IMPORTANT: Our lab must have received your pet’s hair sample within the past 60 days, otherwise a physical test kit must be purchased with the digital test/upgrade.

Kibble and wet foods often contain hidden ingredients that may trigger intolerances in pets. Fillers, synthetic nutrients, and additives can contribute to digestive issues, itching, or changes in energy. This test identifies intolerances to the ingredients most commonly found in kibble and wet food so you can make better choices for your pet’s health.

Kibble & Wet Categories Tested: Color Agent (Natural Color, Synthetic Dye), Dehydrated (Dairy, Legume, Mushroom, Plant, Plant Fiber, Root, Vegetable), Extracted (Broth, Dairy Fat, Dairy Protein, Marine Oil, Plant Oil), Fermentable Substrate (Prebiotics), Fractionated Protein (Grain, Plant), Functional Additive (Anti-Caking Agent, Antioxidant, Emulsifier, Humectant, Thickening Agent), Ground (Grain, Legume, Mushroom, Plant, Shellfish, Spice), Hydrolyzed (Animal Digest, Dairy Protein, Plant Protein), Microbial Culture (Probiotics), Microbial Metabolite (Postbiotics, Fermentation Products), Milled (Grain), Palatability Additive (Sweetener), Rendered (By-Product, Fat, Insect, Meat, Organ, Seafood), Retorted (Meat, Organ, Seafood, Vegetable), Synthetic (Amino Acid, Minerals, Nutrient, Vitamin), Yeast Product (Yeast)

Air-Dried & Freeze-Dried Categories Tested: Air-Dried (Fruit, Grain, Insect, Legume, Meat, Mushroom, Organ, Plant, Root, Seafood, Seed, Tissue, Vegetable), Freeze-Dried (Dairy, Fruit, Legume, Meat, Mushroom, Organ, Plant, Root, Seafood, Vegetable)

No new hair sample is needed if your pet’s hair sample was received by our lab within the past 60 days. Simply purchase the test, and updated results will be uploaded to your 5Strands account within 3 days.

Your pet’s results are divided into 4 color-coded levels based on how their body responded when exposed to each item’s frequency. These levels help you understand what foods or environmental triggers may be contributing to internal stress, and how to take action to support their health.

Grey (No Significant Response) - Your pet did not show noticeable stress to this item. No immediate change is needed. You can continue using or feeding this item while watching for any future changes. Variety is still important to help reduce the chance of new sensitivities.

Green (Mild Response) - Your pet showed slight stress. This item may still be tolerated in small amounts or occasional exposure. However, regular use or feeding may build toward discomfort over time. Consider rotating it out periodically and monitoring for any symptoms.

Yellow (Moderate Response) - Your pet showed clear stress to this item. Reduce or temporarily remove this item. Whether it’s a food or an environmental trigger, cutting back can help ease symptoms like digestive issues, itching, or low energy.

Red (High Response) - Your pet showed a strong energetic disruption. Avoid this item for now. Their body may be overwhelmed and struggling to process or recover from contact with it. Giving them a break can help restore comfort and balance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Even premium diets can contain fillers, powders, or additives that are harder to process. Over time, eating the same formula every day can overwhelm digestion and lead to hidden stress.

That can happen. A clear result means her body is tolerating those foods at the moment, but other factors like environmental sensitivities or overexposure to a single ingredient may still contribute. Many owners use this test alongside others to get a fuller picture.

They can. Some pets react to synthetic nutrients or additives often found in kibble, while others struggle more with proteins or preservatives in wet foods. The test separates these responses so you can see where stress is coming from.

It doesn’t always mean you must remove it forever. Some owners rotate in other protein sources, try different brands, or feed smaller amounts while supporting digestion. The goal is to reduce strain, not eliminate every food at once.

Because the testing looks at frequency responses in a controlled setting, not current diet history. A flagged food shows how your pet might react if exposed again or suggests that similar ingredients already in their meals are adding to the load.

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.

After using 5Strands, we uncovered a surprising range of sensitivities in our dog—not just the usual suspects, but things we never would’ve guessed. From ingredients in his daily food and treats to environmental chemicals, molds, and even plants, the results gave us a full picture of what might be affecting him. Now we’re one step closer to finding the root cause of his nonstop scratching and finally giving him the relief he deserves.
