The Biome Broth Study is a pioneering study of a dog's gut microbiome and the influence bone broth can have in a dog's diet.

The study will work by collecting fecal samples of dogs that haven't had bone broth in their diet before, and are suffering from poor health.

Results will be analysed and then the dog will start drinking broth every day for 4 weeks, with no other changes to their diet and no inclusion of supplements during this time.

After the 4 weeks, we will test the gut microbiome of the dog and analyse the results.

We are looking for dogs to join this study.

As part of the study, after both biome tests have been taken, each participant is entitled to have an ongoing discount for Boil and Broth bone broth. Anna Webb Canine nutritionist is also discounting her services and Paleo Ridge are offering discounts on their products too.

To enter your dog into the study, you need to contact Carol Hughes at Biome4Pets, or contact us directly.

Every dog has a gut microbiome and it lives within their digestive system. The gut microbiome is made up of hundreds of different types of microbes including bacteria and fungi. The gut microbiome is like an eco-system within your dog. The microbes have a symbiotic relationship and work with one another. However, harmful bacteria and fungi can cause a disruption to the eco-system. If too many of the friendly bacteria are destroyed, then the harmful bacteria and fungi can overgrow leading to digestive problems, and other diseases.

A gut microbiome of a dog is vital to their wellness, we know that poor gut health in humans can lead to an array of long-term diseases including auto-immune, digestive problems, food intolerances and allergies, mood problems including depression, weight problems, low immunity, hormone deficiencies, skin problems and more. Humans and dogs are very similar, particularly when it comes to digestion, therefore we must consider that dogs would be affected in a similar way when they too have poor gut health.

Carol Hughes at Biome4Pets has been studying the microbiome of dogs for the recent years and has already made some incredible discoveries. "Through recent research and biome testing of dogs, we have discovered that ALL dogs have a poor diversity of bacteria in their gut microbiome." Biome4Pets take fecal samples from dogs to assess their gut microbiome and the results are astonishing, we therefore must consider the poor health of dogs nowadays, and the direct relationship with the gut microbiome.

There are a number of ways that you can get involved in this amazing ground-breaking new study!
