Purina Petivity Microbiome Comprehensive Gut Profile Analysis Kit for Cats & Dogs

My dog has had off and on diarrhea for years. Vets weren't sure what was going on and my dog wouldn't eat the expensive prescription food. When I got this kit I wasn't really expecting it to help that much. The instructions were very easy to follow. The test was back in the time frame they said. I also got the veterinary report which had a lot more details. The food and supplement recommendations Petivity suggested actually worked for my dog!

The Petivity Microbiome Analysis Kit is said to give you a picture of your dog’s gut health and they provide recommendations. I just took the sample so won’t have results for 4-6 weeks but I will comment on the testing process. The process itself was extremely simple. My kit did not contain the gloves that it was supposed to, but you are still able to gather your sample without touching anything, so not a big problem. The pet information survey seemed to go off in unrelated directions but I’ll know more on that once I get the results. Maybe those questions were useful.

The process was straightforward, directions are easy to follow and had all the safety features associated to collect a stool sample. I’ve always wondered if the food my Labrador was eating was causing his belly issues and skin allergies, now I know. I would highly recommend!! Petivity’s science-backed Microbiome Analysis Kits are designed to take the guesswork out of your pet’s feeding plan. Tailored nutrition that balances and supports their gut microbiome can promote a healthy immune system and support a healthy lifestyle.

One of my dogs has developed anxiety over time. He used to never be this way. Read about the connection between microbiome and anxiety and wanted to see if it provides any insight into this issue. Kit provides easy to follow instructions and I was able to easily collect a sample. Only downside is the wait for results, which were estimated at 4-6 weeks. Currently I waiting for results.
