AnimalBiome® Gut Health Test for Dogs & Cats

Chronic itching, unpredictable diarrhea, gas, ear issues that keep coming back, food reactions you can't pin down — you've been managing symptoms without ever seeing what's actually happening in your pet's gut. This at-home test changes that. Instead of guessing at what might help, you get a real look at the microorganisms living in your pet's digestive tract and a starting point built from what's actually there.

Why It Fits the ReWilding Model

Test, don't guess. This is exactly the kind of tool that lets you stop throwing random supplements at a problem and start building a plan from real information about your specific pet. It doesn't hand you a fix — it hands you a map, and what you do with that map is still up to you.

What's Included

The AnimalBiome Gut Health Test analyzes the microorganisms in your pet's digestive tract using microbiome sequencing. From a simple at-home stool sample, you'll receive a detailed report covering:

• Beneficial bacteria levels and imbalances
• A dysbiosis score
• Red flags connected to inflammation, sensitivities, poor digestion, or immune stress
• Personalized nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations

AnimalBiome notes this test may be useful for pets dealing with chronic or recurring digestive issues, allergies or unexplained itching, food sensitivities, long-term antibiotic use, senior health changes, or for anyone optimizing a raw or home-cooked diet.

How to Use It

1. Collect the sample — use the included tools to gather a small amount of stool. Takes about a minute.
2. Activate your kit online — register your pet to receive digital results and recommendations.
3. Mail it in — return the sample in the prepaid mailer. No special storage or timing needed.
4. Get your pet's microbiome report — in about 2–3 weeks, you'll receive a full breakdown of gut bacteria, dysbiosis score, and what it means.
5. Follow your custom plan — AnimalBiome provides recommendations for diet changes, functional foods, and supplements based on your pet's results.

What Makes It Different

This isn't a symptom checklist — it's an actual look at what's living in your pet's gut, with a report built specifically from their sample rather than a generic elimination plan.

Who It's Not Right For

This test is a good fit for pets with chronic GI issues, allergies, hot spots or persistent ear problems, a history of antibiotics or steroids, seniors needing extra support, puppies or kittens with early digestive trouble, and raw- or home-fed pets where microbiome balance matters.

This test provides microbiome insight to help guide nutrition and lifestyle choices. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace veterinary care. Always consult your veterinarian regarding medical concerns, diagnoses, or changes to your pet's care plan.
