Canine faecal microbiome testing designed for veterinary professionals, nutritionists, behaviourists, and researchers.
What do we do?
BIOME9 provides canine faecal microbiome testing designed for veterinary professionals, nutritionists, behaviourists, and researchers. Our GutDiscovery® platform delivers detailed insights into the composition and function of the gut microbiome, supporting diagnosis, personalised nutrition, and treatment planning.
As an R&D-led SME, we also conduct in-house research to advance understanding of companion animal gut microbiomes in relation to health, disease, and behaviour. Alongside testing, we offer research services and collaborative projects, helping to generate robust scientific data and apply microbiome science in practice.
What services do we offer?
We offer access to a unique dataset of over 1,600 canine microbiomes with species-level resolution and linked medical histories. Alongside this, we provide research services including study design support, recruitment, faecal sample collection, downstream analysis, and scientific writing. Our consultancy work and quarterly Journal Club further support knowledge exchange and translation.
Who can we help?
BIOME9 is most relevant to veterinary professionals, canine nutritionists, and behaviourists seeking to improve animal health through gut microbiome insights.We also provide research services for commercial partners and academic institutions, supporting innovation and discovery in companion animal health and One Medicine.
How do we support One Medicine?
Our GutDiscovery® platform supports One Medicine by enabling cross-species applications of microbiome science. Companion dogs share a highly similar microbiome to humans and develop many of the same spontaneous diseases.
Insights from canine microbiome testing can guide interventions such as diet and supplements in both species, while human research informs new approaches for veterinary care, creating a two-way learning opportunity.
“The microbiome is one of the most revolutionary yet complex areas of health. Having worked across humans, poultry, and now dogs, I’ve seen the power ofshared insights. One Medicine helps us unlock these connections to improve lives on both sides.”
