Understanding Bioenergetic Testing for Pets

What if your pet could tell you exactly how they’re feeling? Maybe they’d mention that itchy spot that never seems to go away, the tummy troubles from food intolerances, or the joint pain that’s made their zoomies a thing of the past. 

While they can’t speak our language, their bodies always send signals through movement, behavior, and even energy. That’s where bioenergetic testing comes in! It’s a way to tune into those signals, offering a deeper look at stressors and imbalances that could be affecting their well-being.

What Is Bioenergetics?

Bioenergetics is the study of energy flow in living organisms. Every cell in the body, whether human or pet, vibrates at specific frequencies, and when something is off, it can disrupt those frequencies and become imbalanced. A bioenergetic scan can help find these energetic imbalances so we can take steps to help clear them!

Bioenergetics helps connect the dots from a holistic perspective, even encompassing emotions, whereas traditional approaches may focus solely on physical symptoms or blood levels. Think of bioenergetics as looking at your pet’s body from all layers:

• Physical: Understanding the energetic makeup of tissues and organs. The physical level of your pet’s body refers to their tangible, material aspect—the organs, tissues, cells, bones, muscles, and all the structures that make up their body. It’s the most outward, visible layer we see, touch, and smell daily!
  
  This level is the foundation for all the other levels (emotional, mental, and even spiritual) because it is grounded in the physical body. When your pet’s physical body is healthy, it supports its overall well-being. 

• Emotional: Identifying imbalances caused by emotional stress or trauma. Your pet’s emotional level of health refers to areas that process and hold emotions and experiences. The energetic body is often described as a subtle energy layer that influences how a living thing responds to the outer world. This level is deeply connected to your pet’s physical well-being.

 

Positive emotions like joy and love create a sense of lightness and flow in your pet. In contrast, negative emotions such as anger, fear, or sadness can create tension or stagnation in your pet. These emotional energies are believed to affect physical health and overall vitality.

Bottom line: just like humans, emotions don’t just pass through your dog or cat—they can become stored in their body when they are not processed or fully expressed. Over time, these unresolved emotions may manifest as physical symptoms or discomfort. For example, chronic anxiety can lead to tension in the stomach, which may show up as digestive issues.

• Energetic: Examining overall energy flow throughout the body. For centuries, many cultures worldwide have understood the body as more than just physical—it’s a dynamic flow of energy through pathways. 

The holistic approach of bioenergetics allows you to see beyond physical symptoms like joint pain and uncover underlying energetic imbalances. This concept isn’t new. Traditional healing systems have recognized that the body operates through an intricate energy network for centuries. 

Ancient Chinese medicine describes energy as Qi (Chi) flowing through meridians, while Ayurveda refers to Prana, the vital life force that sustains health. These systems understood that imbalances in energy flow could lead to discomfort and illness long before modern science could measure it.

Homeopathy is another practice based on the vital force—an invisible energy that governs the health of the body. It is the life energy that animates your pet! 

Bioenergetic testing’s origins date back to the 1940s, when Dr. Reinhold Voll, a pioneering acupuncturist, made a groundbreaking discovery. He found that environmental factors—such as toxins, diet, and stress—could disrupt energy flow. Dr. Voll developed electroacupuncture (EAV), also called electrodermal testing, which uses specialized equipment to measure the body’s energy pathways.

After consulting with other doctors, Dr. Voll found that, in some cases, energy flow could be restored through certain lifestyle changes such as diet, supplements, homeopathy, and exercise. Dr. Voll’s innovations laid the foundation for modern bioenergetic testing, which has since evolved into a widely practiced method for assessing and supporting holistic health. 

Today, bioenergetics is supported by advances in quantum biology, biophysics, and energy medicine, with research showing that living beings communicate through electromagnetic fields and subtle energy exchanges. Scientists now recognize that the body is a collection of biochemical reactions and an energetic system that interacts with its environment.

How Does Bioenergetics Relate to Your Pet?

Like humans, animals are energetic beings. Their bodies communicate imbalances through shifts in their energy fields, which can translate into physical discomfort, such as pain, behavioral changes, or subtle signs that something isn’t quite right. A bioenergetic scan can help pinpoint these imbalances, offering a noninvasive way to assess their well-being and take steps to support them naturally.

At PetMedella, we’ve created noninvasive home health tests that use your pet’s hair and saliva samples to identify subtle energetic stress that may be causing imbalances in its energetic body, namely, its organ systems. This stress can lead to imbalances that might impact nutrition, food sensitivities, emotions, hormones, or even environmental toxins.

How Bioenergetic Testing Works

The cells in our bodies store an immense amount of information. Just about everything you and your pet encounter daily, including toxins, emotions, and viruses, is stored within the cells. These environmental factors can affect energetic pathways and overall quality of life. 

Everything is energy! Even something as small as a bacterial or viral cell is made up of atoms, which are made up of even smaller particles that carry a charge. Our proprietary bioenergetic testing analyzes these energetic patterns and creates a detailed report of stress levels in 14 body systems, along with other imbalances or stressors that affect the body systems and the points within. 

Note: Veterinary care is invaluable. Traditional tests focus on structural issues, which can be seen in bloodwork, X-rays, or physical exams. Bioenergetic testing is not meant to replace this care but to complement it. 

What Can Bioenergetic Testing Show About Your Pet’s Wellness?

Through this non-invasive scan, bioenergetic testing can highlight:

• Nutritional Deficiencies – Is your pet’s imbalances in key vitamins, minerals, or amino acids? These are often linked to stress in digestion or environmental toxins.
• Food Sensitivities – Are certain ingredients causing bioenergetic intolerances or digestive upset?
• Toxin Exposure – Is your pet picking up environmental toxins from their food, water, or surroundings?
• Organ and System Imbalances – Are certain organs or body systems under stress and in need of extra support?

Collecting Your Pet’s Hair and Saliva Sample

Getting a sample from your pet is quick and easy! To collect saliva, you would simply use the provided swab to gently rub along the pet’s cheeks and under its tongue. To collect hair, you can either brush the pet and collect loose strands or trim a small sample.

If your pet doesn’t have much hair, nail clippings work too! Just place the samples in the labeled baggie or vial, and you’re all set. No stress, no fuss—just a simple way to tap into your pet’s energetic health.

Why Hair (Fur) and Saliva?

Your pet’s fur and saliva hold a treasure trove of information about their health! As their fur grows, it picks up signals from their body, absorbing nutrients, toxins, and stressors along the way. This means each strand carries a unique story about your pet’s energetic patterns and overall well-being.

Just like no two pets are alike, their fur samples are also completely unique, reflecting their individual energy balance and environment. Saliva also plays a big role. It carries its own energetic signals that help reveal imbalances related to food sensitivities, environmental toxins, and even hormonal shifts.

Testing our pets is so similar to testing humans! CBH Energetics has a walkthrough of a Full Scan, which we offer for pets as well. This scan provides a detailed look into your pet’s energetic health, helping identify stressors and imbalances that may not show up in traditional veterinary tests.
