The only pet sensitivity test we recommend. This test uses both hair and saliva samples to assess biomarkers associated with food and environmental sensitivities, giving us more information to work with than a single-sample test.
Our pet nutritionist reviews approximately 5–8 of these test results each month, and we have found them to be a valuable tool for taking some of the guesswork out of the process. Results can often help narrow down potential irritants and shave weeks—or even months—off the trial-and-error involved in an elimination diet.
It is important to view sensitivity testing as one piece of the puzzle, not a definitive diagnosis. We use the results as additional information to help establish a less-irritating base diet while investigating and addressing the underlying imbalances that may be contributing to your pet’s sensitivities.
Sensitivities and allergies are not the same thing. This test is intended to identify potential sensitivities; it does not diagnose true allergies. Allergy testing and diagnosis should be performed with your veterinarian.
Sensitivities can also change over time. As underlying imbalances improve—or new imbalances develop—your pet may become more or less reactive to certain foods or environmental exposures. For this reason, we believe the greatest value of sensitivity testing is not simply receiving a list of “yes” and “no” foods, but using the results as a tool to better understand your pet and make more informed decisions about their nutrition and long-term health.
Symptoms of Intolerances can present as;
*Repeated Ear Infections
*Yeast Overgrowth (Frito Paws and Fur Staining)
*Anal Gland Issues
*Loose or Mucousy Stool
*Inflamed Skin (Hot Spots, Itchy Red Skin, Dandruff, etc)
*Hair loss
+more
You purchase the test from us, collect your pet’s samples once you receive the kit and then use the included shipping label to send it back to the Glacier Peak lab. Your pets results should become available within 3 business days of the lab receiving your pets completed kit.
We highly recommend combining this test with our Comprehensive Guide to Food & Environmental Sensitivities in Dogs and Cats for the best results.
“The Glacier Peak Pet Intolerance Test is not a traditional dog or cat allergy test or DNA testing kit. Unlike traditional pet allergy testing, our test uses biofeedback technology with hair and saliva samples to identify intolerances and sensitivities. While many symptoms are often assumed to be allergies, true-born pet allergies are actually quite rare, with most pets experiencing food intolerances or environmental sensitivities instead.
Trusted and used by many veterinarians, your pet's personalized results are based on over 395 food and environmental factors, helping uncover potential triggers behind issues like itching, digestive upset, and skin irritation. With targeted diet changes and a few added supplements, you can support your pet’s long-term wellness and help them feel their best from the inside out.” - Glacier Peak Holistics
The Pet Intolerance Test is suitable for both dogs and cats over 6 months of age!

3 Organic Cotton Swabs
Biohazard Bag (to place hair and saliva samples in)
Return Shipping Bag
Pre-Paid Return Shipping (for customers within the United States)
HOW TO COLLECT SAMPLES
Carefully remove the swabs from the biohazard bag, only touching one end.
Swab your pet's mouth using all three at once or one at a time.
Carefully put them back in the biohazard bag with the wet end at the bottom.
Options to collect hair:
Use a clean, unused brush or comb (it’s important that the hair not be contaminated by any other pet or human).
Gently pull out a small amount of shedding hair (the size of a quarter will do).
Cut hair from the rump or chest area.
For hairless pets, make sure to get the swabs very wet with saliva from your pet's mouth. We can still run the test this way.
Put the hair and swabs in the biohazard bag and close it using the zip closure.
Place the biohazard bag into the shipping bag with the return label already attached (US only).
Please save a copy of your tracking number.
Drop off at your local Postal Office.
Note: If your test kit came with a paper intake sheet, please complete the form and send it in with your samples. We are transitioning from paper intake forms to a barcode registration.
