s triggering their body and feed them in a way that actually works.

    Pet Raw Food Test

    This is the second time I have used this test. I would highly recommend using this at least once a year, "especially" for dogs with itchy skin and intolerances to foods! Get off foods that are inflammatory to your dog as intolerances change at anytime. I have given 3 tests in total and have loved getting results in a matter of days with my dogs.

    Good new test for raw foods. Found out my dog is allergic to some of the organs added to raw foods. Doing so much better now and reintroducing some things back in diet. Have to watch where you get products from.
