IBS, Diarrhea, Vomiting & Constipation – Inflammation Test Kit for Dogs & Cats – Fast, Non-Invasive Pet Testing – Vet Trusted Easy at-Home Stool Test

Interesting concept
Updated review: I upgraded to 5 stars because this is a company who truly cares about its product and its customers.I did receive a response to my questions regarding the results, as well as a direct response to my concerns.It’s not often you find a company who has not only a person to connect with, but a person who makes sure the customers concerns are addressed.My dog has been suffering from severe itchiness for years. I was excited when I found this test hoping that it might give us the missing answers as to what’s causing his issues.I bought the comprehensive test which was quite expensive, but I was hopeful for comprehensive results and excited by all the positive reviews.The product shipped quickly. Directions were clear and easy to follow.They included only one glove to collect the sample, so I used another glove from home. I mailed the test and sample back the next day.It took about two weeks before I saw results. I eagerly logged on and was disappointed.Each ‘test’ in the comprehensive kit tests for two markers, so I had 6 results to browse.My dog tested highest with a gluten allergy, and this is where the company lost me. We had an allergy test done over a year ago, which showed many food allergies – including to oats and wheat. We hired an animal nutritionist and pulled any form of gluten from his diet. My dog is raw fed with grass fed beef from BJ’s, and his food is supplemented with raw veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, avocado). He eats nothing containing gluten and hasn’t for over a year.I emailed the company, and I was told the lead scientist would get back to me. I have not heard back, but I found this test a total waste of $300.If you’re dealing with a sick pup, I would recommend a saliva based allergy test first. That’s been the most helpful for us. We removed all foods he tested sensitive too, and it did drastically improve his condition. Unfortunately, removing those foods did not stop his itchiness, and the test from Innovative Labs gave us no further information to help us with that

neat at home testing
Got results in 3-4wks. So for example I know my dog has some weird allergy to chicken!!!!! Unfortunately this ingredient is in quite a bit of things!! It’s easy to use and everything you need including the mailer is included. This part was very straightforward. The results are very comprehensive and should be discussed with your vet.

Valuable information and excellent customer service
My dog suffers with itching and anxiety. I wanted to get to the root cause of these symptoms instead of guessing and hoping for the best.The process of collecting the test was easy and I received my results within two weeks even over the busy holidays. My dog’s results showed two irregularities that may explain his symptoms. This test was definitely worth the price because now I know where to start and that will save me so much money in the long run!Katie with customer service was amazing with follow up and any questions had. She was extremely responsive and obviously passionate about her work.I’m excited to partner with my vet to develop a targeted treatment plan based on these results. I will retest to see if we have made progress. I highly recommend this company and their testing!

So helpful for improving the gut health of my dog!
This test was so easy to use and gave me valuable insights into my dog’s gut health. We immediately made the recommended diet and lifestyle changes and can already see improvements. Thank you so much for making this wonderful product!
