Joint health, mobility and the microbiome
It is well accepted that the microbes in our dogs’ intestines can play a major role in the health of their joints and their mobility.

Precision pet care, underpinned by years of pioneering research, thousands of samples, and advanced machine learning – all designed for your pet’s lasting wellbeing.
The health of your dog’s gut microbiome – an ecosystem of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, and fungi) that live in their digestive system – can have a wide impact on overall wellbeing.
Back when dogs foraged for food, they used to enrich their microbiomes the natural way. Today, these critical nutrients and vitamins are missing in modern diets and lifestyles, so microbial communities can quickly go out of balance (dysbiosis).
The bacteria in your dog’s microbiome are not only responsible for producing chemicals for digestion, but 70% of their immune system lies in the lining of the gut and the chemicals they produce send signals all over the body to control processes from disease control, mood, skin reactions and even cellular repair. Clinical studies show that over 90% of dogs will experience at least one avoidable symptom of poor microbiome health each year. Is your dog one of them?
We use human-grade, 16s-rRNA sequencing to identify millions of unique data points from the bacteria present in your dog’s sample. These are run through the InvisibleHealth® AI protocols, against one of the largest libraries of canine metadata in the world, to spot bioinformatic patterns that would be impossible for humans to identify.
We match how your dog’s diet and microbial makeup could be linked to biomarkers for:
Through our pioneering biotech team in Cambridge Science Park, your dog’s GutDiscovery® Microbiome Profile test report is created using proprietary biotechnology and the result of exploration into millions of biomarkers - making it a gold-standard for canine health insight.
Think of it as a detailed map of your dog’s gut health, comparing it against an even larger dataset. It will guide you through the findings and our simple solutions to bring balance back to their microbiome. Beyond that, it can even highlight early indicators of potential health concerns so that you can proactively address them with your vet.
Your dog's sample contributes to our growing bank of data and new research. Thanks to our InvisbleHealth® AI, we’re able to detect new novel patterns and pinpoint emerging biomarkers; discoveries that hold the potential to identify early indicators and new diseases in dogs.
When paired with optimal nutrition strategies and the right care, they could drastically extend the lifespan of dogs who are predisposed to shorter and less happy lives.
