Understand What Is Happening in Your Dog’s Gut

Digestive symptoms in dogs can have many possible causes. Parasites, infections, microbial imbalance, yeast, harmful bacteria or reduced gut diversity may all affect how the gut works.

This test gives a broader picture of your dog’s intestinal environment and may be especially useful when symptoms are recurring, unclear or difficult to connect to one specific cause.

Fusobacteriota (formerly Fusobacteria)

Canine Firmicutes

Canine Proteobacteria

Actinomycetota (formerly Actinobacteria)

Verrucomicrobiota (formerly Verrucomicrobia)

Euryarchaeota

Bacteroidota (formerly Bacteroidetes)

Microbial Diversity and Balance

Good way to check for parasites without a clinic visit, though the results took a few days longer than expected. Overall happy with the data provided.

Fast delivery and the results were easy to understand.

The kit arrived quickly and the instructions were very straightforward. Our vet found the detailed breakdown of the microbiome helpful for adjusting her diet.

Really in-depth analysis! It took a while to get the results (almost three weeks for me), but the amount of information about the dog's gut flora was impressive. Good that you get to see both parasites and the bacterial balance at the same time. The instructions for collecting the sample were clear enough even for an amateur.
Smooth test. Nice not to have to go to the clinic for a first check when the dog is a bit out of balance. Plus for quick support when I had questions about the mailing process.

How is this different from a rapid parasite test?

A rapid parasite test usually checks for one or a few specific parasites. This laboratory test provides a broader gut health overview and includes microbiome composition, diversity markers and multiple microorganism groups.

Can this test help if my dog has recurring diarrhoea or loose stools?

Yes. Recurring diarrhoea, loose stools, gas, bloating or appetite changes can have several causes. This test can help identify whether gut imbalance, parasites or other microorganisms may be involved.

Can gut imbalance affect more than digestion?

Yes. The gut microbiome can influence digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function and overall wellbeing. This is why a broader gut health analysis can provide useful context when symptoms are ongoing.

Does my dog need to have symptoms to take this test?

No. The test can also be used to get a broader picture of your dog’s gut health even when symptoms are mild, intermittent or unclear. It may be useful when you want more insight into the intestinal environment and microbiome balance.

Can this test detect parasites as well as bacteria and yeast?

Yes. The test analyses a broad range of gut-related markers, including parasites, bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungi and microbiome-related findings. This gives a more comprehensive overview than a test that focuses on only one type of microorganism.

Is this test useful after repeated digestive problems?

Yes. If your dog has had recurring digestive issues, the test may help identify patterns related to parasites, microbial imbalance or other gut-related findings that could be relevant to ongoing symptoms.

Can diet affect my dog’s gut microbiome?

Yes. Diet is one of several factors that can influence the gut microbiome and digestive environment. The results can provide useful context when reviewing your dog’s diet and other lifestyle factors.

What should I do if the test finds an abnormal result?

The report can help you understand which findings were detected and whether they may be relevant to your dog’s digestive health. If results are unexpected, significant or your dog has ongoing symptoms, it is advisable to discuss them with a veterinarian.
