Hello,

The gut microbiome is something you’ll hear discussed a lot when it comes to human health — but also dog gut health.

But what do we know about dogs’ microbiome?

What we do know is the microbiome is a complex ecosystem living inside your dog’s body, particularly in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 

If a dog’s microbiome gets off-track, though, it can affect their digestion, immune function, and even their behavior.

To learn more about dogs’ microbiomes and how their diet can affect their digestive system, we spoke to Dr. Renee Streeter, a Veterinary Nutritionist working with 5-star-rated dog food PetPlate.
