Microbiome briefing

Bello's microbiome

Bello's microbiome has a clearly dog-typical composition. The profile provides a baseline for future comparisons.

Key points

  • Dog-typical composition
  • Fermenting groups present
  • Stable baseline

Your next steps

  • Keep the baseline stable
  • Test one fiber source deliberately
  • Compare progress later

Diversity

Diversity

Diversity shows how broadly and evenly the bacterial profile is distributed.

Shannon diversity0.67very low
very lowrather lowmediumrather highhigh

Bello's microbiome appears rather focused in this analysis. A few bacterial groups shape the profile more strongly, while smaller fermenting groups are also visible. Use the result as a baseline and make any feeding changes gradually while watching stool form, gas and appetite.

Low diversity can indicate a less versatile microbiome and may be unfavourable in the overall picture. On its own, however, it does not show a health problem: diet, medication and individual differences can influence the value. Pay particular attention to stool quality, appetite and tolerance, and assess changes over time.

For everyday life: Introduce changes gradually and observe tolerance, stool quality and appetite.

Health & wellbeing

What the microbiome shows

Strength

Dog-typical composition

Fusobacterium is the most abundant bacterial group.

What we see
Fusobacterium clearly shapes the profile.
What this may mean
A high proportion is common in dogs and is not a warning sign on its own.
What you can do
Keep the well-tolerated feeding routine unchanged.
Opportunity

Fermenting groups present

Several fermenting groups are present, but they do not dominate the profile.

What we see
Lachnospiraceae, Blautia and Phascolarctobacterium are visible in the profile.
What this may mean
These groups can utilize plant-based fiber components.
What you can do
Test soft-cooked, unseasoned carrot as the only new fiber source and observe tolerance for 1–2 weeks.
Strength

Stable baseline

The profile provides a reference for future comparisons.

What we see
According to the questionnaire, Bello currently has no digestive symptoms.
What this may mean
Changes after diet adjustments, medication or stress can be compared with this baseline.
What you can do
Keep the current routine and document relevant changes.
Tailytics AI

Tailytics AI

Our models review patterns in the microbiome profile and provide supporting indicators. They do not replace laboratory diagnostics or veterinary examination.

ResultUnremarkable

Parasite indicators

For the parasite patterns considered, this report shows no notable model-based indicator.

ResultSlightly elevated

Chronic digestive pattern indicators

The model shows an elevated indicator value. Interpret this together with symptoms, stool quality and veterinary assessment.

Concrete steps for feeding and everyday routines.

Introduce

Test one fiber source deliberately

Test one well-tolerated fiber source deliberately: mix a very small amount of soft-cooked, unseasoned carrot or pumpkin into an existing meal.

Start:
a very small trial amount, adjusted to size and previous tolerance · 2-3 times per week to start, without changing daily · soft-cooked, unseasoned and mixed into the food
Timeframe:review for 2 weeks before changing the amount or adding another ingredient

Tolerance: Watch stool form, gas, belly noises and appetite. If stool becomes softer or gas increases, pause the test.

If Bello receives a special diet or shows symptoms, coordinate a feeding change professionally.

Watch

Make feeding effects visible

Briefly note which meals, treats and chews Bello receives and how stool form, gas and appetite respond.

Start:
briefly each day or directly after food extras · simple diary or phone note
Timeframe:14 days

Tolerance: This helps you see whether carrot, pumpkin, treats or chews tend to stabilize or burden Bello's digestion.

Retest later

Compare after 8-12 weeks

If you have deliberately changed feeding, chews, probiotics or daily routines, a retest can show whether the overall pattern has shifted.

Start:
once after a clearly defined change · new sample after unchanged daily routine
Timeframe:after about 8-12 weeks of stable change at the earliest

Our recommendations for the coming weeks — so you can continue with small, focused steps.

Understand & apply

  • Use the key findings as orientation for feeding and daily routines.
  • Keep track of which routines work well for your dog.
  • Make changes one at a time so effects remain easier to follow.

Clarify noticeable changes

  • If symptoms are present or worsen, have them assessed by a veterinarian.
  • Microbiome indicators do not replace an examination.
  • Change existing diets or medication only with professional guidance.

Change slowly

  • Introduce new ingredients or routines step by step.
  • Observe stool quality, appetite, gas and tolerance.
  • Give the microbiome several weeks to respond to stable changes.

Compare over time

  • A retest can be useful after about 8-12 weeks of stable change.
  • Compare the overall pattern, not only individual bacteria.
  • Especially helpful after diet changes, antibiotics or longer routine changes.

Method note

This report is based on 16S rRNA sequencing of a stool sample. Bioinformatics interprets the relative bacterial composition using Tailytics models and a curated knowledge base. The report supports wellness- and lifestyle-oriented microbiome interpretation and is not a diagnosis.
