With Dolly facing challenges like IVDD and the aftermath of a salmonella incident, I was keen to explore ways to optimise her diet and support her gut health in her senior years. The process of collecting the sample for the test was surprisingly simple and straightforward, if a little gross! The kit provided everything needed to scoop a small kidney bean sized blob of Dolly’s stool and send it back for analysis. However, there was a slight hiccup with the first …
