Is my Dog’s Gut Microbiome imbalanced?

Our modern day cute pets started off life as wolves, around 40,000 years ago. This means for more than 99% of their existence, dogs’ diets looked very different to today!

Modern day dog foods, treats, and human food contain a lot of ingredients that dogs have not been exposed to for the vast majority of their existence. Is it any wonder that their digestive system doesn’t know what to do?

What will I learn from the test?

Your dog’s microbiome is home to trillions of different bacteria. When they are balanced correctly, it is a foundation for good health. However imbalances can easily be caused by dog foods with processed ingredients, preservatives, and things that dogs wouldn’t naturally consume like gluten.

How do I take the test?

We only need a small swab from your dog’s poop. Either take the swab and collection tube on your next walk, or use a poo bag. Use the prepaid return envelope to send the sample to our laboratory and you will receive your results via email in ~3 weeks.
