Gut Restore for Dogs

I think we're getting there

My cocker spaniel has struggled with itchy everything for years now. She's been on Gut Restore and Skin Rescue for almost 2 months. I feel like her itchy sessions are becoming less frequent. She's still very itchy in the mornings but it doesn't go on and on all day like it used to. I need to retest her microbiome soon but I think we'll need to stay on Gut Restore for a while longer.

Not the Improvement I hoped for

I used AnimalBiome Gut Restore (>40lb large capsules) for my 41 lb Whippet with a long history of chronic soft stools and intermittent diarrhea. I kept a detailed stool diary throughout the trial. My dog was on the product for approximately 6 weeks. During the first 26 days, he experienced diarrhea on 11 of 26 days (42%). After consulting with AnimalBiome, I increased the dose from 1 capsule daily to 2 capsules daily. Following the dose increase, diarrhea frequency decreased to approximately 28% of days and my dog had several consecutive days of normal stools. Despite this, he continued to have ongoing soft stools and diarrhea episodes and I did not observe a meaningful overall improvement in his gastrointestinal symptoms. Overall, I did not see the dramatic improvement I was hoping for especially given the cost. It's possible the product provided some benefit but it was difficult for me to determine how much of the improvement was due to the capsules versus the natural ups and downs of his GI disease. Customer service was responsive and reviewed my stool diary but I found the recommendations focused heavily on additional AnimalBiome products and testing which was frustrating given the already significant cost of the Gut Restore capsules. For dogs with chronic gastrointestinal issues your experience may vary. In my case I did not observe a meaningful improvement in my dog's gastrointestinal symptoms over the course of the trial.
