Dog Gut Microbiome Test
Decode your dog's gut with one test.
Dogs deal with diarrhoea, poor coat, nutrition gaps and mood swings that are hard to make sense of. Azooka's gut microbiome test is built for dogs living on Indian food, water and weather, and gives you clear food, supplement and care recommendations you can actually act on.

A real Azooka report
Meet Buddy. This is his gut, decoded.
Buddy's a 4-year-old Golden Retriever. One at-home sample was enough to score his gut Optimal, flag the exact probiotic strains he was short on, clear him across a screen of 70+ pathogens and parasites, and work out his gut age and human-year equivalent. Your dog's sample can do the same. All it takes is a kit at your door.

The questions we get asked most
If you've searched any of these late at night with a worried dog beside you, a gut microbiome report is a good place to start.
Skin itching, allergies & rashes
"Why is my dog itching?" · "Dog has red skin"
Often traced back to gut and immune imbalance, flagged in the Whole-Body Health markers.
Ticks & tick fever
"How to remove ticks?" · "Dog tick fever symptoms"
The 70+ pathogen screen catches tick-borne organisms early, before symptoms escalate.
Diarrhoea & loose stools
"Why does my dog have loose motion?"
One of the clearest signals in the diversity and digestive-power scores.
Vomiting & digestive upset
"Dog vomiting" · "What to feed a dog after vomiting?"
Digestive-power markers show how well your dog breaks down and absorbs food.
Worms & deworming
"Does my dog have worms?" · "How often should I deworm?"
Parasite screening covers the common intestinal worms alongside bacterial and fungal threats.
Food allergy & intolerance
"Best food for a dog with allergies"
Diet recommendations are personalised to your dog's exact microbial profile.
Parvo & puppy diarrhoea
"Parvo symptoms" · "Bloody stool in a puppy"
High-risk pathogens are flagged Low, Moderate or High so you and your vet can act fast.
Ear infections
"Dog constantly scratching ear"
Linked to the same inflammation and microbial signals the report screens for.
What's inside the report
A lot more than one score
It runs on the same NGS sequencing pipeline Azooka's diagnostic lab network uses every day, just pointed at your dog's gut instead of a human patient's.
Overall Health Score
One easy-to-read score, benchmarked against healthy dogs of similar breed and age.
Microbial Diversity
How varied your dog's gut bacteria are, and how their kingdom balance compares to the healthy range.
Probiotic Checklist
Which of the 30 beneficial bacteria strains, like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, are present or missing.
Pathogen Screening
70+ bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic pathogens screened, each flagged Low, Moderate or High.
Antimicrobial Resistance
80+ antibiotic-susceptibility markers, so you and your vet know exactly which antibiotics will actually work.
Digestive Power
How efficiently your dog's gut breaks down carbs, fats and protein, and how well it absorbs what's left.
Whole-Body Health Markers
Mobility, coat condition, oral odour, inflammation, plus metabolic and cardiovascular signals.
Mood & Neurotransmitters
Gut-produced serotonin, dopamine, GABA and butyrate levels linked to mood and behaviour.
Temperament Traits
Microbial signatures linked to aggression, anxiety and fear-based behaviours.
Diet Recommendations
A personalised list of beneficial foods and probiotic strains for your dog's exact profile.
Fun Health Tags
Your dog's gut age and human-year equivalent, calculated straight from the microbiome data.
Vet-Ready PDF
A shareable, printable report you can bring straight to your dog's next vet visit.

Happy tails
What pet parents are finding out
"We found out our rescue pup had almost no beneficial bacteria left. Three months of the recommended diet later, her coat and energy are unrecognisable."
"No fasting, no vet trip needed. I did the whole swab at my kitchen counter in under two minutes, and the report itself was actually fun to read."
"Our vet was impressed with how detailed the pathogen and antibiotic-resistance panel was. It changed how we treated her."
These are illustrative quotes, not verified customer reviews yet.
"We have moved our entire sample collection tubes to Azooka's mWRAPR. It has improved yields from samples and is stable at higher temperatures, which is critical in GCC and APAC markets."
Questions, answered
Questions pet parents actually ask
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. It's a research and informational-use gut microbiome analysis, not a diagnostic test. Always read the results together with your veterinarian.
How is the sample collected?
With a simple at-home stool or saliva swab, using Azooka's collection tube. No fasting, no blood draw, no trip to the vet.
How long until I get results?
Most reports land in your inbox within 2–3 weeks of the lab receiving your dog's sample.
Does breed, age or size matter?
Not really. The test works for any breed, age or size of dog. Results are benchmarked against a healthy canine reference range so the comparison stays fair.
Can I share the report with my vet?
Yes. Every report comes as a clean, printable PDF that's meant to be read together with a vet, not instead of one.
