We ran a poll with dog owners. Two things stood out — and they shaped exactly what Olmora is building.
Most owners say
"I don't know which symptoms are serious and which aren't."
The biggest pain point wasn't lack of love — it was lack of clarity. Owners want a clear signal when something needs attention and when it's okay to wait.
These everyday signs are often the earliest signals of deeper health shifts. Catching them early — with real biology, not guesswork — is what gives owners more healthy years with their dogs.
That's why Olmora pairs daily tracking with an at-home microbiome kit — so you stop guessing and start knowing.
How it works
Three simple steps to clarity.
Digital first, science layered in as trust grows.
01
Daily intelligence
Builds habit, trust, and longitudinal context. Log diet, activity, behaviour and breed details. A minute a day builds a baseline that actually reflects your dog.
02
Science layer
Connects daily life with real biology. At-home non-invasive microbiome testing kit adds objective biological evidence through trusted laboratory partners.
03
Personalized protocols
Turns insight into recurring action. Evidence-based nutrition and supplement plans adapt to each dog’s profile, progress, and future test results.
Sample report
What the AI interpretation actually returns.
This is a sample report showing how Olmora will present your dog's data once we begin processing kits. The panels below are a potential representation — not results from a completed pilot — combining simulated sequencing output with tracker-style inputs.

AI interpretation
Finn's gut community is diverse and stable, with a healthy bile-acid converting population. The limiting factor is butyrate production: Faecalibacterium sits 24% below the reference band for adult large-breed dogs, which tracks with the inflammation sub-score of 71 and the low-fibre profile logged in the tracker. This is a correctable, diet-led gap rather than a structural one — which is why the projection is positive.
Recommended next steps
DietWeeks 1–6
Add 1 tsp/day of resistant-starch fibre
Faecalibacterium is 24% below the healthy-adult reference band. Fermentable fibre is the most consistent lever for butyrate producers in canine cohorts.
SupplementWeeks 1–12
Omega-3 at 55 mg EPA+DHA per kg
Inflammation sub-score sits at 71. Marine omega-3 at this dose is associated with reduced inflammatory markers and better joint scores in older dogs.
ActivityOngoing
Two 20-minute sniff walks, low intensity
Mobility is strong. Preserve it with frequency over intensity, and log recovery so we can hold the mobility sub-score above 90.
RetestMonth 6
Repeat microbiome kit in 6 months
A second sequencing round tells us whether the protocol actually moved the gut, or whether we escalate to a targeted probiotic.

The science
An AI trained by a microbiome PhD from ETH Zurich.
Raw sequencing data is meaningless without interpretation. Our model was powered by an ETH Zurich PhD in microbiome research, trained on peer-reviewed canine and mammalian gut literature. Every recommendation traces back to published evidence — not guesswork, not marketing.
Peer-reviewed foundation
Recommendations are grounded in published microbiome and canine nutrition research.
Expert-supervised model
Outputs are checked against protocols defined by our ETH Zurich microbiome PhD.
Signal, not noise
Taxa and metabolic pathways linked to inflammation, digestion and healthy aging.
Re-tested over time
Repeat kits show whether the protocol is actually shifting your dog's gut.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about the microbiome kit, our scientific claims, how we handle your data, and what our AI can and cannot do.
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 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 'ETH PhD supervision'?
Our AI interpretation layer was powered by a scientist who earned a PhD in microbiome research from ETH Zurich. 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 longevity 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.
