Recognise Any of These?

These Symptoms Might Be Coming From the Gut

Most owners treat what they can see. But many common issues — from itchy skin to anxiety — can trace back to an imbalanced gut microbiome. If your dog is experiencing any of these, their gut could be the missing piece.

💩Recurring diarrhoea or loose stools
🤢Vomiting or nausea
🐾Excessive paw licking or scratching
💨Smelly gas or bloating
😴Low energy or lethargy
⚖️Unexplained weight changes
😟Anxiety or behavioural changes
🦷Persistent bad breath
No obvious symptoms? A gut test can still reveal hidden imbalances before they surface.

The Science

What the NouriPet Gut Balance Test Screens For

Using advanced DNA sequencing, we measure the relative abundance of key bacterial species — both harmful and beneficial — and compare them against 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

Each shown with relative abundance vs. healthy dog reference data.

Beneficial Bacteria Measured
  • Faecalibacterium spp.
  • Blautia spp.
  • Bifidobacterium spp.
  • Bacteroides spp.
  • Fusobacterium spp.
  • Subdoligranulum spp.
  • Megasphaera spp.
  • Turicibacter sanguinis
  • Clostridium hiranonis

Report shows which are present, which are low, and how to support each one.

Your report shows each species' relative abundance, what it means for your dog, and exactly what to do about it.

Why It Matters

Why Your Dog's Gut Matters More Than You Think

Research confirms that approximately 70% of a dog's immune system is housed within the gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiome doesn't just govern digestion — it actively shapes immune responses, influences energy metabolism, and even affects mood and behaviour. When that balance shifts (dysbiosis), it can show up as chronic diarrhoea, skin issues, lethargy, and recurring infections. Identifying that imbalance is the first step toward addressing it.

Best Practices

Tips for the Most Accurate Results

Collect in the morning

Before your dog eats where possible — this tends to produce cleaner, more reliable samples.

Pause probiotics first

Stop probiotic supplements 24 hours before collection to avoid temporarily skewing bacterial readings.

Post promptly

The preservation liquid keeps samples stable for months, but sending quickly is always best practice.

A little dirt is fine

Some environmental particles are normal — the lab can work around them. Just do your best to collect cleanly.

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.
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.
Stool testing alone cannot definitively diagnose nutrient deficiencies. However, certain bacterial patterns can suggest absorption issues. Where indicated, your report will recommend follow-up blood work with your vet for confirmation.
Yes, completely. The preservation tube keeps bacterial material stable for months across a wide range of temperatures. Once sealed, it is safe for standard post with no special handling required.
A standard vet stool test typically looks for parasites or 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, not interchangeable.
No. This test analyses bacterial DNA only. It does not detect parasites such as Giardia or roundworms. For those concerns, please speak with your veterinarian who can arrange appropriate parasitology screening.
Yes. Many gut imbalances exist without visible symptoms. Testing while healthy gives you a baseline to monitor over time and can reveal early shifts before they become clinical problems. Proactive testing is one of the best ways to protect long-term health.
We recommend retesting after 6–8 weeks if imbalances are found, or every 6 months for ongoing monitoring. Retests help you track progress and adjust your dog's plan over time.
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 worsening symptoms, please contact your veterinarian promptly. NouriPet is a wellness tool and does not replace emergency or clinical veterinary care.
