The Pet Food Intolerance Test covers proteins, grains, vegetables, fruits, fats, seafood, additives and preservatives. Of the 250+ items tested, the results will show only the items your pet registered an intolerance to. The intolerances are listed into 3 levels based on the response upon exposure. Utilizing the items that register a Level 3 response will create the recommended 6-8 week elimination guideline. Please try to not feed your pet any food items that were not tested for during the elimination period. You will not know how they will respond to these items. Level 2 items may be affecting the body and causing noticeable symptoms. Level 1 items are just beginning to affect the body on a cellular level. These Level 2 & Level 1 items should be consumed no more than 2-3 times per week. Once you know what food items may be causing your pet’s discomforts or intolerance symptoms (upset stomach, constant scratching, hair loss, paw biting, hot spots), you will be able to eliminate them from their diet and see if the symptoms lessen or disappear. After the 6-8 week period, you can then re-introduce an item one at a time in small quantities and see if the symptoms return. In order for you to see any results, this test requires 100% interaction. It is not always just a change from one protein source to another and switching out to a different bag of kibble. Sometimes it means that you must stop feeding your pet processed pet food/kibble and start cooking for them or feeding raw. This test is not about a quick fix that will mask the issues and give temporary relief. It is about getting to the root cause of what is creating the unwanted symptoms and fixing this issue. Our incredible customer support team is accessible via email or phone to assist with any questions along your journey. When you get your pet’s emailed results, don’t be overwhelmed, take a deep breath, and be excited to start the journey to better health.
