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.

Even when foods are preserved through freeze-drying, they can still trigger intolerances in pets. Symptoms like itching, digestive upset, or low energy may be linked to certain ingredients. This test identifies intolerances to freeze-dried foods so you can adjust your pet’s diet with confidence.

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 levels so you can clearly see how their body is responding to different ingredients. This structure helps you know which foods to avoid, what to limit, and what is generally safe in moderation.

Step-by-Step Elimination Plan:

Step 1: Remove all Red (High Intolerance) ingredients from your pet’s diet for 6–8 weeks. This gives their digestive system time to reset and recover.

Step 2: Use Yellow (Moderate Intolerance) ingredients sparingly in your pet’s diet. Only reintroduce them once symptoms improve, and carefully track how your pet responds.

Step 3: Reduce Green (Mild Intolerance) ingredients from your pet's diet. They may be tolerated in small amounts, but repeated exposure could still place stress on your pet’s gut.

Step 4: Continue with Grey (No Significant Response) ingredients, but maintain variety in their meals. Rotating foods helps reduce the chance of new intolerances developing.

Step 5: After the elimination period, reintroduce foods one at a time, leaving 3–5 days between each new ingredient while watching for symptoms. Retesting every 4 months helps ensure your pet’s diet continues to match their changing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Freeze-dried diets are often seen as high-quality, but even clean ingredients can put strain on digestion when they are fed too often. Over time, certain proteins, nutrients, or additives may build up and create stress in the gut.

No. Allergies usually trigger fast and obvious reactions. Intolerances develop more quietly and may show up as bloating, itching, loose stools, or changes in energy. This test looks at those slower digestive stressors instead of immediate allergic responses.

Each hair sample is tested in a controlled setting, so past consumption isn’t required. A flagged food reflects how your pet’s system might react if it became part of their regular diet, or that a similar ingredient already in their meals is contributing to the stress.

It doesn’t mean the food is “bad.” It suggests your pet’s digestive system may be struggling to handle it right now. Many owners rotate ingredients, reduce portions, or add digestive support to ease the strain and give the gut time to recover.

Yes. Results reflect your pet’s current state, and they can shift as gut health and diet variety improve. With better balance, foods that once caused stress may be tolerated again in the future.

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.

Dr. Wendy Asato

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.

‎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.

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.
