Every dog deserves to be understood

Why is a healthy gut microbiome important for your dog?

The gut microbiome shapes digestion, nutrient absorption, immune response, inflammation, and even mood. In dogs, imbalances in key bacterial groups have been linked to digestive upset, skin and coat issues, weight problems, joint inflammation, and reduced vitality. A stable, diverse microbiome is one of the most consistent biological signals of healthy aging across mammals.

Is there already a solution on the market that combines dog microbiome testing, health tracking, and research to provide personalized recommendations?

No. Microbiome tests, activity trackers, and research databases exist separately, but they rarely speak to each other. Olmora connects dog's daily data with microbiome sequencing test and a research-grounded AI model so the recommendations reflect both your dog's real-life patterns and their biology, not just a generic advice.

How are inputs collected?

You can describe everything in your own words — diet changes, symptoms, behavior, activity, or anything notable — simply by talking to Olmora. Voice input is transcribed and the relevant fields are populated automatically, so you never have to fill out long daily questionnaires. Olmora learns from what you notice

How does the at-home microbiome kit work?

We send you a sterile, non-invasive stool sampling kit. You collect a small sample from your dog's regular bowel movement, seal it in the provided container, and return it with the prepaid mailer. Results are typically ready in up to one month after the lab receives the kit. We don't do the test ourselves; we work with certified and independent labs.

Is the sample collection safe and comfortable for my dog?

Yes. The collection requires only a small amount of stool from a normal potty break — no vet visit, no blood draw, and no fasting. The kit includes step-by-step instructions and a leak-proof container designed for pet owners to use at home.

What do you mean by 'PhD supervision'?

Our AI interpretation layer was powered by a scientist who earned a PhD in microbiome research. They helped designing the model's training protocols, reviewed the literature used to ground recommendations, and established quality checks for model outputs. The PhD does not personally review every individual dog report.

What data do you collect and how is it used?

We collect your email, your dog's profile (breed, age, weight, diet, activity, behavior), and the microbiome sequencing results. This data is used to generate your dog's Olmora score, personalize recommendations, and improve our models.

Can I delete my data or my dog's microbiome results?

Yes. You can request deletion of your account, reports, and raw microbiome results at any time by contacting support. These are removed from active systems within 30 days, subject to any legal retention requirements. Please note that while your personal records can be deleted, insights the model has already learned from aggregated, de-identified patterns cannot be 'unlearned' — just as a textbook cannot forget what it has read.

What are the limitations of Olmora recommendations?

The Olmora score and recommendations are wellness insights, not medical diagnoses or guaranteed outcomes. They do not replace a veterinarian's judgment, especially for sick, pregnant, or medicated dogs. Genetics, environment, and unknown health conditions can all influence longevity beyond what tracker and microbiome data can predict.

How often should I retest the microbiome?

We recommend retesting every 3–6 months while you are actively adjusting diet or supplements. The right cadence depends on your dog's current health and personal score: dogs with lower scores or ongoing issues may benefit from testing closer to every 3 months, while stable, healthy dogs can wait closer to 6. This lets you see whether your dog's microbiome is shifting in the direction the protocol intends. The tracker can be updated daily for a continuously refined score.
