This is the test to get for your pet

This gives clear indications of what your pet's triggers are. I have tried several types of dog food only to have to return them. I tried a ton of novel proteins

This gives clear indications of what your pet's triggers are. I have tried several types of dog food only to have to return them. I tried a ton of novel proteins and without any direction, it's like shooting in the dark. At least now I have a very comprehensive test result and I can load the problem items into A.I. and see what foods are more likely to work. Turns out he can not have standard add-ins for these novel proteins. I am now trying Stella & Chewy simply venison which has none of his high risk ingredients. Even probiotics that were likely causing a reaction. Hopefully we will have a step in the right direction. I bought this test as an add-on to a not so good 5Strands test. This one made it worthwhile.

This test doesn't analyze straight protein insensitivites, only by products found in dog food. It was of no use to me as I needed clearer information. I called the company and spoke with Stacey. She understood my frustration and took care of it for me without having to purchase another test. Just make sure you know what testing you need to have done, it's a little ambiguous on the packaging. Stacey deserves a raise.

The readings are hard hard to understand.

The test said my dog was allergic to chicken broth but not chicken.

Just received the results from the test and its shows my dog allergive to virtually everything that they test for. It also does not make sense that it says she is extremely allergiv to chicken but not other parts of the chicken such as chicken liver and chicken fat. It says the same thing with beef, says she is allergic to beef, but not beef liver. I gave results to my vet and was told these tests are not studied enough or accurate so I feel like it was a big waste of money and would of been better off just doing a food elimination trial. Don't recommend.

Improved my Cats Life so Much

This was a phenomenal test for a reasonable price. I’m glad I got it through chewy so I could monitor all the tracking. My cat boo has had a lot of stomach issues

This was a phenomenal test for a reasonable price. I’m glad I got it through chewy so I could monitor all the tracking. My cat boo has had a lot of stomach issues and we were having trouble pinning down what was bothering him. We took him into the vet along with the results from this test and the vet was able to help. Give us a dietary plan for my Boo. We’re avoiding fish and beef for the time being along with artificial dyes. He’s doing so much better with his skin and having much less throw up incidents.

regret sending them $$, not much help, caused more confusion.

Food & Environmental Intolerance Test seemed like it was more for humans and not animals, results for my dog, it had results for cooked food, it really should be raw foods( its for a dog) if you want to know about raw foods, that another test you can buy, environmental results really need to be focused on the trees and plants that grow in you planting zone and house plants. it like someone just threw a bunch of random things in the test, it was very difficult to read and understand. I wish I saved my money.

Nonsensical findings- dog allergic to dog dander as an example. Not allergic to chicken but allergic to chicken liver as another.
