Checkpup Dog Wellness Test - Why We Love It. My dogs are my life, and when I saw Checkpup, I knew I had to try it. Developed by a team of Veterinarians and dog lovers, it gives an incredible amount of information about what's going on with your dog's health (more on that below). The best part is it's non-invasive, requiring only a small amount of hair. So no needles! It comes with a cute scale to weigh the hair, ensuring you have enough to return to the lab. It also comes with a prepaid envelope, love!!

You'll receive five in-depth wellness reports including my personal favorite the Health Action Plan. It takes two or three weeks after submitting your sample to receive your analysis. Checkpup also emails about the process along the way.

The reports included are the following:

1) Wellness Check: This report gives insights into your pup’s blood sugar handling, thyroid performance, energy levels, autonomic balance, inflammation, adrenal stress, and immune system.

2) Systems Check: This report evaluates major body systems to determine which system shows the highest likelihood of concern.

3) Metabolism + Diet: This report analyzes your dog’s oxidation rate and provides recommended diet and supplements based on their current health status and metabolism type (fast, slow or mixed oxidizers).

4) Toxic Metals: This report identifies the presence of toxic metals in your pup’s body including: Lead, Mercury, Aluminum, Cadium and Arsenic. Guidance is provided on how to mitigate and treat these toxins.

5) Health Action Plan: A breakdown of all 20 diagnostics, highlighting the most important guidance and recommendations.

It's a ton of information laid out in the simplest way possible, but the Health Action Plan tells you exactly what you need to do right now to help your dog’s overall wellness, including specific supplement guidance.

All of these reports in one simple to use at home test is really of great value and provides information I would not typically receive at a normal Vet visit if you want to learn more about Checkpup, head to their website.
