• Recognizing the interconnectedness of human and pet health, Five Strands offers comprehensive testing solutions for both people and their furry companions.

"As a pet parent, it's wanting to give your pet a voice and just wanting them to live a longer and happier kind of life because they can't speak. They can't tell you how they feel about the food that you're feeding them or the bed that they're sleeping in.” — Austin Collins
