I ordered the test for my blue staffy who has some allergies and skin issues. I was sceptical at first. However I had speedy test results. I sent my sample off on the Monday (1st class signed for) and I received the results by Friday afternoon. The online chat team were very quick to answer any questions. Also I like to think the test results are quiet reliable as I know she has issues with beef and turkey and they both came back as 100% reactive. This has made me feel more at ease with the results and the only food I was giving her with a 100% reaction was yoghurt. I feel that this test has helped me narrow down and able to eliminate more foods I hadn't even considered. The only downfall was , the app I downloaded would not work. However it turns out I didn't need the app, and the tracking system on your main page wasn't kept up to date. when I contacted your chat team informed me the exact date and time the sample had been received.

Scam. Said test 300 items but reports only gives 49 items with silly tests like abalone, clams and galangal which one would not give to a dog. Report seems like a standard one for humans and not dogs with comments such as brittle fingernails and nausea. Then it said my dog was deficient in Vitamin D and should feed salmon but he eats salmon every day. Noticed on Trustpilot that a USA website called Pethealthathome had exactly the same website but in US$. Complete scam. Have reported to Trading standards and applied for refund through paypal despite them saying money back guarantee. They ignored my request. Dont waste your money

Not specific enough for dogs

As it is a dog test then it would be helpful to test the main ingredients in dog food such as proteins. Half the ingredients tested dogs can’t have anyway.

His test results were completely wrong

Hos test results were completely wrong . The one thong we've found he is allergic to after doing extensive Elimination tests is the one thing that wasn't listed as an allergen Total waste of money

Very few ‘dog ‘ foods given as allergies. I discovered my dog is allergic to iceberg lettuce and artichokes as such🙈

Don’t waste your money

I personally this the results given from hair isn’t an exact science, it states that the items your dogs don’t eat won’t be picked out but my dog doesn’t eat peanuts or a lot of items on the list but they were on, apparently she is an intolerance to broccoli but has no reaction to it at all! She’s allergic to chicken but it says nothing about that

A waste of your money

A waste of money. I had to chase them to get results. I doubt this was actually accurate. It did nothing for me, apart from wasted my money. I paid extra for express results, they took for ever, I had to chase them for results. They never refunded the extra I paid.. Pls go to a vet and do a serious test, this is just a waste of time

I had to chase constantly and despite paying for expediated results, it arrived no quicker than had I not bothered. At first the result appeared to be for a human as they contained food that I cannot believe a dog would ever be offered, all in all I didn’t find the results helpful

Hi Susan, thank you for your review. I am very sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the testing and service. I can see that the test sample you mailed to our lab arrived at our UK lab Friday 6th October and the results were emailed Monday 9th October, the following business day. Our priority testing service promises a 2-business day turnaround on test results, compared to our standard testing period of up to 5 business days. As your test results were emailed the following business day, they were certainly received within the promised priority testing period. Our pet test is one of the most comprehensive on the market and tests for most common pet food items, but also covers a variety of human foods that pets may unintentionally consume. If you have any further questions or queries regarding the test results, our expert and friendly team is available at info@testmypets.com to answer any questions you may have. Would you please consider amending or removing the review as it contains incorrect information? Donna Customer Service Manager

Paid for express service. Don't waste your money, they said they didn't receive until 10 day's after posting. 48 hrs service from that point should of meant receiving results by Friday but I didn't receive which meant I didn't receive results until after bank holiday weekend

Hi Mark, thank you for your review. I am very sorry to hear you're not satisfied with the service. Please be aware, mail sent with Royal Mail first-class can currently take up to 14 business days due to the effects of last year's strikes and depot closures. While these delays account for 20% of delivered mail, your sample did not arrive with our lab until the date we confirmed via email. Upon receipt at our lab, all samples are scanned in and an automatic email is sent to the customer to confirm receipt. Samples are scanned as arrived the same day they are delivered as per our accredited audit trail system. If you have any further questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact our team at info@testmypets.com and our friendly and expert team will be more than happy to assist.
