Super Helpful Test for Gut and skin health!
This test was super easy to use. collecting the stool sample and mailing it out was a quick process, and results came back in about two weeks. The report was clear
This test was super easy to use. collecting the stool sample and mailing it out was a quick process, and results came back in about two weeks. The report was clear and helped guide me and my veterinarian to the right probiotic supplements for my dog. We had concerns with intermittent diarrhea and itchy skin, and since following the recommendations, his gut and skin health have improved dramatically. I highly recommend this kit for any dog with digestive or skin issues or for anyone looking to gain a more clear picture of their dogs health
Great, comprehensive & helpful!

I was so happy to try this product out for our 2.5 year old Staffordshire Terrier. This kit had everything I needed and excellent instructions on how to collect the sample to send off for testing. The kit had step by step instructions with photos so that it was nearly impossible to mess up. I collected the sample, set up an account with the company handling the testing, Animal Biome, and then sent it off in the prepaid envelope. Within a week, I got an email saying Animal Biome had received the sample. Then, within another few days, I received an email saying Ordo’s results were ready. When I logged in, a very comprehensive breakdown of the bacteria found in the sample were provided. With each bacteria, a description was provided to help me better understand the purpose of it, what the level should be, etc. Thankfully only one bacteria was elevated to a potentially harmful amount. Even better, I was able to easily share the results with Ordo’s vet to ask for their opinion on any supplements that could help with his imbalance. The vet reviewed his results (without making me come in for an exam fee) and suggested a supplement they had at the office that should help. Ordo has been taking the supplement for about a week and all has been well! He is not acting any different, but I think the change will be more internal and better for the long term health. Overall I absolutely recommend this kit to find out more about your dog’s needs.
Could be useful
To summarize the kit could be useful but not sure I would do it for another dog but maybe for a cat. It took me awhile to do the test. Something about collecting
To summarize the kit could be useful but not sure I would do it for another dog but maybe for a cat. It took me awhile to do the test. Something about collecting poop and doing the work made me put it off. HOWEVER it was actually very simple and quick. Great instructions with everything you need. After collection seal it up and on its way. Don't forget to register your kit before you throw anything away or ship. After registration it said results in about 2 weeks. That seemed like a long time but they got back to me in about a week. Results are detailed. Good information in there. I would test my cats cause they have sensitive stomachs and have tested positive by their vet for bad bacteria before.
Must have for dogs with GI problems
I test my dog's biome to evaluate changes in her gut bacteria. She has some health issues and this test helps me fine tune her gut health.

Great portal with results

This test is easy to use and send in. It does take a bit of time to get the report but you’re emailed a link to a portal that is clear and easy to understand. My dog only has mild occasional issues and the report wasn’t particularly helpful. (Their recommendation was to buy a supplement with pre and probiotics.). But if your dog has more serious problems, the report would probably be useful to discuss with your vet. The report shows measurements for 22 different bacteria with reference ranges. The portal also provides links that make the report very easy to share.

I was quite interested in using this test when I found out about it. I feed my dog a mainly fresh food diet. I was curious learn about his gut health and whether I needed to make any adjustments in his diet, etc. After receiving the test, I collected my sample, boxed it up and went to register the sample as per their directions. The directions are clear. It's easy to do. There was some difficulty on the their end recognizing the sample number given. About 24 hours and a few emails later I was asked to send photos of the vials. (They promptly answered emails) They were finally able to confirm the sample ID. Given this, I would suggest registering your sample BEFORE collecting it. After about a week, I got an email saying my sample was received and it would be 10-15 days for results. About 5 days later my results were in! Yay! It was interesting. The results suggested my dogs microbiome was imbalanced. It listed dozens of bacteria, good and bad, that my dog either had or didn't have and briefly how each affected the gut. The suggested next steps were to purchase one of their supplements and to increase protein and fiber in the diet. It further suggested re-testing at some point to see if these steps worked. I'm also quite interested in knowing about my second dog's gut health, but I'm not sure I would use this test again. In my opinion, it was a bit too heavy on the advertising and suggestions of their own products. Dietary adjustments I can, of course, make on my own, but even there they mentioned AnimalBiome products that might help. I had hoped to be given suggestions of specific foods that might help promote gut biome health and diversity. Alas, no such suggestions were offered.
A life saver

We have a 2 YO Pitty mix with severe stomach issues. This was recommended to-do, so we could get a better understanding of his gut microbiome. We collected the sample and mailed it back same day. It took 2 weeks to get our results back and share with with our vet or you can speak with a vet via the company as well. Our vet explained the results and now our boy is on different food and meds. Hes a completely different and happy boy now
Easy to administer

I was curious to try the AnimalBiome Gut Health Test for my dog, and while the idea is great, the overall experience left me feeling mixed. The kit was easy enough to use, and the instructions were clear, but the results were never provided back to me.
Not something I'd need to do twice.
I sent this in out of curiosity. My dog doesn't have any GI symptoms. I didn't find the results to be particularly surprising, but I also didn't find them helpful
I sent this in out of curiosity. My dog doesn't have any GI symptoms. I didn't find the results to be particularly surprising, but I also didn't find them helpful. They are just trying to sell their supplements. The process went quickly at least. It was easy to collect the sample and the results were back in my email very fast.
