Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a rapid parasite test?
A rapid parasite test usually checks for one or a few specific parasites. This laboratory test provides a broader gut health overview and includes microbiome composition, diversity markers and multiple microorganism groups.
Can this test help if my dog has recurring diarrhoea or loose stools?
Yes. Recurring diarrhoea, loose stools, gas, bloating or appetite changes can have several causes. This test can help identify whether gut imbalance, parasites or other microorganisms may be involved.
Can gut imbalance affect more than digestion?
Yes. The gut microbiome can influence digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function and overall wellbeing. This is why a broader gut health analysis can provide useful context when symptoms are ongoing.
