About This

• TEST YOUR PET’S FOR 855+ FOOD INTOLERANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITIES. Our 2-in-1 pet sensitivity and intolerance test reveals your dog or cat’s response to 575 food ingredients and 282 environmental items, like fabrics, cleaning products, plants, and grasses. You’ll uncover what may be contributing to symptoms like diarrhea, paw biting & licking, skin irritations, and watery eyes.
• HOW DIETARY & ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS IMPACT YOUR PET’S HEALTH. When your pet’s gut microbiome and digestive enzymes struggle to break down certain foods or their body reacts to environmental exposures like fabrics, pollen, or cleaning agents, it can lead to similar symptoms like excessive gas, hot spots, bad breath, and ear discharge.
• EASY 3-STEP PROCESS. Collect 10–15 strands of your pet’s fur from the comfort of home, mail it to our certified lab using the prepaid envelope, and receive results by email or through our mobile app in 4 days. No vet visits required.
• ITEMS CATEGORIZED BY 4 RESPONSE LEVELS. Your pet’s food intolerance and environmental sensitivity test highlights Insignificant, Mild, Moderate, and Severe responses. This helps you create an elimination plan to remove or reduce the highest stressors for a period of time, helping their gut health and body recover naturally.
