Unlock a deeper understanding of your dog’s gut health with this at-home Comprehensive Gut Health Test — a proactive tool for pet parents who care about foundational wellness.

This lab-grade stool analysis goes beyond basic checks to evaluate key functional markers tied to digestion, immune activity, inflammation, and intestinal barrier integrity. It helps you discover hidden imbalances before they become chronic issues, giving you the insights you need to optimize diet, supplements, and lifestyle interventions that truly support long-term health.

This test is especially ideal if your dog or cat has ongoing or unexplained symptoms — like inconsistent stools, chronic gas, itchy skin, food sensitivities, low energy, or mood shifts — or if you simply want a proactive benchmark for gut wellness. Results include actionable insights and patterns that aren’t visible with routine vet screenings alone.

What This Gut Test Measures (And Why It Matters)

Calprotectin (Dog & Cat)

What it is: A protein released by immune cells during inflammation in the gut.
Why it’s tested: Elevated calprotectin points to active intestinal inflammation, which can contribute to chronic diarrhea, IBD-type symptoms, discomfort, and poor nutrient absorption. It helps identify when the gut is irritated or inflamed—even before symptoms become severe.

Secretory IgA (sIgA) (Dog & Cat)

What it is: The primary immune antibody found in the gut lining.
Why it’s tested: sIgA reflects the strength and balance of the gut’s immune defense. Low levels may indicate immune suppression or chronic stress, while high levels can signal immune overactivation. Either imbalance can contribute to food sensitivities, infections, and systemic inflammation.

Zonulin (Dog & Cat)

What it is: A protein that regulates the tight junctions in the intestinal lining.
Why it’s tested: Elevated zonulin is associated with increased intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), which allows unwanted particles to cross the gut barrier and trigger immune reactions. This marker helps assess gut barrier integrity and overall intestinal resilience.

Anti-Gliadin IgA (Dog & Cat)

What it is: An immune antibody that reacts to gliadin, a component of gluten.
Why it’s tested: This marker helps identify immune reactivity to gluten-containing grains, even in dogs without obvious symptoms. Elevated levels may be associated with digestive upset, inflammation, skin issues, or immune dysregulation related to dietary triggers.

Pancreatic Elastase (Dog)

What it is: A digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas.
Why it’s tested: This marker evaluates pancreatic digestive function. Low levels suggest impaired enzyme production, which can lead to maldigestion, nutrient deficiencies, weight loss, and chronic loose stools—even when food quality is high.

Beta-Glucuronidase (Dog)

What it is: An enzyme produced by certain gut bacteria.
Why it’s tested: Elevated beta-glucuronidase is linked to imbalanced gut bacteria and impaired detoxification pathways. High levels may increase the reabsorption of toxins and hormones in the gut, placing extra stress on the liver and immune system.

How It Works

1. Order & Receive: The kit arrives with everything you need to collect a small stool sample at home — no stress, no clinic appointment.

2. Register & Collect: Register your unique kit ID online, collect the sample using the included tools, and prepare it for return shipping.

3. Lab Analysis & Results: Once received at the lab, your dog’s gut function is analyzed across multiple biomarkers, and a digital report is delivered within 10–14 days with clear interpretations and next-step recommendations.

What makes this test special is the comprehensive snapshot it provides — measuring inflammation, immune function, digestion efficiency, and gut barrier strength all in one. This level of insight empowers you to make informed adjustments to your dog’s nutrition and care — helping them thrive from the inside out.
