About This

• PET NUTRIENT ABSORPTION & FOOD & ENVIRONMENTAL INSIGHT. This pairing helps you see how well your dog or cat may be absorbing essential nutrients and how their body responds to both foods and common exposures. Understanding these together gives you actionable clarity for diet, environment, and overall comfort.
• UNCOVER PET NUTRIENT ABSORPTION GAPS. The Pet Nutrition Test measures how your dog or cat may be absorbing and using key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids. Seeing where absorption gaps exist gives you clearer direction for smarter feeding and supplemental support.
• PET FOOD INTOLERANCE GUIDANCE. The Pet Food & Environmental Intolerance Test evaluates how your pet’s system responds to common food ingredients like proteins, grains, dairy, and fats. Your results help you identify foods that may be associated with digestive stress so you can build a practical feeding plan.
• CLARIFY PET ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITIES. The same Pet Food & Environmental Intolerance Test also screens for common environmental exposures such as fabrics, dust, cleaners, lawn chemicals, molds, and outdoor elements. Knowing these sensitivity response levels helps you make thoughtful adjustments at home and outdoors.
• TRUSTED BY OVER 450,000 PEOPLE & PETS. Every sample goes through a double-pass validation process in our certified U.S. lab to help ensure consistent results.
