Not impressed
Despite these hair tests being considered largely inaccurate by vets, we were desperate to get to the bottom of our rescue's digestive issues. We took advantage of an offer and got the basic test. It highlighted a couple of things in our dogs diet and highlighted a few things we thought were an issue. It did not however pick up issues with chicken and turkey which he definitely has. Unfortunately in the products tested they wasted time on things no dog should be having such as beer and only tested 2 fruits and 3veg... Not covering majority of ingredients in many commercial dog foods and treats. We removed all concern items but did not get a huge improvement, so thought we would do the comprehensive testing. At no point did it say you should wait a certain amount of time between tests as the machine 'will remember you and test differently' which is the excuse I got when the new results arrived and things that were green on the first test were red on the second and vice versa. I could have accepted due to changing the sensitivity levels of test, that yellow items could become red or vice versa but not go from green to red or red to green. Again more stuff that should not be tested due to dogs should not be fed them and by putting them on the test it encourages owners to let their dogs have these things such as alcohols, table sauces etc Again this second test did not flag up chicken and turkey which we know is an issue. I complained and was refunded for both tests. However I also asked a large number of questions regarding results and how one one test Oats are green, ground Oats are green and oatmeal was red. Now in the UK oatmeal and ground Oats are the same thing. This one I did get an answer after several emails complaining they hadn't answered my questions, but the other questions remained unanswered. I would not say the results are completely inaccurate, but they definitely are not wholey accurate and our boy still has issues even though he is only having items shown as green in both tests. If I was going to get further tests in future I would find an alternative company
