Why Are We Interested In Healthy Pet Poop?
There are trillions of bacteria and other important microbes that live along the intestinal tracts of healthy pets. These microorganisms play a critical role in an animal’s overall health, from nutrient absorption to immune function to disease prevention.
There are many health conditions that are related to an imbalance in the gut bacteria in cats and dogs. And these conditions are quite common, too! About one in three pets suffers from digestive or skin-related symptoms that could be improved by restoring healthy gut bacteria. They can result in symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and itchy skin.
A healthy community of gut bacteria can be transferred to a sick recipient through a fecal transplant, which we can do through an easy-to-administer pill. We need healthy poop from healthy donors to create safe fecal transplants for pets dealing with these troublesome symptoms. Learn more about our science and fecal transplants here.
