A Cat’s Healthy Gut Starts Here

Since 2016 we have used advanced microbiome science to test, restore, and maintain the gut microbiome of tens of thousands of cats. See how our tests and supplement products can help your cat!

1. Testing. It's useful and interesting but not required. The Starter Pack is the Gut Restore plus one test and the Gut Restore System is the Gut Restore Supplement plus two tests.
2. Gut Maintenance (GMP): This is more like an emergency pill for diarrhea. This has s. boulardii and will help your cat on runny days to get back to solid.
3. Gut Restore: This is the flagship product. This one does all the heavy lifting for your cat. This is dried poop from carefully screened donor cats. This is not s. boulardii, and it's not just a small sample of strains like probiotic products. This has both bacteria strains and bacteria-eating microbes that help eat the wrong kinds of bacteria. A healthy biome is more than a handful of strains. This is actually what makes the testing so interesting.

You are going to have to find a way to pill Leroy or have Leroy pill himself. There is poop in these pills. You cannot open them and mix them with food. Leroy will not appreciate this. Also the coating of the capsules ensures that everything survives the stomach and opens where it's needed--in the gut. If you cannot get Leroy to take the pills whole, then don't even bother with this product.

For Betty, she already takes a capsule of other other pills (I repack quarter pills into a small gelatin capsule for her) and hide it in the smallest amount of food, and place that on the carpet. I'm counting on her to not be very thorough with her chewing. And most mornings she wasn't. She would take up the food coated capsule, bite once or twice, and then swallow. Out of 30 poop pills, she opened only two of them. Only one of them opened in her mouth. The other one opened on the carpet. I can verify there is poop in these pills.

The difference between FMT and probiotics has been night and day. I really want to see the second report already. But I'm considering another month because of the stark improvement we have seen. She started the month barely eating with lots of nausea and weekly hairballs. Within a week, she was eating her portions on her own e.g. not relying on me to trick her with carpet morsels (because for some reason when she's nauseated, she'll eat a bite off the carpet but not off the plate.) Her hairballs almost completely disappeared that month except for a heatwave hairball in week three. Unfortunately, the ultrasound still says she's inflamed and we're still proceeding with an endoscopy with biopsy in a couple of weeks. But I do look forward to seeing the second report and possibly starting her on another course after the endo is done.

I'm attaching Betty's report so you can see the kind of information that is included with the testing. The sample that was used in this report was before we started the pills. It looks an awful lot like Betty was a kibble addict before she came to me. Hopefully the month of poop pills have gone a ways to correcting those imbalances.
