Next Steps

We analyzed your dog's gut sample, identifying the specific bacteria present and comparing them to a database of healthy dogs to provide actionable improvements for a healthier microbiome. Based on our analysis, here is what to focus on and how to improve your dog’s gut health.

Central Focus

Address Severe Imbalance

We identified one type of bacteria dominating the microbiome. In a healthy gut environment, the microbiome contains healthy populations of many kinds of bacteria. Each group plays their own special role and helps to keep the others in balance.

This type of imbalance can be influenced by diet, environmental exposures, underlying digestive issues, or ongoing gastrointestinal stress. If your pet is experiencing persistent or severe symptoms, we encourage you to discuss these findings with your veterinarian. Our microbiome health advisors may also help provide additional context around your pet’s results and potential next steps for microbiome support.

Recommendations

At Animal Biome, we have a uniquely deep understanding of the microbiome that allows us to develop impeccably formulated, pet-specific solutions to achieve balance and better health. Below, we’ve recommended the Animal Biome products that would be most beneficial for your pet's health.

Check if recommendations change based on current symptoms

These recommendations are based on your pet’s Bacterial Breakdown. However, since their health may have shifted since the sample was taken, please check if these recommendations change based on their current symptoms. This ensures the most accurate, personalized path to lasting wellness.

Our Microbiome Health Advisors are specially trained to collaborate with you, taking your pet’s symptoms, sensitivities, and preferences into account, to create a personalized action plan. 

Share Results with your Vet

Combine Animal Biome’s microbiome insights with the expertise of your veterinarian to develop a strategy for reducing symptoms by rebalancing the microbiome.

More Background

A significant imbalance in the microbiome is not the fault of the pet parent; it simply indicates that the gut ecosystem may be in need of more immediate support. And Animal Biome is here to help!

Why Does Your Pet Have Significant Disruptions in Core Bacteria?

Severe changes in core bacterial populations reflect a deeper disruption in the microbiome. Typically, several factors contribute to the imbalance, and it is more difficult to maintain good health.

Possible reasons

  • Antibiotic exposure: Antibiotics can kill the good bacteria along with the bad, and sometimes these changes can be long-lasting.
  • Diet and lifestyle factors: Nutrition, stress, environmental exposures, and routine changes can shift the microbiome over time.
  • Aging and long-term health stress: Early signs of reduced resilience may emerge with advanced age or prolonged stress.
  • Recent probiotic or microbial exposure: In some cases of unusually high bacterial levels, recent use of probiotic supplements, raw foods, or other microbial-containing products may temporarily influence results — particularly if these were not discontinued prior to sample collection.

Rationale for Recommendations

Based on decades of research and dozens of published studies, we’ve developed a deep understanding of what a healthy [cat/dog] microbiome looks like. We know that the microbiome plays a critical role in  long-term digestive and overall health.

Restore Balance Carefully

Based on decades of research and dozens of published studies, we’ve developed a deep understanding of what a healthy dog microbiome looks like. We know that the microbiome plays a critical role in  long-term digestive and overall health.

In a healthy microbiome, many different bacterial groups work together to maintain balance and healthy digestive function. When a single bacterial group dominates the microbiome, it reduces the stability of the microbiome and places additional strain on the pet’s overall health. 

Severe imbalances may be influenced by recent dietary sensitivities, excess probiotic supplementation, dietary exposures, or other temporary factors. However, persistent imbalances of this nature may also reflect a more substantial disruption within the microbiome — particularly when ongoing symptoms are present.

Because every pet’s situation is unique, we recommend approaching severe imbalances cautiously. Rather than relying on rapid-response interventions, we recommend a gradual and supportive approach to restoring balance and reinforcing resilience.

Gut Restore is designed to help:

  • Replenish beneficial bacteria
  • Support microbial diversity
  • Encourage a healthier, more balanced microbiome
