## Description

5Strands provides an easy and affordable pet intolerance screening to help identify the root cause of your dog or cat's discomforts, including hot spots, constant scratching, stomach issues, and paw licking - symptoms that are most likely related to food sensitivities. The test covers 575 proteins, grains, dairy, fruits, and vegetable items commonly found in pet foods. It can be conveniently conducted at home, eliminating the need for vet visits, needles, or extra fees. Once you receive the test results, you can proactively eliminate severe food intolerances for 6-8 weeks to allow your pet's body to heal. 5Strands is trusted by veterinarians around the nation and has assisted over 250,000 pet owners in finding solutions for their pets' unexplained health issues.

Review: A really good result. - I used this test for my dog who Had many allergies. It does say to retry after a certain amount of days based on how strong the intolerance is. Really helpful.
Review: Completely Unreliable and Considered a Scam by My Vet - I sent off a hair-sample allergy test for my cat, hoping it would give me some guidance about his food intolerances. When the results came back, I forwarded them to my vet — and the response shocked me. My vet explained that this type of hair testing is not scientifically valid at all. The company uses something called “bioresonance”, which supposedly reads the “energy/vibrations” of the hair and matches it to foods. My vet said this has no scientific basis whatsoever, comparing it to trying to read someone’s aura. In their words, the results are “completely meaningless” and should be fully disregarded. The vet also said that companies like this can make any claims they want because they’re based in the U.S. and don’t need to prove their tests are medically accurate. That was really disappointing to hear, especially after paying for it and hoping it would help my cat. If your pet has suspected food allergies, the vet said the only reliable method is a proper food elimination trial using a hydrolysed diet for 2–3 months, or in some cases, real medical blood tests (which are still less reliable than an elimination diet). Hair tests like this cannot diagnose anything. Overall, I feel like I wasted my money and got my hopes up for nothing. I would not recommend this product to anyone — it’s misleading, unscientific, and gives results that even vets say are useless.

## Features

- TESTS 570+ INGREDIENTS TO FIND FOOD INTOLERANCES. This at-home test for dogs and cats uncovers the foods that may be triggering diarrhea, paw biting and licking, or constant scratching. It tests across 14 categories, including proteins, grains, dairy, fats, and additives, so you have a clear idea of where to start an elimination diet and avoid guessing.
- DON’T IGNORE THESE SYMPTOMS. Food intolerances can cause pets to have gas, hot spots, excessive fur loss, bad breath, ear infections, or watery eyes because their gut microbiome and digestive enzymes aren’t capable of processing every type of food.
- HOW IT WORKS. Collect 10–15 strands of your pet’s fur, mail them to our certified lab, and receive easy-to-read results in 4 days via email or through our mobile app. Using your results, you can make targeted dietary changes instead of guessing through trial-and-error.
- 4 SEVERITY LEVELS TO GUIDE YOU. Your report categorizes each ingredient as Insignificant, Mild, Moderate, or Severe responses, so you know which foods to remove or reduce from your pet’s diet. This helps improve your pet’s gut health, which then helps reduce or eliminate their symptoms.
- 3RD PARTY VALIDATED & VET-RECOGNIZED. Our intolerance and sensitivity tests use double-pass validation for accuracy, and we’re trusted by holistic veterinarians worldwide. We’ve helped over 345,000 pets and people find answers for their unexplained symptoms from the comfort of their home.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: A review mentioned that you needed hair 1 inch long, my dog has short hair, shorter than 1 inch.  Can I still use this test?**
A: Hello! You are welcome to still submit hair sample, we just ask for more individual pieces! So try to provide us a decent quantity <3

**Q: Does it test for food allergies. Is it real like some companies just put in fake results?**
A: 5Strands does test for food intolerances, which are imbalances in our pets diet or environment.  These imbalances exhibit in symptoms such as hot spots, upset stomach, biting paws, constant scratching, etc. 5Strands does not test for immune system responses known as true allergies which require immediate medical action.

**Q: the card inside the test asks for an order # to process- is that the amazon order # or the little # on the barcode on the outside of the box??**
A: Don't worry that is just asking for your Amazon Order # so that we can confirm valid purchase upon arrival of your sample! We will email you once we receive your sample successfully!

**Q: Will it test for a chicken allergy?**
A: Yes…in fact it tests for chicken, chicken meal, chicken heart, chicken fat, chicken liver, chicken by product and chicken broth for allergies.  Dogs can be allergic to some of these but not all and at different levels of tolerance.
