About the Test

Say goodbye to gut health guesswork

The NouriPet Gut Balance Test uncovers what's really happening inside your dog's digestive system using advanced DNA sequencing — the same technology used by leading veterinary researchers. It's time to stop masking symptoms with short-term fixes and find out what's truly going on inside.

Gut imbalance can show up in many ways. If your dog is experiencing any of the following, their gut microbiome could be the missing piece:

Skin problems and persistent itching
Recurring loose stools or diarrhoea
Vomiting or nausea
Unexplained weight changes
Persistent bad breath
Smelly gas or bloating
Behavioural changes or anxiety
Joint concerns or reduced mobility
Sometimes no symptoms at all

This at-home kit is the easiest, most accessible way to gain clear, science-backed insights into your dog's gut health and microbiome. Proactive pet parents — stay one step ahead and make sure your dog gets the most from every meal.

Your Kit Includes

An activation quiz so we understand your dog's lifestyle, breed, age, and health history
All the tools you need to collect your dog's stool sample
Step-by-step instructions with QR code video guide
Prepaid return label to send your sample to our certified UK lab
Detailed gut health report within 2–3 weeks of lab receipt
Personalised supplement plan tailored to your dog's specific results
Free 60-day expert consultation with a gut health specialist
Step by Step

How to Use Your Kit

Your NouriPet Dog Gut Balance Test Kithas arrived. Follow these 6 steps to collect and return your sample correctly.

1

Activate Your Kit

Head to nouri.pet/activate and complete your dog's profile quiz. This tells our microbiologists about your dog's breed, age, diet, and health history — critical context for interpreting your results accurately.

2

Add Your Code

Find the 6-digit activation code in your confirmation email and write it clearly on the kit box and the sample tube. This links your sample to your dog's profile in our system.

3

Collect the Sample

Time for a walk. Use the collection swab and wooden stick to collect a small stool sample. Not sure how? Scan the QR code in your kit for a quick video guide. Stop probiotics 24 hours beforehand for the most accurate readings.

4

Seal the Sample

Place the swab into the preservation tube and seal tightly. The preservation liquid keeps your sample stable for months across a wide range of temperatures — so there's no rush, but sooner is always better.

5

Pack It Up

Slide the sealed tube into the transport bag, then place the bag back into the kit box. Seal the box shut using the adhesive strip provided.

6

Label & Post

Attach the prepaid return label to the bottom of the box and drop it in your nearest postbox. Your sample will be on its way to our certified UK lab. Results arrive to your inbox within 2–3 weeks of lab receipt.

The Science

What the NouriPet Test Screens For

Using advanced DNA sequencing, we measure the relative abundance of key bacterial species — both harmful and beneficial — and compare them against reference data from thousands of healthy dogs.

Harmful Bacteria Screened
  • Clostridium perfringens
  • Escherichia coli
  • Campylobacter jejuni
  • Campylobacter upsaliensis
  • Clostridioides difficile
  • Salmonella enterica
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Staphylococcus intermedius
  • Listeria monocytogenes
  • Clostridium piliforme
Beneficial Bacteria Measured
  • Faecalibacterium spp.
  • Blautia spp.
  • Bifidobacterium spp.
  • Bacteroides spp.
  • Fusobacterium spp.
  • Subdoligranulum spp.
  • Megasphaera spp.
  • Turicibacter sanguinis
  • Clostridium hiranonis

Your report shows each species' relative abundance, what it means for your dog's health, and exactly what dietary or supplement changes to make.

Your Report

What Your Results Include

Once your sample has been analysed in our certified UK lab, your results will be clearly mapped out in your NouriPet Gut Balance Report within 2–3 weeks of receiving your sample.

Overall Gut Balance Score

A single numerical score summarising your dog's gut health — Balanced, Mild Imbalance, or Significant Imbalance — including microbial health, diversity, and key health indicators.

Bacterial Community Profile

A detailed breakdown of bacteria present in your dog's gut — which are at healthy levels, which are too high, which are too low, and which are missing entirely.

Diversity, Balance & Resilience Score

Individual scores for microbiome diversity, bacterial richness, and gut resilience — benchmarked against data from thousands of healthy dogs.

Health Indicators

Scores showing how well your dog's gut microbiome is equipped to support digestion, skin health, breath quality, joint health, and immune function.

Personalised Diet Guidance

Specific food and fibre recommendations based on your dog's bacterial profile — what to add, what to reduce, and what to avoid entirely.

Tailored Supplement Plan

A personalised 30–60 day gut support protocol — probiotics, prebiotics, and targeted supplements matched precisely to your dog's imbalance pattern.

"We'd tried everything for Bella's skin — special shampoos, allergy meds, even steroid shots. The NouriPet test showed a clear bacterial imbalance. After 6 weeks on the supplement plan, the itching stopped completely."

"The process was so smooth and easy. Instructions were easy to follow and all the information in the report was easy to read through and explained really well. Our vet was impressed."

"Since starting his gut plan, we've had no stink bombs! And surprisingly his barking has eased too — which I had no idea was gut-related. Best money I've ever spent on my dog's health."

Frequently Asked Questions

The NouriPet Gut Balance Test analyses thousands of bacterial species in your dog's stool using advanced DNA sequencing. Your report shows which bacteria are present, which are high or low compared to healthy dogs, and gives you a personalised diet and supplement plan based on the findings — plus a free expert consultation to walk you through the results.
Once you've completed your activation quiz, collected a stool sample using the kit's tools, and sealed it tightly in the preservation tube — place it in the specimen bag, slide it back into the kit box, stick the prepaid return label on the bottom, and drop it in your nearest postbox. If you're in the Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands, or Northern Ireland, please use your local Post Office counter.
We aim to deliver your full Gut Balance Report within 2–3 weeks of receiving your sample at our certified UK lab. You'll receive an email notification with a link to your interactive online report, plus a downloadable PDF you can share with your veterinarian.
Yes! We recommend testing every dog in the household, as each dog's gut microbiome is completely unique. Use the quantity selector above to choose 1, 2, 3, or 4 kits — you'll save £10 on each additional kit ordered at the same time. Each kit comes with its own unique activation code, collection tools, prepaid return label, and separate personalised report.
Yes. Gut imbalances can exist without visible symptoms — and since microbiome diversity naturally declines with age, it's never safe to assume everything is functioning at 100%. Testing while healthy gives you a clear baseline to monitor over time and can reveal early shifts before they become clinical problems.
This test analyses bacterial DNA only — it does not directly diagnose specific food intolerances or allergies from stool alone. However, your report includes a structured elimination diet guide and symptom tracking protocol to help identify likely food triggers over time, which is the approach recommended by veterinary professionals.
We recommend retesting after 6–8 weeks if imbalances are found, or every 6 months for ongoing monitoring. Retests help you track your dog's progress and adjust their supplement plan over time. If your dog has an active digestive condition, more frequent retesting may be recommended in your report.
A standard vet stool examination typically looks for parasites or obvious signs of infection using conventional microscopy. The NouriPet test uses next-generation DNA sequencing to identify thousands of bacterial species simultaneously — a level of detail a routine vet test cannot provide. The two approaches are complementary rather than interchangeable.
If your dog is experiencing blood in their stool, significant weight loss, repeated vomiting, severe lethargy, or is a very young puppy or elderly dog with rapidly worsening symptoms, please contact your veterinarian promptly. NouriPet is a wellness tool and does not replace emergency or clinical veterinary care.
