In this episode, I walk through something a little different, I tested my own dog Bernard's guut microbiome.

The interesting part? He has no gastrointestinal symptoms. No diarrhea, no vomiting, and no obvious gut issues. From the outside, he looks like a completely healthy dog.

But when we tested his gut microbiome, the results revealed something many pet owners don't realize: the gut ecosystem can be slightly out of balance even when a dog appears perfectly healthy.

This is exactly why I believe microbiome testing should become a more routine part of preventive veterinary care.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Why microbiome testing shouldn't only be done when dogs are sick
• What the gut microbiome actually tells us about overall health
• His microbiome results and what they mean
• Why short-chain fatty acids are so important for gut and immune health
• How nutrition and fiber influence the microbiome ecosystem
• Why early microbiome support can help prevent disease later

If you'd like help interpreting gut health testing or building a personalized plan for your dog's nutrition and microbiome support, you can schedule a consultation with me below.
