The Gut Biome test is very comprehensive and really impressive! My dog showed some high bad bacteria, and low good bacteria. She had intermittent vomiting and rare occasional bloody diarrhea, along with bad breath, low energy, frequent nausea and poor appetite. The first round of Gut Restore pills did improve her health, along with a change of diet, and supplements.

Just for the educational value of the report alone I felt it was worth my money. I have purchased two more kits to test the other dog and re-test the one I tested already.

About Embarkย A different kind of dog DNA company
Not all dog DNA tests are created equal - and neither are the companies that make them. While some of of Embarkโs competitors are part of big conglomerates, Embark is a startup founded by dog-loving scientists and veterinarians. They only focus on one thing: canine health.
Their founders, Ryan and Adam Boyko, spent years traveling the world and swabbing dogs in remote areas of Europe, Asia, and South America. But they knew there was more they could do to support all dogs.
