Nestlé translates analysis of pet's gut microbiome data into tailored nutrition and supplement recommendation

April 4, 2024

The dog and cat's body is host to trillions of microbes with the highest populations residing in their gut, the so-called gut microbiome. It plays a vital role in health and well-being, so understanding a pet's microbiome enables owners to provide proactive health care.

Nestlé's recently launched Petivity Microbiome Analysis Kit in the U.S. helps to deliver tailored nutrition and supplement recommendations for dogs and cats based on their unique gut profile. Through science-based sequencing technology of a pet's microbiome, the new analysis kit is designed to unlock key gut health and nutrition information by the analysis of bacteria present in the gut.

Nutritionists, behaviorists, veterinarians and data scientists from Nestlé R&D leveraged their expertise in gut integrity and microbial diversity, showing Nestlé's translational capabilities in pet care.
