From digging and exploring the outdoors to sharing food and water bowls, your pet is regularly exposed to microscopic organisms like worms, mites, and protozoa. Most of the time, their body clears them out naturally. But when the system becomes overloaded, your pet may show signs of discomfort like itching, digestive issues, or low energy.

The 5Strands Parasite Sensitivity & Intolerance Test for Pets uses a non-invasive hair sample to evaluate how your dog or cat responds to 80+ internal and external parasites. It doesn't diagnose infections or confirm if parasites are present, but it does show which organisms may be creating the greatest stress.

This test helps identify which exposures may need attention, offering insight to support your pet’s gut, skin, immune health, and overall wellness.

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.

Arthropods, Cestodes, Flyborne, Microsporidia, Nematodes, Protozoa, Trematodes

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 see how their body is responding to foods and environmental factors. This structure helps you know which items to completely avoid, which to limit, and which are generally safe in moderation or without concern as you work toward better balance.

Step-by-Step Elimination Plan:

Step 1: Red (High Response)
Intolerances: Completely remove flagged foods for 6–8 weeks to give the digestive system time to reset.
Sensitivities: Eliminate exposures where possible, which may include reducing contact with certain products, substances, or materials flagged in the results.

Step 2: Yellow (Moderate Response)
Intolerances: Avoid these foods whenever possible. If reintroduced, do so only after symptoms improve and monitor closely.
Sensitivities: Reduce exposure as much as possible. If full avoidance isn’t realistic, limit contact and monitor for stress signs such as itching, digestive upset, low energy, or changes in behavior.

Step 3: Green (Mild Response)
Intolerances: Feed sparingly. These may be tolerated in small amounts but repeated exposure could still stress the gut.
Sensitivities: Allow limited contact, but avoid repeated or long-term exposure. Watch for patterns in energy, skin, or digestion that may indicate stress.

Step 4: Grey (No Significant Response)
Intolerances: These ingredients are safe to continue feeding. Keep meals varied to prevent new intolerances from developing.
Sensitivities: These items are considered safe for your pet. Normal exposure or use can continue without concern.

Step 5: Monitor & Retest
Intolerances: After the elimination period, reintroduce foods one at a time, leaving 3–5 days between each and watching for symptoms.
Sensitivities: Gradually reintroduce exposures in a controlled way. Retest every 4 months to track changes, as your pet's body may shift with seasons, stress, medications, and other lifestyle changes.

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

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.
