Definitely worth it!

I tried Biome testing, and it was the answer to Beauji's problems. If your dog is having problem, I recommend getting in touch with Animal Biome for a test kit, it worked wonders for Beau!

Recommended by my Internal Medicine Vet.. but to tell you the truth...I was a bit skeptical

Ordered this on the recommendation the internal medicine Vet I found, after several very expensive trips to the ER with the regular ER vet and no clear diagnosis ...my doggo had some stomach acid issues that were causing ulcers in his throat, itchy skin and licking episodes. I purchased the test.. followed the recommendations of the results, which consisted of 30 days of a gut biome restore... at first I didn't think it was working but after about 2 1/2 weeks my dogs symptoms subsided and now we are just on a chew for skin and coat. I am so happy I purchased the test.. My doggo is so much happier.. the results were fantastic!

AMAZING!

Absolutely amazing! 4 Vets didn’t know what was wrong with our puppy who had chronic diarrhea for 3 months! Her Biomed sample came back with no good bacteria at all & a bad Strep bacteria in her gut. Started her on the FOS & the Gut Restore. For the first time in months she doesn’t have diarrhea multiple x’s a day! It’s a true Godsend!

Excellent product

I've done these 2 years in a row and will continue to do so. I've fed my golden, Tanner a raw food diet since we brought him home and was very surprised to find that he was deficient in so many things which contributed to his occasional runny poo and ear infections. Since making the changes that I needed, his stool is consistently normal and ear infections are a thing of "hopefully" the past. Can't recommend this product enough. The price is still less than what the vets are charging per visit these days......

It works - dog with non stop diarrhea hot spots and allergies

We are having problems with our goldi since we got her at 8 weeks. Diarrhea non stop. Than the itching started, she chewed her paws and her body raw. We were so desperate. we did the first test over a year ago and the results have been devastating. Our girl had almost no good bacteria in her gut. We started the first treatment and tested after a year again. We saw immediate improvement with the diarrhea and the itch got a bit better.The second test proofed that she has improved with her gut bacteria. We see a huge improvement now on her second round of treatment. It takes time but it is a great solution without harmful medications. Customer Service is outstanding! I cannot thank our holistic Vet enough for recommending this company to us!

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my sample includes dirt or other contaminants?

It is okay if you are not able to collect a sample that is completely free of dirt or other environmental particles, but cleaner samples can be processed more quickly. Just try your best!

What harmful bacteria (pathogens) does the Gut Health Test detect?

The DoggyBiome Gut Health Test report will measure the relative abundance of each of these types of harmful bacteria found in your dog’s sample:

  • Clostridium perfringens
  • Escherichia coli
  • Campylobacter upsaliensis
  • Clostridioides difficile
  • Salmonella enterica
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Listeria monocytogenes
  • Staphylococcus intermedius
  • Campylobacter jejuni
  • Clostridium piliforme

What beneficial bacteria does the Gut Health Test screen for and what makes them ‘beneficial’?

The DoggyBiome Gut Health Test can detect:

  • Clostridium hiranonis (Peptacetobacter hiranonis)
  • Turicibacter sanguinis
  • Faecalibacterium spp.
  • Blautia spp.
  • Fusobacterium spp.
  • Subdoligranulum spp.
  • Megasphaera spp.
  • Bifidobacterium spp.
  • Bacteroides spp.

Scientific research has identified these types of bacteria as beneficial for both gut health and host health in dogs. All gut bacteria fulfill different roles; beneficial ones can help with reducing inflammation, producing important molecules, improving immune system function, aiding in digestion and metabolism, and other important aspects of host health.

Will this test show me if my pet has a parasitic infection?

The Gut Health Test looks specifically at the bacterial microbiome, which does not include parasites like Giardia, hookworms, or roundworms.

Will this test tell me what foods my dog is allergic to?

The Gut Health Test looks at the bacteria present in the microbiome, which will not provide information on food allergies or intolerances.

What is fecal microbiome testing and what are the benefits?

Fecal microbiome testing is the process of sequencing bacterial DNA material from a small fecal sample. We can detect and identify the bacteria from your dog’s stool sample and then provide you with a comprehensive report.

 

Testing a dog’s microbiome provides insights into their health. Then imbalances in specific gut bacteria can be addressed to help alleviate such symptoms as diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and itchy skin that may be associated with some chronic health conditions.

Will my sample be safe in the mail? 

Yes, your sample is safe. The sample tubes contain a special liquid that keeps the bacteria perfectly preserved for analysis, across a very wide range of temperatures. Once inside the tube, the sample is safe for several months.

How long does it take to get my dog’s test results? 

Reports are typically sent within two weeks from when the samples arrive at our laboratory.
