AnimalBiome
AnimalBiome focuses on the microbiome — the trillions of bacteria in your dog’s gut — and how balancing it supports overall health. Their offerings include:
Gut Health Tests — Mail-in fecal tests that assess your dog’s gut microbiome, showing which bacteria are overgrown, underrepresented, or missing.
Gut Restore Supplements — Species-specific fecal microbiota capsules (FMT) used to help repopulate the gut with beneficial bacteria.
Prebiotic and Digestive Supplements — Supportive products to maintain gut flora and support digestion after or between FMT courses.
Why We Might Recommend It
Many chronic issues like itching, poor digestion, loose stools, or inconsistent appetite are tied to microbiome imbalance.
Dogs who’ve been on antibiotics, long-term medications, or processed diets often benefit from targeted microbiome restoration.
Unlike generic probiotics, AnimalBiome uses DNA sequencing and species-specific strains to restore what’s actually missing — not just guess at it.
Consider This Instead of...
Broad-spectrum probiotics that may not match your dog’s specific needs.
Repeated antibiotics or steroids for recurring digestive upset or skin issues without identifying root causes.
When to Use This
After antibiotics, parasite infections, or yeast overgrowth protocols.
For dogs with chronic GI symptoms or recurring diarrhea.
In cases where food changes and probiotics haven’t helped.
Implementation Tips
Start with the Gut Health Test if you’re unsure what’s going on — the report is easy to understand and includes actionable steps.
If you already suspect severe imbalance (post-antibiotics, etc.), the Gut Restore Supplement can be started alongside dietary changes.
Follow up with a second test 60–90 days later to see what’s shifted — it’s not always a one-and-done process.
