NutriScan For Food Intolerance Testing; Dr. W. Jean Dodds
- Tests
NutriScan is a saliva-based diagnostic test designed to identify food sensitivities and intolerances in dogs and cats. Developed by Dr. W. Jean Dodds, this test measures IgA and IgM antibodies to 24 common food antigens, including beef, chicken, corn, wheat, soy, and more. High antibody levels indicate a sensitivity or intolerance, which can manifest as itchy skin, gastrointestinal issues, or inflammatory bowel disease. By pinpointing specific food triggers, NutriScan enables pet owners and veterinarians to tailor diets that promote optimal health and well-being. The test is non-invasive, requiring only a saliva sample, and results are typically available within two weeks.
