Today, we’re excited to announce a new chapter in that journey: a collaboration with Pooch & Mutt.

This fresh new approach will continue to bring accessible, reliable, microbiome testing -  paired with the same great supplements and expert advice you trust.

What Happens When Dogs Eat More Fibre? New Science Reveals Gut Secrets

Fibre – it’s not just for humans. While we often hear about its benefits for our own digestive health, what about our dogs? A fascinating new study by Bhosle et al. (2025) reveals how increasing dietary fibre affects the trillions of microbes living in a dog’s gut – and the important compounds they produce.

The Winter Microbiome: Supporting Your Dog’s Health Through the Season

As winter sets in, it’s not just humans who feel the effects of shorter days and colder weather. Our dogs experience seasonal changes too, and with winter comes new challenges for their immune health, digestive balance, and overall wellness. The cooler months are prime time to check in on your dog’s gut health and take simple steps to support their microbiome.

Pathogens and Your Dog’s Gut Health

Research from BIOME9 reveals that over 92% of dogs have pathogens present in their microbiome, with 85% carrying more than one. While many pathogens remain asymptomatic, they can lead to illness when stress or a weakened immune system comes into play.

Join the Next Big Thing in Canine Health Research

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of our groundbreaking breed-specific microbiome research study at BIOME9! This is your chance to be part of something truly exciting that could transform our understanding of canine health and longevity.

Resilience and why it is the key to good gut health.

In our GutDiscovery® report, you will see a few references to the ‘resilience’ of your dog’s Gut Microbiome. But what actually is resilience in the context of gut health, how is it measured, and why is it so important? 

Announcing the Groundbreaking BIOME9 1000-Dog Longevity Study

We’re thrilled to introduce the BIOME9 1000-Dog Longevity Study, a pioneering research project that will explore the connections between the canine gut microbiome and long-term health. This exclusive study, led by our renowned team of experts, could select your dog as one of the participants in this landmark research.

The difference between allergies and intolerances, and why it's important to know the difference.

Does your dog go through bouts of itching, or seem unwell after meals, and you aren’t sure if it's an allergy or intolerance? Knowing the difference between the two may be the key to your dog’s comfort. 

Guide Dogs UK: Using GutDiscovery® to improve the long-term health of working dogs.

In a ground-breaking new partnership, Guide Dogs UK has teamed up with BIOME9 to explore and optimise the gastrointestinal health of their puppies as they train to be guide dogs. 

Understanding Your Dog's Behaviour: The Microbiome Connection

There are many tools to help manage our dogs' behaviour, such as training and physical activity. However, did you know that the microbiome is an underused resource in addressing unwanted behaviours and even influencing your dog's anxiety and stress levels?

Transform Your Dog’s Health with BIOME9: Real Results from Real Customers

Recently, we reached out to customers in the midst of their BIOME9 journey to gather feedback on how our supplements have benefited their dogs so far.

Natural born carnivores?

The debate over whether our domestic dogs are pure carnivores or are well adapted to a more omnivorous diet has been raging in the pet nutrition community for many years, and while there have been strong arguments for both positions, there has been little in the way of firm scientific evidence to back them up. However, this could be changing as recent developments in our understanding of the canine gut microbiome are starting to uncover more about how the bacterial populations in our dogs’ digestive tracts are adapted to different types of diet.
