Get to know the bacteria in your dog’s gut
-
These bacteria help digest carbohydrates - but if they are too abundant, your dog is more likely to gain weight. -
Fusobacteria get their energy from amino acids and are essential for a healthy gut. However, high numbers can be linked to inflammatory bowel disease in dogs. -
Your dog needs plenty of blautia species to stay happy and healthy. These bacteria are responsible for helping dogs feel full after eating. -
These bacteria are all-round good guys. They help protect your dog against colitis, cancer, inflammation and infection. -
Peacekeepers of your dog’s digestive system, certain clostridium species can help restore harmony and defend the gut wall against attacking bacteria. -
A core member of a healthy carnivore’s gut ecosystem, megamonas are directly linked to your dog’s metabolic rate.
Frequently asked questions
-
We are testing your dog’s stool for different bacteria and creating a map of their microbiome. We look to see which bacteria are present in your dog’s biome, and whether these levels are normal, higher than normal or lower than normal.
This information will give us an idea of what is going on within their gut now, as well as what issues could arise in the future. We will then give advice on how to improve the balance and diversity of the biome to help it return to optimum health. -
Testing and treatment have the potential to help with a whole range of different health complaints. This is because the immune system is very closely associated with the gut and so any imbalance in the microbiome can influence immune system health, overall vitality and wellbeing.
Our supplement recommendations are also tailored to your individual dog, with specific ranges designed to help with gastrointestinal inflammation, joint problems, allergies and skin complaints, to name a few. -
Some pet owners like to test their dog’s microbiome to find out if the diet they are feeding is suitable for their pet, and whether they are at risk of developing any future conditions that could be prevented.
A large proportion of your dog’s immune system is closely associated with the gut, so any imbalance found on the report could lead to future health problems if left untreated. Gut wall integrity and immune system health are both crucial for overall wellbeing and vitality in all mammals, so testing could help you to keep your dog in optimum health, and help them lead a longer and happier life. -
You do not need to get your vet’s permission to test, or talk to them about performing the test beforehand. We do recommend that you pass on a copy of your test results to your regular vets, as it may help them in understanding your pet’s current health, and any future complaints they may have.
-
We recommend retesting in the future so that we can see how our recommendations have affected your dog’s microbiome. Frequency of retesting will depend on the health of your dog and their microbiome. If your dog is generally healthy, then retests will be less frequent. We usually recommend testing every 6 months to monitor their progress. If they have an active disease process, particularly a gastrointestinal disease, then we will recommend more frequent retests until we have things back under control with a healthier biome.
