Generic, potentially dangerous advice, don't trust
Contradictory results and unsafe food advice I bought the Advanced Pet Sensitivity Test for my two miniature dachshunds. Reading the reports side by side, I lost all confidence in the results. Most concerning: both reports say my dogs can "eat freely" from their no-reactivity lists, which include onion, garlic, raisins and macadamia nuts. These are all toxic to dogs. The results also contradict themselves. One dog's report says vitamin B6 is "highly outside range" while pyridoxine hydrochloride (the same vitamin) is fine. The other dog's report says the exact reverse. Both dogs, tested by different technicians, came back with an identical list of eight pork items, with the same single exception. Essential nutrients like iron, magnesium and phosphorus are listed as things to remove from their diets. The reports also read as if they were written for humans, advising me to cut my dogs' caffeine, alcohol and nicotine and to check their lipstick and foundation. Template placeholder text was still in the documents. The test uses bioresonance, which isn't recognised by vets as a valid diagnostic method. If your dog has symptoms, I'd recommend speaking to your vet about a proper elimination trial instead.
Response from My Pet SensitivityOct 8, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that the reports have left you feeling concerned and that you’ve lost confidence in the results. I completely understand your concern regarding the foods you’ve mentioned. Our Pet Sensitivity Test is a bioresonance-based sensitivity screening and is not intended to determine whether a food is safe for a dog to eat from a veterinary or nutritional perspective. A “no reactivity” result should therefore never be taken to mean that a food is safe or appropriate to feed, particularly where a food is already known to be toxic to dogs. Foods such as onions, garlic, raisins and macadamia nuts should always be avoided regardless of what appears on a sensitivity report. The same applies to essential nutrients. The report is not intended to recommend removing essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium or phosphorus from a dog's diet without veterinary guidance. We would always recommend discussing any significant dietary changes with your vet. Regarding vitamin B6 and pyridoxine hydrochloride, B6 is an umbrella term for a group of related forms of vitamin B6, and pyridoxine hydrochloride is one particular form of B6. Therefore, seeing a result for vitamin B6 and a separate result for pyridoxine hydrochloride does not necessarily mean the results are contradictory. It may simply be that the specific form of B6 represented by pyridoxine hydrochloride is not the one showing a result outside the optimal range. You are absolutely right that our sensitivity testing should not replace veterinary care or a properly supervised elimination diet where a dog is experiencing symptoms. Our reports are intended as a complementary sensitivity screening tool and should be used alongside, rather than instead of, advice from your vet. We have also requested your details so that we can reach out to you directly and look into the reports and the concerns you've raised in more detail. We genuinely appreciate the detailed feedback, as it helps us identify areas where the reports and guidance can be made clearer and more appropriate for pet owners.
