They do not provide any independent testing, no peer reviewed studies, zilch. <br /><br />Available literature on allergies does not show that hair or saliva can indicate allergies. So if the did come up with a new assay to detect allergic reactions it would be pretty big no? They should at least explain the core science. The fact that they do not (also coupled with user reviews that show very similar results for different animals) makes it very suspect.<br /><br />It's founded by some guy in Vegas who has no science background, the sample collection kit it hokey. <br /><br />I just have a feeling that the results are basically created by what essentially is a random number generator. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-22341132189658191582014-12-04T18:36:40.023-06:002014-12-04T18:36:40.023-06:00Hmmm I see what you're saying, and yes you cou...Hmmm I see what you're saying, and yes you could easily find those answers for typical pet allergies by searching online. This test tells you exactly WHAT is in your pet's body at high levels so that you can try removing it to see if it helps with allergies.

All the "general" information, which you can get from googling typical pet allergies, and many on the list are redundant (cottage cheese, yogurt and whey are all dairy!). Another post mentioned toxic ear cleaner, and I wanted to mention pyrethrin as the possible culprit. It's a pesticide derived from Chrysanthemums, and I think is ok for environmental use, but should not be used on/in cats. It is in many ear mite treatment products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-67085519231435784282014-09-27T01:06:16.379-05:002014-09-27T01:06:16.379-05:00Yoda and I nominated your blog for an award!

Only those expensive fancy ones can do that. BUT it does give you some ideas on things that you could be allergic to so that you can try removing them from your environment. It takes some of the guess work out of it dealing with allergies. The price is pretty good considering the alternative.

TW would LOVE to know what I’m alergic to although we don’t think a swatch of fur and bit of saliva would tell the whole story. Even though I get combed and don’t go out, I scratch a lot and sneeze sometimes. TW has decided I’m allergic to something in my Taste of the Wild because I always sneeze when I eat that. She’d also like to know what I’m allergic outside that gives me asthma attacks cos she’s tired of having the windows shut all year around so she may try this if’n it isn’t too expensive.Cathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-60852610731134662602014-09-19T02:05:29.893-05:002014-09-19T02:05:29.893-05:00Wow, I've never heard of such a harsh ear solu...Wow, I've never heard of such a harsh ear solution before. Now I'm curious about what it was. Interesting about the pea allergy as well, but that happens more than you might think. I once knew a dog who was put on a fish oil supplement and diet for his skin. He was finally tested and it turned out that he was allergic to fish, go figure. Allergies are definitely a pain to deal with. I'm sure you know this already, but itching around the neck could be from a collar. I think if you can afford the definitive allergy tests, it would be great. But I know that's not always an option for everyone, which is why this test seems nice. Thanks for sharing your story with us and I'm glad you found this useful.

Last ...Thanks for the info; I bookmarked the link.<br /><br />Last year I had one of my cats allergy tested at the vet. I was feeding him a limited ingredient diet that included green peas; he was allergic to green peas. His symptoms were excessive licking (he was bald in many spots) and horrible ear-itching (ears stayed dirty inside); they stopped after I changed his diet. <br /><br />Prior to this, my local vet had me clean his ears with a solution that ended up being toxic to cats! When he started losing weight he had a bad liver, according to tests. My holistic vet was able to get his liver back to where it needed to be, but he continued to decline. <br /><br />I spent thousands of dollars on him in a little over a year, but he finally died of cancer in May. It's highly likely that the ear wash killed him (I'd been using it for about a year prior to my holistic vet telling me to stop). Had I had him allergy tested earlier, I could have eliminated the licking/itching and avoided the ear wash; he might still be alive today. (My holistic vet is a 2-3 hour drive each way, which is why I was using a regular vet that was local to me).<br /><br />I have two cats who desperately need to be allergy tested and have been wondering when I'd get it done. One has asthma and almost died earlier this year; I finally found a food that he can tolerate (doesn't make him vomit or give him breathing problems), but the other cat is getting itchy sores around his neck from eating it. My number one concern is the asthmatic one, but I want to find a food that they can both handle. I'm going to seriously consider ImmuneIQ, because it's so much more affordable.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359275615846149201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-45079722424902368832014-09-18T19:44:42.147-05:002014-09-18T19:44:42.147-05:00Hope you're able to figure it out Melissa!Hope you're able to figure it out Melissa!
