The 5Strands Pet Treat Intolerance Test helps uncover hidden dietary triggers in your pet’s favorite treats. It analyzes your pet’s hair sample against 100+ of the most common pet treat ingredients including jerky, bones, organs, and freeze-dried snacks to identify ingredients that may be causing discomfort.

This test is designed to detect temporary disruptions in your pet’s gut microbiome. When left unaddressed, these food intolerances can lead to symptoms like paw biting, scratching, digestive issues, or ear infections.

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.

Covers common ingredients like beef cheek, duck jerky, freeze-dried salmon, pork pizzle, and Himalayan cheese

You can collect hair from any part of your pet’s body. Simply brush, cut, or gently pull fur to gather the required sample.

If your pet’s fur is longer than 1 inch, collect 10–15 strands. If their fur is shorter than 1 inch, gather 20–25 strands.

A bath isn’t required before testing. However, make sure the hair sample is free of visible dirt, debris, or other foreign materials to avoid interference with the testing process.

Your pet’s treat intolerance results give you a clear plan to reduce discomfort caused by dietary triggers. For Level 3 items (ingredients that triggered a severe response) we recommend removing these treats from your pet’s routine for 6–8 weeks. After that, reintroduce one at a time, in rotation and moderation, to assess what they can safely enjoy.

This elimination approach helps support your pet’s gut health and minimizes symptoms like itching, paw biting, diarrhea, and constipation.

Choosing Safe Treats:
If your results flag several common ingredients, it may take some extra care to find store-bought treats that work. Use your results to cross-check labels, avoiding any Level 3 items. This ensures your pet only gets treats that align with their unique needs.

Making Your Own Treats:
For pets with multiple treat sensitivities, preparing simple treats at home can be a smart solution. You get full control over the ingredients and avoid the additives found in many packaged options.

Over 300,000 people and pets have trusted 5Strands to uncover the root causes of their unexplained symptoms. Our ISO-certified lab uses third-party tested methods to deliver reliable, non-invasive results—so you can take control of your health with confidence.

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

Offering a variety of treats to your dog or cat helps reduce the risk of developing sensitivities from repeated exposure to the same ingredients. Pets can experience intolerances over time when their systems struggle to handle certain components found in their favorite snacks. By rotating treats, you not only minimize the chances of intolerance but also provide a more diverse range of nutrients to support overall well-being. This approach ensures your pet is better equipped to handle dietary changes without discomfort. The Pet Treat Intolerance Test gives you the knowledge to choose the best options for your pet, helping you create a treat plan that prioritizes their health and keeps them feeling their best.
