The 5Strands Pet Treat Intolerance Test helps uncover hidden dietary triggers in your pet’s favorite treats.

With fast, accurate, and easy-to-understand results, you’ll know exactly which treat ingredients to avoid. No more guesswork or trial-and-error. Just actionable insights you can use to create a safer, more supportive treat routine for your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Your pet may still enjoy treats, but it’s crucial to choose ones that align with their intolerance test results. Here's how to ensure their treats are safe:

Check the Ingredient List Carefully
Even a small amount of a triggering ingredient can cause a reaction. Food intolerances are not dependent on the quantity but on how your pet's body reacts to specific items.

Avoid All Level 3 Ingredients
During the elimination phase (6–8 weeks), avoid treats that include any flagged Level 3 ingredients. Even trace amounts can trigger a reaction, so thorough label reading is essential.

How Do I Shop for Safe Treats?
Match Your Results: Use your pet’s test results as a guide. Focus on treats that do not include any flagged ingredients, particularly Level 3 items.

Read Labels Thoroughly: Hidden triggers, such as by-products, meals, or additives, can lurk in treat formulations. For example, "beef by-product" could contain elements flagged in your pet’s test results.

Consider Limited Ingredient Treats: These treats have fewer components, making it easier to avoid triggers while still giving your pet a delicious reward.

If You Can’t Find Suitable Treats
If safe treats are difficult to find, you can explore alternative options:

Homemade Treats: Baking or preparing your pet's treats at home allows full control over the ingredients.

Fresh or Freeze-Dried Options: Many brands offer fresh or minimally processed treats with transparent ingredient lists.

Yes! The Pet Treat Intolerance Test is designed to work for all cat and dog breeds. It evaluates your pet’s unique response to various ingredients, regardless of their breed, age, or size.

Results can vary depending on your pet’s sensitivity and overall health, but many pet owners notice improvements within 4–6 weeks of eliminating triggering ingredients. During this time, it’s important to follow the elimination phase closely, avoiding all flagged Level 3 ingredients. Common signs of improvement include better digestion, reduced skin irritation, and increased energy levels. Every pet is unique, so some may take a little longer to show noticeable changes. Patience and consistency are key!

Even if your pet doesn’t exhibit clear symptoms, identifying and avoiding potential triggers can still contribute to their long-term health and well-being. Some intolerances may not present with obvious signs but could cause subtle issues like low energy, digestive discomfort, or inflammation over time. Using the test results to make informed choices ensures your pet’s diet is truly optimized for their unique needs.

Homemade treats can be an excellent option for pets with intolerances because they give you full control over the ingredients. Using your pet’s test results, you can create simple, nutritious treats tailored to their specific needs. Just ensure any homemade recipes are balanced and safe for your pet’s breed, age, and size.

Benefits of Treat Rotation

Your pet’s treat jar might be hiding a secret source of discomfort.

Many treats pack flavors your pet loves, but their bodies might struggle to digest them. The result? Paw licking, itchy skin, upset stomachs, even ear infections. These signals are often chalked up to “just random” changes or blamed on their regular food, while the true cause lurks in flavor-packed snacks.

The 5Strands Pet Treat Intolerance Test screens your dog or cat's hair against 100+ common treat ingredients. It covers categories like jerky, bones, organs, freeze-dried meats without needing any blood or vet visits. You just collect a small hair sample at home, send it in, and get a clear, color-coded report within days.

With results in hand, you can stop guessing. Remove or limit Level 3 trigger ingredients for 6–8 weeks and reintroduce one at a time. This controlled approach helps heal the gut and pinpoint safe treats. You can shop smarter or even prepare simple homemade options tailored to what your pet can actually enjoy, without discomfort.
