The gut microbiome is EVERYTHING! A dog’s gut microbiome is the foundation of good health and that occurs when there is a healthy balance between the good (helpful) and bad (potentially harmful) bacteria and yeast in their digestive system. In humans, clinical study has shown that 80% of the immune system is in the gut, and the majority of the body’s serotonin (“happy neurotransmitter”) is produced in the gut. We believe this is a similar situation with dogs. An unhealthy gut for dogs means that not only is their gut digestion unhealthy but so is their immune system. A non-functioning immune system means a dog is more likely to get sick. Canine gut health can affect their immune system, energy levels, and even organ function – so achieving gut health will help to ensure a healthy, happy, and active life.
What factors effect a dog's gut health?
- Age
- Disease
- Poor nutrition can harm the beneficial bacteria in a dog’s gut contributing to or cause inflammation throughout the body.
- Antibiotics decrease the diversity of bacteria within the gut, which can significantly impact many aspects critical to health and well being
- Environmental factors
Why is a dog's gut health so important?
A healthy gut helps in the avoidance of sickness and it aids in the digestion of the foods the dog eats helping the dog better absorb nutrients and vitamins needed to fuel and maintain a healthy body, coat and energy. In addition, a healthy gut helps maintain a healthy balance of serotonin and hormones all of which affect your dog’s mood and disposition. The composition of a healthy gut also has significant positive effects on immune function, and regulates the local production of antibodies which is so beneficial in protection against disease and sickness
Healthy Gut Restore FMT capsules are sourced from Dr. Margo Roman's exceptional multi-generational, donor dog network who have superior microbiomes due to years of diligent care and have contributed to more than 20,000 FMT Treatments.
With this carefully curated, health-conscious donor network, our FMT products are crafted to deliver superior support for your dog’s digestive health and overall vitality—while honouring sustainability and animal welfare principles.
The Legacy Biome Difference
By only using Dr. Roman's donor dogs, along with our manufacturing expertise, we are confident that our FMT capsules can optimize your dogs microbiome and lead to many health benefits.
Since 1996, Dr. Margo Roman has raised genetically tested poodles for 6 generations all at a green sustainable home on virgin woods in New England. She has personally looked after her dog’s fresh, organic and raw diet as well as healthcare with a focus on holistic and integrative medical care. Her dogs have never had antibiotics, NSAIDs or been exposed to pesticides. Never had flea or tick chemicals placed on them and their water is free of chlorine and fluoride. The donor dogs have been minimally vaccinated and titered. They have been born vaginally to ensure optimal passage of the mother's microbiome.
Canine FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant) involves transferring fecal matter from a healthy donor dog to a recipient dog's gastrointestinal tract to restore the balance of healthy gut bacteria. Here are some of the main benefits of canine FMT:
- Shown to be effective for various digestive disorders in dogs, such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, and Clostridium difficile infection.
- Helps improve the balance of gut bacteria, which can lead to better digestion, absorption of nutrients, and a stronger immune system.
- Can reduce the need for antibiotics, thereby minimizing the risk of antibiotic-associated side effects.
- Cost effective. Canine FMT treatment is a relatively cost-effective treatment option compared to other treatments for digestive disorders in dogs, such as long-term antibiotic therapy or surgery.
- Safe and minimally invasive procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis, with few reported side effects.

From Dr. Conor Brady:
"PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY BACTERIAL PROBIOTICS I NOW USE...
There is one probiotic product out there that I do love, and love more and more each day. That is FMT - faecal microbial transplantation. Poo pills. Crapsules. Call them what you will. All we get is the chronically gut sick dogs here, been through 2 or 3 vets before they get to you so we can with a little authority that these babies WORK. And it's small surprise they do. Afterall, it's gut flora from a healthy dog given to an unhealthy dog. Simply.
And the science behind these bad boys is incredible. Nature wins again. "
