All Disease Begins In The Gut

Hippocrates - 400 B.C.

As Hippocrates, the father of human medicine famously said, all diesease begins in the gut. Since 2016 we've tested the gut microbiomes of over 35,000 dogs and cats and what we've found is astounding with over 80% of otherwise healthy dogs showing some sign of gut health imbalance¹ and 1 in 3 dogs showing unhealthy levels of E. coli in their gut microbiome².

What Can I Learn About My Dog From Gut Microbiome Testing?

Microbiome testing provides useful insights that no other current veterinary test can offer. If your cat or dog has digestive problems, diarrhea, itchy skin, gas, bad breath, or immune system issues, those symptoms might be related to a gut microbiome imbalance.

Find out what’s going on inside your pet’s digestive system:

Your pet’s unique microbial community

Using DNA sequencing, we identify all the types of bacteria living in your pet’s gut, giving you a detailed picture of your cat’s or dog’s unique gut microbiome.

Imbalances

If important bacteria are missing, the gut microbiome is out of balance. Identifying imbalances early allows you to make changes to your pet’s diet or lifestyle that can improve or prevent symptoms.

Your pet’s diet

Each gut microbiome is unique. Different pets need different dietary adjustments to support the growth of specific beneficial bacteria. Food recommendations based on your pet’s individual results will help you make simple changes that can improve their gut health and overall wellness.

Missing bacteria

A comparison of your pet’s results with the healthy reference set reveals whether your pet is missing any important bacterial groups. The absence may be a result of antibiotic use, diet, illness, or other factors.

Harmful bacteria

Microbiome testing can quickly identify any problematic groups of gut bacteria. These may be pathogens that don’t belong in a healthy pet’s gut or normal members of the microbiome that have grown too numerous.

Here's What Our Customers Have To Say

Good way to see inside your dog.

“Information is power, a great tool to get information on your canine's gut health. The gut affects every health system in a dog.” - Cynthia B., 4/19/2021

Product: DoggyBiome™ Gut Health Test

Wonderful!

“Just rescued a 2 year old Pointer. He was fed a HIGH carb kibble and extra rice as filler. Very, very thin. Through your test I discovered that a certain bacteria she was very low in was causing loss of weight due to the rice diet. With your invaluable information we will now be doing a fecal transplant. Thank you so much!” - Betsy D., 2/17/2021

Highly Recommended...

“It's our second round of pills. First time I could see improvement in the quality of Duke's poops but still occasionally Duke suffered from diarrhea. After that we tested his poop and we're suggested to add fiber to diet. We still did a second round of treatment. Huge improvement. Duke is on his fourth meat protein. More energy. Thanks a lot. Life changing.” - Natalya P., 1/30/2021
