Now we all know that a healthy gut - digestion - bowel movements - hydration etc - leads to a long and healthy life. So it makes sense that we want this for our Kitties too - which is in part , why we feed a raw diet daily with the Nu Vet .
But this company - AnimalBiome is taking things a step further.
They are , through a simple fecal sample mailed into them , offering to tell you in a report exaclty what bacteria are or are not present.
I would think for hte average owner this might not be off too much help - but for the determined owner with a kitty who say might be suffering from IBD this could be a wonderful thing. Also - if shared with your vet , and really why wouldnt you , they would be able to help you understand more fully what you are looking at and how it can apply to your specific kitty.

How AnimalBiome Works
- 1. Collect: Order an assessment kit, sample your pet, and mail the sample back to us.
- 2. Analyze: We extract and sequence DNA from the sample to identify your pet’s gut bacteria.
- 3. Assess: You go online to explore, compare and share your pet’s results
- So while we have not tried this company or product out - we wanted to be sure to share this information
