Is your pet constantly itching, licking, or shedding more than usual?

Your pet’s environment could be contributing to their discomfort. From pollen and grasses to cleaning products and fabrics, daily exposures may be triggering stress without showing up as medical allergies.

The 5Strands Pet Environmental Sensitivity Test evaluates how your dog or cat is responding to 280+ common environmental items. Using the hair sample you've already provided, we will identify potential triggers that could be affecting their skin, coat, digestion, or behavior.

This test is safe for all breeds and ages. An affordable way to give your pet a voice and reduce unnecessary stressors in their life.

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 upgrade.

Your pet’s response is measured against 282 environmental items across categories including animals, broadleaf plants, cleaners, coniferous trees, deciduous trees, fabrics, flowers, fuels, grasses, and insects. Pinpointing these sensitivities helps you understand what may be triggering your pet’s discomfort indoors and outdoors.

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 sensitivity results are divided into 4 levels so you can see how their body is responding to different exposures. This structure helps you know what to avoid completely, what to limit, and what is generally safe in moderation.

Step-by-Step Elimination Plan:

Step 1: Remove all Red (High Sensitivity) items for 6–8 weeks. These should be completely avoided, whether that means changing cleaning products, avoiding certain outdoor areas, or switching food and water sources if metals are flagged.

Step 2: Steer clear of Yellow (Moderate Sensitivity) items whenever you can. If they can’t be eliminated completely, cut back your pet's exposure to them.

Step 3: Reduce exposure to Green (Mild Sensitivity) items. These are generally tolerated in small amounts, but frequent or long-term contact can still contribute to symptoms.

Step 4: Grey (No Significant Response) items are considered safe for your pet. They can be part of your pet’s environment without concern.

Step 5: Continue monitoring after changes. If symptoms lessen, you may try reintroducing some exposures in a controlled way. Retesting every 4 months helps you track progress as seasons shift, environments change, or your pet’s overall health improves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because not every itch, sneeze, or energy dip comes from food. Pets are constantly exposed to grass, dust, cleaning supplies, fabrics, and airborne particles. This test helps reveal which of those exposures may be placing hidden stress on their system.

Yes, and it often does. A dog that scratches after every walk might get mistaken for having a food allergy, when in reality it’s reacting to pollen or yard chemicals. Separating environmental triggers from food triggers saves time and frustration.

That doesn’t mean you can eliminate them completely, but it does give you direction. Many owners swap laundry detergents, add an air purifier, or change bedding materials. Small adjustments like these often ease irritation and improve comfort.

Not always. Seasonal pollen, humidity, and even household cleaning routines can change how a pet responds. That’s why sensitivities can look worse in spring than in winter, or after switching cleaning products.

Focus on the biggest stressors first. If grass and detergents both show up, try rinsing your dog’s paws after walks and swapping to a pet-safe detergent. You don’t need to change everything overnight. The goal is to reduce load, not chase perfection.

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.

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.
