Dog Microbiome Check

$299 AUD

Your dog’s gut tells a story — one that shapes their energy, comfort, and happiness. The Dog Microbiome Screen explores the balance of bacteria in your dog’s gut to reveal how it may be affecting digestion, skin, immunity, and even mood. Perfect for dogs with ongoing issues or for owners who want to give their best friend truly personalised care from the inside out.

For dogs needing deeper insight into microbial balance

The gut microbiome plays a key role in everything from digestion to emotional regulation. When the microbial ecosystem is out of balance, it can quietly drive chronic issues like itchy skin, gut sensitivity, poor coat quality or immune dysfunction. This test maps the key bacterial groups and compares them to healthy reference ranges to identify dysbiosis and guide targeted support.

This panel uses DNA analysis to profile the bacterial composition of your dog’s stool. Together, these results help guide personalised microbiome restoration strategies.

The gut microbiome is central to long-term health. Even without obvious digestive symptoms, microbial imbalance can contribute to chronic inflammation, immune reactivity, poor nutrient absorption or anxiety-like behaviour. This test offers a foundational look at your dog’s internal ecosystem to support early intervention or tailored nutrition.

Your dog’s report will include vet-reviewed recommendations for prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics based on their individual microbiome profile.

This screen is ideal for:

Dogs with itchy skin, soft stools or suspected food sensitivities
Dogs with chronic inflammation or poor response to diet changes
Dogs that have received antibiotics, steroids or long-term medications
Pet parents looking to personalise nutrition, probiotics or supplement routines

What's included

Gut Health Copilot

Your dog's gut is at the centre of their overall health, influencing everything from digestion and energy to mood, hormones, and immunity. This personalised gut health profile brings their results to life, showing how well each system is working and where targeted support may help. Explore your key domains below to understand your pet's unique microbiome balance and the simple steps you can take to improve their gut health.

Common Bacteria

Healthy pets have microbiomes with lots of different kinds of bacteria represented, and no single group of bacteria take up too much space. That means that there are lots of different bacteria to do all of the jobs that need to be done in an animal's gut. If not enough healthy bacteria are present, not all the jobs get done.

Other Bacteria

The Other Bacteria group includes a range of less abundant microbial species that contribute to the overall balance and resilience of the gut ecosystem. While these bacteria are not the primary drivers of gut function, they can play supportive or modulatory roles in digestion, short-chain fatty acid production, and immune regulation.

This stool test measures:

Harmful Bacteria

Harmful bacteria are bad news for both the short and long term health of your pet's microbiome. This microbiome test screens your pet for all these harmful bacteria and flags those found at unhealthy levels. You can significantly reduce the presence of these bacteria with a combination of supplements and dietary modifications.

Recommended Treatment Plan

Gut dysbiosis can manifest in a variety of physical conditions and symptoms. Restoring balance within the microbiome has the potential to enhance your pet's overall well-being. This section of the report details the interventions tailored to your pet's microbiome data.
