Every pet processes nutrients differently, and even a balanced diet might not meet their health needs. The Pet Nutritional Imbalance Test uses a small hair sample to measure 40 key vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and omegas to see if your pet may be experiencing absorption issues. Imbalances can happen when your pet struggles to absorb nutrients, gets too much of certain vitamins or minerals, or when their diet doesn't match their specific requirements.

Signs of a nutrient imbalance can show up as joint discomfort, dry skin, hair loss, brittle nails, poor muscle recovery, or low energy. Even high-quality commercial food can fall short since every pet has different genetics and metabolism. Our simple at-home test gives you clear answers so you can adjust their diet to restore balance, improve digestion, and support better long term health.

Knowing that no allergy testing is 100 % accurate, I have found 5 Strand to be the least invasive and most thorough sensitivity testing I have used in the last 28 years of practice.

Dr. Wendy Asato

DVM

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.

Dr. Majid Tanveer

‎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.

Find Out Which Vitamins & Minerals Your Pet Struggles To Absorb

You might assume your pet’s food covers all their needs. Most brands say their diets are complete and balanced. But every dog and cat is different. Breed, age, stress, meds, and even your local environment affect how well your pet absorbs nutrients.

If their gut is inflamed or their food is full of synthetic additives, their body may struggle to pull in key vitamins and minerals. That can slow down important functions over time. Low energy, a dull coat, digestive issues, or weak nails often show up when nutrients aren’t absorbed the right way.

Our vitamins and minerals imbalance test for pets helps you see what’s really going on. It only needs a small hair sample to check how your pet processes essential vitamins and minerals. It’s not about what’s in the bowl - it’s about what their body actually takes in afterwards.

With clear results, you can adjust their diet, pick better foods, or change up supplements to match what your pet truly needs. It’s a simple way to fill the gaps so they look and feel their best.

Bare belly cat now is fuzzy
My cat would constantly be licking to the point of his stomach being completely bald. We would get steroid shots from his vet, but she was concerned about him continually getting them, which could cause kidney damage. They thought it could be from his food. We bought the 5Strands test and when we got the results we realized all of the ingredients in the food and snacks were ones he had issues with. We researched other cat food and their ingredients and found one that has been great. He now is growing fur on his stomach that has been bald for years. We have not had to get any shots since then.
