Why can your cat have Intolerances?
If your cat is showing unexplained symptoms, it’s possible they may be suffering from an intolerance. Just like humans, cats can have sensitivities to certain foods or environmental elements—and these intolerances often go undiagnosed.
While food is a common trigger, other everyday items like wool, dust, and artificial allergens found in your home and environment can also cause adverse reactions. These sensitivities may lead to chronic discomfort and prevent your cat from living its healthiest life.
Identifying and managing these intolerances can significantly improve your cat’s quality of life, helping them feel better, act more like themselves, and enjoy greater comfort day to day.
143 food and 47 non-food items tested
Find out if your cat is reacting to specific items—whether food-related or artificial—that could be triggering discomfort or health issues. The Cat Sensitivity Test analyzes a total of 143 food items and 47 non-food items, including common triggers like milk, dates, dust, and more.
The results will clearly identify which substances are likely causing an adverse reaction in your cat and should be avoided for better health and comfort.
Cat Food Items Tested Include:
Milk and dairy products
Grains such as wheat, corn, and rice
Common proteins like chicken, beef, lamb, and fish
Fruits including apples, bananas, and dates
Vegetables such as carrots, peas, and potatoes
Additives and preservatives commonly found in pet food
This test helps you make more informed decisions about your cat’s diet and environment—paving the way for improved health and wellbeing.

Why you should test your cat for any sensitivity and intolerances?
Just like humans, cats can suffer from reactions that may lead to serious health issues. Some symptoms are easier to spot—such as skin rashes, vomiting, or diarrhea—often linked to food intolerances. However, reactions to environmental allergens can be much harder to detect.
Cats may experience discomfort in more subtle ways, such as changes in behavior or mood. Because they often hide pain or distress, your feline might be feeling miserable without showing obvious signs. Identifying and eliminating the cause of these reactions can make a significant difference in your cat’s health, happiness, and overall quality of life.
Sample report
Once your cat’s sample is received at the laboratory, results will be ready within 3 to 5 business days.
The report will provide detailed insights into any intolerances your cat may have to the tested food and non-food items. It will also include a comprehensive guide on how to eliminate or avoid potential triggers in your cat’s diet and environment—helping you make informed changes to improve their health and comfort.
How is the sample collection process?
The laboratory requires only a small sample of your cat’s fur to perform the analysis. This is a self-collection process, so no testing kit will be sent to you. Please follow the instructions carefully to ensure your sample can be analyzed:
You may use fur from any part of your cat’s body
Ideally, include the root of the fur; if not possible, cut as close to the root as you can
If the fur is longer than one inch, only 5 individual strands are needed
Place the fur sample in a small sealable bag, keeping it dry and secure
Do not use metallic packaging such as foil to store or send the sample
Put the sealed bag in a secure envelope or postage wallet and send it to the address provided
Following these steps correctly will help ensure accurate testing and faster processing of your cat’s results.
Treatment of intolerances in Cats
Once you receive the sample report, it will clearly identify the types of allergens your cat is intolerant to. In some cases, managing these intolerances may require veterinary treatment, while in others, a simple change in your cat’s diet or environment may be enough to improve their well-being.
Although the report includes a detailed guide to help you eliminate or manage potential triggers, we strongly recommend reviewing the results with your veterinarian. Together, you can determine the best course of action to ensure your cat stays healthy, happy, and comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an allergy and intolerance in cats?
An allergy in cats is typically a more severe immune system response and usually triggers immediate symptoms. In contrast, an intolerance is generally less severe and does not involve the immune system. Symptoms of an intolerance can appear anywhere from 10 minutes to 48 hours after consuming the offending item.
What is a food allergy in cats?
A food allergy is an immune reaction to a particular food protein. When a cat has a food allergy, its immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless protein as a threat and reacts against it. Food allergies are less common than food intolerances in cats.
What is food intolerance in cats?
Food intolerance is a non-immunologic reaction to a food item. For example, if your cat vomits after eating, it may be due to a food intolerance. Because intolerances and allergies can show similar symptoms, it’s best to consult a veterinarian to determine the exact cause.
Is there a minimum age for testing?
Yes. The test is recommended for cats that are at least 6 months old and are eating full adult meals.
Do medications affect the results of the cat test?
In most cases, medications do not affect the results of the test, since it is not blood-based. However, if your cat is on a specific drug and you’re concerned, feel free to contact us, and we’ll check with the laboratory directly.
