"This is a neat little kit especially if your dog is having digestive issues. The kit analysis your animals microbiome and will give you recommendations on foods & supplements. Once you mail off your sample it takes 4–6 weeks to get your results."

β€” Henrychick

"I was really excited to get the results from this Pet Microbiome kit, for our dog. The kit came with simple instructions for the sample, as well as a thorough Online Survey as part of the kit registration. This kit would have ideally come out in sync with the customer expectation."

Bottom Line

Overall, a good choice for those wanting to analyze their pet's gut health, but monitor customer support if any issues arise.
