Is your dog constantly itching, scratching, or suffering with tummy troubles?

If you’re considering a dog allergy test, here’s what you need to know first

Q. How much does a dog allergy test cost in the UK?  

Allergy testing for dogs can vary widely in price. Vet-administered allergy tests (like blood tests) can cost hundreds of pounds, depending on the type of test and consultation fees. These tests usually involve a vet visit and may include injections or blood draws.

As a more affordable first step, many pet owners start with an at-home intolerance test, which helps identify potential sensitivities to common foods and environmental factors. Our 5-star rated intolerance test costs just £39.99, and includes testing for 400 items plus bonus vitamin and mineral analysis.

Q. Is this a pet allergy test?  

No - this is an intolerance test which uses bioresonance technology to analyse a small hair sample. We test for 400 food and environmental items, plus vitamin and mineral imbalances, to help highlight potential food and environmental triggers that may be contributing to your dog’s symptoms. While it’s not a replacement for dog allergy blood testing, intolerance testing can be a helpful first step - especially for dogs with chronic itching, gut issues, or skin flare-ups. This is not a medical diagnosis, but a practical tool to help guide diet and environmental changes.

Q. Why would I choose an intolerance test over an allergy test?

Because it’s a simple, non-invasive way to start narrowing down possible triggers before committing to more expensive or invasive testing. Many dog owners use intolerance testing to narrow down likely triggers.

It’s particularly useful for:

• Dogs with ongoing but non-emergency symptoms (itching, licking, bloating, etc.)
• Owners who want to trial a new food or exclusion diet with more confidence
• Situations where a full vet workup isn’t financially or practically possible.

We’re proud to offer a simple, non-invasive alternative to expensive vet testing - with fast results and clear next steps, you can start making practical changes with confidence.

Q. How does the test work?
Our award winning lab uses hair-based bioresonance. Bioresonance is a non-invasive technology that measures the energetic frequencies emitted by hair or fur samples. Every substance - whether food, environmental trigger, or nutrient, has its own unique frequency. When a sample is tested against hundreds of these frequencies using specialised equipment. It identifies patterns that may indicate sensitivities to certain foods or environmental factors

Q. Are at home dog allergy tests accurate?

At-home intolerance tests are not a replacement for veterinary allergy testing, but they can provide useful insight into possible food and environmental sensitivities. Our test uses bioresonance hair analysis, a method that’s been used for years within holistic health and veterinary practices. While no test can guarantee 100% accuracy, our results provide useful guidance to help you identify food and environmental sensitivities that may be affecting your dog.

Many customers report improvements after making changes based on their results, although outcomes can vary.

Q. What’s the difference between allergies and intolerances in dogs?

This is one of the most common (and important) questions we’re asked.

Dog Allergies = Immune Reaction. Symptoms are usually quick and severe: rashes, swelling, sore eyes, even anaphylaxis.
Intolerances = Digestive or Sensory Sensitivities. Symptoms build over time: itchy skin, bloating, licking paws, mood changes.

Dog food intolerances (or sensitivities) are much more common - and often harder to detect. They don’t involve the immune system, but instead affect your dog’s ability to digest or tolerate certain ingredients. Symptoms often build slowly over time and can include:

• Itchy skin
• Upset tummy
• Licking paws
• Sore ears
• Bloating or gas
• Mood changes

Our test identifies these non-immune-based sensitivities using a small hair sample - helping you identify and remove potential problem foods.

Q. Are there reviews for your dog hair strand intolerance test?

Yes - we’ve had fantastic feedback from dog owners who’ve used our at-home intolerance test based on a small sample of your dog’s hair (just 5–7 strands needed). Many owners report improvements in their dog’s itching, digestion, and overall comfort after following the personalised action guide provided with their results.

You can read our latest reviews on our products pages - including stories from customers who were sceptical at first but now wouldn’t be without it.

Q. How long does it take to get the test results?

Once your pet’s hair sample reaches our laboratory, we aim to send your results within 24-72 hours. You’ll receive your full report (plus your free action guide) via email - no waiting around or delays.

Q. Can short-haired dogs be tested?

Yes, absolutely. Our intolerance test works just as well for short-haired breeds - including Staffies, Vizslas, French Bulldogs, and more.

You only need to collect 5–7 strands of hair, and this can be done using a grooming brush or fine-tooth comb. The hair around the neck is often the easiest place to collect from.

Q. Does the hair need to come from the root?

No - we don’t require hair to be pulled from the root. However, collecting hair from or close to the root can help improve sample quality. For pets, we recommend brushing the hair near the neck using a grooming brush (like a Zoom Groom) or a flea/nit comb to collect your 5–7 strands.
