Puppies are full of energy, curiosity and chaos. While most owners expect the odd upset stomach or itchy ear, these small signs can actually hint at underlying intolerances. Just like people, dogs often react to certain foods or environmental triggers and these reactions often begin when they’re young.
An early intolerance screening helps you understand what your puppy’s body can and can’t comfortably process, setting them up for a lifetime of better health and fewer vet visits.
1. Start with a clean slate
Your puppy’s gut and immune system are still developing. Exposing them to foods or ingredients that don’t agree with them can lead to unnecessary stress, inflammation, and discomfort. An early intolerance screen helps you identify potential irritants before they become long-term problems.
2. Avoid the guessing game
When your pup has soft stools, red paws, or occasional vomiting, it’s easy to blame teething or a “dodgy treat.” But if the same symptoms keep reappearing, there may be more to it. Our test helps you rule out common triggers, like certain proteins, grains, or additives, so you can adjust their diet with confidence.
3. Build the right foundation
The first 12 months of a dog’s life are critical for growth and learning. Getting nutrition right in this stage can improve coat health, digestion, and even behaviour. The Paw Print Health Complete Intolerance Screening gives you insights into over 470 potential food and environmental sensitivities, a powerful foundation for choosing the best diet and care routine from day one.
4. Save money (and stress) later
Many adult dogs that develop chronic issues, itchy skin, recurrent ear infections, tummy troubles, show early warning signs as puppies. Addressing those patterns early can reduce vet visits, costly trial-and-error diets, and long-term health complications.
5. Knowledge means peace of mind
You don’t need to wait for a problem to take action. Our goal is proactive care, helping you understand your dog better so you can make smarter, more confident decisions.
