• It’s #MicrobiomeMonday! 🦠 How does oral health affect gut microbiome health? Organisms that live harmoniously in one part of the body can cause trouble when they’re relocated to another part. When bacteria that belong in the mouth migrate to the gut (traveling along with the saliva that gets swallowed), they can disrupt the gut microbiome and cause immune responses that may lead to disease. In humans, oral bacteria and the inflammation associated with severe gum disease (periodontitis) are known to play a role in many diseases of the rest of the body. Studies have shown that imbalances in the oral microbiome can cause bronchitis, pneumonia, diabetes, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arthritis, Alzheimer’s, and cancer. When researchers looked at the gut microbiomes of people with IBD, for example, they found microbes that normally reside in the mouth: two strains of a particular oral bacterium called Klebsiella were shown to trigger the immune responses associated with Crohn’s disease and colitis. To learn how good oral health can support your pet’s gut microbiome, read our blog.

  • #AnimalBiomePets 💕🐱 “Bella is doing so much better. Her inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is improving, thanks to @animal.biome! I am still being super cautious because Bella still has a lot working against her with IBD, diabetes, and pancreatitis. Despite all this, she seems happy. At least once a day, she aggressively demands cuddles. She is also stretching out more when she's napping. So, fingers crossed, we are out of the woods, and Bella can now be a happy, healthy, silly cat.” —Megan H. We 💗 hearing from pet parents!

  • It’s #ShelterPetSaturday! Meet Momma with the beautiful green eyes. 💚📷 @oaklandanimalservices Here’s what OAS has to say about her, “Momma is a sweet, shy young girl who just finished raising her first (and last) litter. Now it’s her turn to get all the love and attention she deserves! Momma is shy and scared at first, but put a meat tube or yogurt in front of her and she warms up immediately. Once you’ve gained her trust, she’ll eat treats from your hand and enjoys playing and rolling around like a kitten. Momma loves scratches on her cheeks, head, and neck with an extendable back scratcher—occasional hand pets are okay, but she's still working on that. She mostly hangs out in her cat tent or hammock during the day, but once the sun sets, she’s ready to play! Because she’s still working on her confidence and tiny humans scare her, we think Momma would do best in an adult-only home.

  • Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day! 🐱🐶 According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an estimated 60% of cats and 56% of dogs were overweight or obese in 2018. And each year pet obesity is becoming more prevalent. Obese cats and dogs are at increased risk of developing diabetes, arthritis, kidney disease, cancer, and more. Did you know that specific gut bacteria can signal your pet’s body to either speed up or slow down their metabolism? 🦠 Overweight pets tend to have certain characteristic elements of their gut microbiome that may make them more prone to gain weight. Keeping a healthy and balanced distribution of gut bacteria may help protect your pet against weight gain. How do you know if your pet’s weight is healthy? Your veterinarian can assess your pet’s weight and overall health and make recommendations regarding your pet’s weight, diet and exercise. For more information go to PetObesityPrevention.org. If you’re curious about the status of your pet’s gut health, test their microbiome with AnimalBiome’s Gut Health Test.
