Hi Dog Lovers! I’ve really been looking forward to having today’s guest on the show. With me is Dr. Holly Ganz, PhD, who is the Chief Science Officer and co-founder of AnimalBiome, a biotech company that provides microbiome testing to assess gut health and oral supplements to restore key beneficial microbes in cats and dogs. Holly studied microbes associated with animals at UC Davis and UC Berkeley and her efforts to translate her research into solutions for dogs began five years ago when she found that imbalances in the canine gut microbiome are common and there is a pressing need for better approaches to maintain and restore gut health.

Why are you so passionate about gut health and the science behind it?

Do we have a pretty good handle on it or are we just scratching the surface and there’s lots more to learn?

How does the microbiome of the dog differ from that of humans?

Let’s start with the imbalances that you are finding in the canine gut microbiome. Can you talk about the different strains of bacteria and what the perfect mix would be?

Are the imbalances directly related to a dog’s diet or are there other factors?

What are some signs of a dog with an unhealthy microbiome?

In your opinion, what percentage of dogs actually have a healthy gut?

How do we get healthy bacteria into our dogs? Is it through supplementation or what are the best fresh foods to feed?

I watched a story on the news that when taking most probiotics, very few live stains actually make it to the gut. What are your thoughts?

Holly, are Winston’s results pretty typical in that most dogs do not have a healthy microbiome?

Can you walk through your Microbiome Test and the entire process?

What is unique about your Gut Health Restoration Supplement?

Your opinion on fecal transplants?

What are things that we as pet parents can do to support our dog’s gut health?

Holly, I know that when we last chatted that you mentioned clinical trial that you'll be doing with dogs with IBD. Has that started?
