The Challenge
Your pet's gut microbiome — the community of bacteria living in their digestive system — is one of the most significant drivers of overall health. It influences immunity, coat condition, energy, digestion, and even behaviour.
A B.A.R.F. raw diet fundamentally changes gut microbiome composition. We know this scientifically. Now we're giving our customers the tools to see it themselves — with data, not just opinion.
AnimalBiome's at-home testing kit analyzes your pet's gut bacterial community via a simple swab. You do it twice — Day 0 and Day 90. The results tell the story.
Kit cost: ~$99–$135 CAD per test via AnimalBiome

How It Works
Order via our AnimalBiome partner link below — everything is included. A sterile swab, full instructions, and a prepaid return envelope. Done at home in under 5 minutes. No vet visit required.
Get your kit →Before starting K9GourmetBB, collect your pet's baseline swab and send it to AnimalBiome. You'll receive a detailed gut health report within 2–3 weeks.
Begin your K9GourmetBB subscription on the same day you collect your baseline test. Feed consistently for the full 90 days for accurate before/after comparison.
At 90 days, collect a second swab and send it to AnimalBiome. Compare your Day 0 and Day 90 reports. Share your results with us — we'd love to feature your pet's story.
The Science
70–80% of the immune system is in the gut. A diverse, balanced microbiome is foundational to your pet's ability to resist disease, recover from illness, and maintain healthy inflammation response.
Skin and coat health are directly downstream of gut function. The improvements pet owners report within 6–8 weeks of switching to raw — shinier coat, reduced shedding, clearer skin — are largely gut-mediated.
The gut-brain axis connects digestive health to neurological function. Dysbiosis (gut imbalance) has been linked to lethargy, anxiety, and behavioural irregularities in companion animals.
Anyone can claim raw food is better. Microbiome data showing measurably improved gut bacterial diversity and composition after 90 days of B.A.R.F. raw is scientific validation that doesn't require argument.
