KittyBiome™ Gut Health Test

Find out what’s really going on inside your cat’s digestive system. This at-home test by AnimalBiome detects bacterial imbalances and provides actionable insights for personalized diet, supplement, or lifestyle changes to improve your cat’s health.

If your cat’s gut microbiome is out of balance or missing beneficial bacteria, important digestive and immune functions may not work properly, causing symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and skin issues.

The Gut Health Test report gives you the tools to understand your cat’s everyday digestive health. Using DNA sequencing, this kit analyzes the bacteria in the sample and compares it to a healthy cat reference set to determine if an imbalance is present.

The test kit includes everything you need to collect a stool sample from your cat, and send it back to us for assessment. You will receive a detailed report to understand and help restore your cat’s health.

Send your sample. The kit includes a pre-addressed mailer with prepaid postage in the US for use when sending back your sample.
