What is the Pet Intolerances & Imbalances Test

The Pet Intolerances & Imbalances Test is a comprehensive, non-invasive hair analysis kit designed to help pet owners identify dietary, environmental, and nutritional factors that may be impacting their pet’s wellbeing. Through bioresonance scanning of 466+ items, the test evaluates sensitivities to food groups (like proteins, grains, and dairy), environmental triggers (such as fabrics, molds, and grasses), heavy metals, and key vitamins and minerals.
