20 Nov 2025
Gallery Suite 15-16
What does dysbiosis actually mean? The microbiome has become central to conversations around health, welfare, and nutrition, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood areas in veterinary practice. In this session, Dr Bushra Schuitemaker will decode the buzzwords surrounding gut health, supplements, and the microbiome. Drawing on new research from BIOME9, she will explore the latest science behind the gut-skin axis, chronic enteropathies, and neurological links in dogs. Attendees will gain practical insights into how to measure, interpret, and address dysbiosis in-clinic, using microbiome testing as an adjuvant diagnostic tool and complementary therapy in complex cases.
- Define dysbiosis and diversity, and understand key terms in microbiome and gut health.
- Recognise why dysbiosis matters in clinical practice.
- Learn how to measure and rebalance the microbiome (with case studies).
- Explore the future of gut health and microbiome-based therapies in veterinary medicine.
