Your Dog's Gut Microbiome
Your dog’s gut offers billions of data points.
Microbiome testing transforms those data points into an evidence-based action plan.
Microbiome testing allows for targeted intervention
By evaluating three critical elements of a healthy gut
Diversity
A healthy variety of the right microbes
Stability
Resilience despite challenges or changes
Understanding each element helps identify specific next steps to improve your dog’s health.
THE VALUE OF GUT TESTING
Gain clarity from testing before and after an intervention.
Each sample enhances the picture of your dog’s gut health.
Chronic digestive issues are unpredictable by nature, and relying on trial and error slows progress. A deeper understanding of your dog’s microbiome reduces the guesswork and helps you make more informed decisions.

The Importance of Tracking Changes
Every dog is unique—and so is their microbiome. Understanding how a dietary or supplement change impacts your dog’s microbiome is critical for accurately evaluating effectiveness and next steps.
How It Works
- Collect a baseline sample
- Initiate the change
- Retest after 2–3 months
- Review and adjust
