The 5Strands Pet Raw Food Intolerance Test is designed specifically for pets on raw food diets, including BARF, Ancestral, and Whole Prey Diets. With the ability to analyze over 300 raw food ingredients—such as meats, seafood, bones, fruits, vegetables, and oils—this test identifies potential intolerances that may disrupt your pet’s digestion and well-being. By pinpointing these sensitivities, the test empowers you to craft a diet perfectly aligned with your pet’s biological needs.

Dogs and cats are naturally equipped to thrive on raw diets, much like their wild ancestors. However, years of exposure to processed pet foods may have contributed to gut imbalances and sensitivities. This test uncovers how your pet interacts with raw ingredients, allowing you to address intolerances and optimize their diet for improved energy, digestion, and overall health. By eliminating problematic foods and focusing on those that support their gut microbiome, you can help your pet achieve a state of balance and vitality.

The Pet Raw Food Intolerance Test is perfect for pet parents already committed to raw feeding or those transitioning away from commercial pet foods. Whether you’re dealing with persistent symptoms like itching, digestive upset, or low energy, this test provides actionable insights to make confident and informed adjustments to your pet’s raw diet. Start your pet’s journey to natural health and well-being today!

 

The Pet Raw Food Intolerance Test focuses exclusively on the raw food ingredients commonly found in BARF, Ancestral, and Whole Prey Diets. This test is tailored to ensure your pet thrives on whole, nutrient-rich ingredients while identifying potential triggers that may cause discomfort or imbalance. Testing sensitivity to over 300 raw items, including:

Meats: Chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, venison, and other proteins commonly included in raw diets.
Seafood: Fish and shellfish like salmon, mackerel, and shrimp.
Bones: Marrow bones and other edible raw bones used for calcium and enrichment.
Fruits & Vegetables: Apples, blueberries, carrots, spinach, and other fresh produce.
Oils & Fats: Coconut oil, fish oil, and other essential dietary fats.

Collecting and sending your pet's hair sample is simple and stress-free, requiring only a few strands to unlock actionable insights about their diet. You can collect hair from any part of your pet’s body—whether brushed, cut, or gently pulled:

For longer fur (over 1 inch), collect 10–15 strands.
For shorter fur (under 1 inch), gather 20–25 strands.

No need to bathe your pet or stop medications before collecting the sample. Ensure the hair is clean and free of visible dirt or debris to avoid delays in processing. Place the sample in the provided anti-static bag, seal it securely, and use the prepaid return label to send it to 5Strands. Save your tracking number for peace of mind and sample monitoring.

Your pet’s results will be available within 5–7 business days after your hair sample arrives at our processing center. You’ll receive a comprehensive, color-coded report outlining your pet’s intolerances to raw food ingredients:

Level 3 (High Intolerance): Avoid completely for 6–8 weeks during the elimination phase.
Level 2 (Moderate Intolerance): Monitor closely and feed in rotation with caution.
Level 1 (Low Intolerance): Minimal risk, but observe any potential reactions.

Access your results via email, the 5Strands portal, or the mobile app for convenience. Use the insights to craft a balanced raw diet that minimizes discomfort and maximizes nutrient absorption. Our team is here to assist you in understanding your results and creating a sustainable plan for your pet’s health.

Every pet is unique, and their health journey deserves personalized care. The Pet Raw Food Intolerance Test uncovers the dietary triggers disrupting your pet’s natural balance, empowering you to make informed changes that align with their ancestral needs. By identifying specific sensitivities, you can create a raw diet that supports optimal digestion, energy, and vitality.

This test isn’t just about eliminating problems—it’s about giving your pet the voice they need to thrive. With the insights provided, you can take proactive steps to ensure they live a happier, healthier life, free from unnecessary discomfort and frustration.

Uncover Your Pet’s Raw Food Sensitivities

Your dog or cat does not need to be on a raw food diet to develop sensitivities to raw food items. The occasional raw fruits, veggies, and meats given as treats or mixed into their kibble can still trigger discomfort symptoms including bloating, hot spots, liquid ear discharge, and gas. This is why performing a raw food intolerance screening alongside common food items is so important for your pets, as it provides you with a complete understanding of how to tailor their diet for the best comfort and health possible.

    Pet Raw Food Test

    This is the second time I have used this test. I would highly recommend using this at least once a year, "especially" for dogs with itchy skin and intolerances to foods! Get off foods that are inflammatory to your dog as intolerances change at anytime. I have given 3 tests in total and have loved getting results in a matter of days with my dogs.

    Confusing and Contradicting

    Been feeding raw for almost a year. Our white Bull Terrier suffers from hives. We assumed it was a food allergy, and decided to have him tested through 5Strands.

    The web results are contradicting. I needed to call to a representative to explain it to me.

    The pdf results are confusing.

    How can Protein - Beef Ground (grass fed) be insignificant, but other parts of the same grass fed protein, be considered severe?

    Chicken Necks (conventionally raised) - with loads of God only knows-hormones pumped into them, is considered 'Insignificant", but Chicken Necks (free range) is a Level 2?

    Basically, my dog is allergic to everything except air and water.

    I should have just had my vet do the testing by a blood sample instead.

    Best test

    Good new test for raw foods. Found out my dog is allergic to some of the organs added to raw foods. Doing so much better now and reintroducing some things back in diet. Have to watch where you get products from.
