A review mentioned that you needed hair 1 inch long, my dog has short hair, shorter than 1 inch. Can I still use this test?

Hello! You are welcome to still submit hair sample, we just ask for more individual pieces! So try to provide us a decent quantity <3

Does it test for food allergies. Is it real like some companies just put in fake results?

5Strands does test for food intolerances, which are imbalances in our pets diet or environment. These imbalances exhibit in symptoms such as hot spots, upset stomach, biting paws, constant scratching, etc. 5Strands does not test for immune system responses known as true allergies which require immediate medical action.

the card inside the test asks for an order # to process- is that the amazon order # or the little # on the barcode on the outside of the box??

Don't worry that is just asking for your Amazon Order # so that we can confirm valid purchase upon arrival of your sample! We will email you once we receive your sample successfully!

Will it test for a chicken allergy?

Yes…in fact it tests for chicken, chicken meal, chicken heart, chicken fat, chicken liver, chicken by product and chicken broth for allergies. Dogs can be allergic to some of these but not all and at different levels of tolerance.
