You will need to take 3 to 4 drops of blood from your animal, we recommend to ask your veterinarian concerning this. Drip 3 to 4 drops of blood onto the special treated filterpaper which is concluded in the test kit box.

The measured fatty acid profile is used to evaluate the pets diet related to risk of developing chronic inflammation below the percieved treshold of pain. Silent inflammation below the treshold of percieved pain is not a disease, but an indication that lifestyle problems may develope. The report also provides dietary advise that may contribute to prevent a negative development.
