I Finally Found Why My Dog Was Overweight

For a few years now, I’ve been trying to understand why my dog Benji struggled to lose weight despite doing everything “right”. We reduced his food, kept him active, balanced his meals carefully, and still the progress was slow. That eventually led me down the rabbit hole of the canine microbiome. In this video, I go through: - how the microbiome can influence metabolism and calorie extraction - how antibiotics and neutering may have affected Benji - what microbiome testing actually shows - Benji’s microbiome results from 2024 vs 2026 - why certain bacteria may make weight loss harder - what we tried to improve his gut health - and why we’re now moving onto FMT (faecal microbiota transplantation) This isn’t just about weight. The microbiome may also influence digestion, skin health, immunity, inflammation, and even behaviour, so watch if you want to learn more 00:00 Intro ----- Buy natural supplements for your dog here: https://www.dogslounge.co.uk You can follow Dog's Lounge at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dogslounge Instagram: https://instagram.com/dogsloungeuk TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dogsloungeuk Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/dogslounge #doghealth #dognutrition #microbiome #dogmicrobiome #microbiometesting #dogweighloss #guthealth
