At-Home Gut Tests - Behind the Scoop: How Innovative Pet Lab’s At-Home Gut Tests Unlock Your Pet’s Digestive Health
Your pet’s gut is more than just a place where food is digested - it’s the cornerstone of their overall health. About 70% of your pet’s immune system lives in the gut, making it vital to keep it balanced and healthy. But how can you know what’s really going on inside? That’s where Innovative Pet Lab’s at-home gut tests come in.
Why Gut Testing Matters
If your pet suffers from skin issues, allergies, digestive troubles, or low energy, the root cause often lies in the gut. Instead of masking symptoms, gut testing provides a deeper look at the underlying imbalances so you can take targeted action.
Types of Gut Tests
- Comprehensive Gut Check (Dogs): Measures markers of inflammation (like calprotectin), digestion (pancreatic elastase), immunity (secretory IgA), and gut barrier function (zonulin, antigliadin-IgA). This test provides a holistic overview of gut health.
- Leaky Gut Test: Focuses on gut barrier integrity. A compromised gut lining allows toxins and allergens to enter the bloodstream, causing systemic inflammation. This test is ideal for pets with allergies, chronic GI symptoms, or skin problems.
- Other Panels: Innovative Pet Lab also offers specialized tests for inflammation, immunity, digestion, and detox pathways.
What Do The Results Mean?
- Zonulin & Antigliadin-IgA: Indicate the strength of the gut barrier.
- Calprotectin & Secretory IgA: Reveal inflammation levels and immune activity in the gut.
- Pancreatic Elastase: Shows how well your pet digests and absorbs nutrients.
- Beta-glucuronidase: Provides insight into detox and microbial balance.
These markers reveal whether your pet's digestive system is thriving or struggling, guiding you toward personalized solutions.
