Try it!

As someone who has been working in the veterinary field for 18 years, I was skeptical. Having a dog that has been diagnosed with IBD and running out of options of what we could do to help him feel better. This test is well worth the money spent. His results weren’t good news so we knew we had to fix it. With the recommendations of Animal Biome, he has never felt better! He’s finally acting like a young dog should.

Changed my dog’s life!

This test literally changed my dog’s life. We spent thousands of $$$ on vet visits, hospital stays, and recommended “tests” and “treatments” only to continue seeing him suffer in silence with bloody poop and severe stomach pain every couple of weeks. The “fecal tests” that were performed on him came back “normal” our vet said. Well, I took matters into my own hands and bought this Animal Biome test. We found out that Louis has a Clostridium Perfringens overgrowth and needed saccharomyces boulardii which we immediately bought from Animal Biome as well. It’s only been a few weeks and he feels so much better already. He hasn’t had an episode of mucusy or bloody poop, he eats all his food now and doesn’t turn his nose, and he generally feels better. I wish we would have done this test sooner! Highly highly recommend this test if you want to find out what is going on with your dog’s microbiome.

So helpful!

I tested my dog to see what her gut flora was like, she was developing allergies and had never taken antibiotics at age 6. She was missing essential flora. After giving her GMP and S Bourladii things improved! Then she got an infection, unrelated to any of this and had to go on antibiotics. I retested her and her good bacteria were wiped out! We started over with gut restore and she's normalizing. The take home message: these gut tests are accurate and the treatments work!

This was far more helpful in gaining control of my dogs symptoms than anything. The emergency vet could offer. We were behind the eight ball with my beloved service dog who passed and were unable to get a hold of his problems, but I promised him I would do it differently, if given the opportunity. Well, I’ve had the opportunity With this new dog And it’s working. I am very grateful.

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 available within two weeks from when the sample arrives at our laboratory.
