Saving Lives Through Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment of Infections with Modern DNA Sequencing Technology
Introducing the easy-to-use MiDOG All-in-One Pet Microbiome Test, powered by next-generation DNA sequencing.
MiDOG is designed for complex cases where traditional testing may not provide the full picture, including culture-negative infections, mixed infections, recurrent UTIs, chronic otitis, non-healing wounds, dermatologic flares, and high-impact cases where an unresolved infection can progress quickly.
We screen every sample against our database of:
- Bacteria: 64,800
- Fungi: 4,100
- Parasites: 4,300
- Antibiotic Resistance Markers: 6,000
- Biofilm Genes: 92
- Toxin Genes: 121
MiDOG provides the fastest turnaround time on the market. Get results in 2-3 days!
MiDOG samples are stable at room temperature for up to one year. Collect now. Ship when ready.

What is MiDOG Microbiome Testing?
The MiDOG Microbiome Test is a DNA-based microbial identification assay designed to support the evaluation of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections in companion animals. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS), the test provides veterinarians with species-level microbial identification and antimicrobial resistance insights to help guide informed treatment decisions.
Unlike traditional culture methods, which depend on organism growth and may miss non-culturable or fastidious microbes, MiDOG testing analyzes microbial DNA directly from the sample, providing broader detection and a more comprehensive view of the microbial community.
Results are delivered in 2-3 business days. All testing is performed at MiDOG’s advanced diagnostic laboratory, and veterinarians receive a detailed report outlining identified bacteria, fungi, and parasites along with resistance insights to support targeted care.
How MiDOG Can Help
Pathogen Identification
Broad Microbial Detection: Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria, Fungi, and Parasites – Independent of Culture
Detect Antibiotic Resistance
Profiling of Antibiotic Resistance to Aid Good Antibiotics Stewardship
Why MiDOG is Better
Did you know 99% of organisms cannot be cultured in the lab and are thus missed upon analysis?
Compared to traditional culture-based tests, the MiDOG Microbiome Test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze microbial DNA directly from the sample. This culture-independent approach enables broad detection of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic organisms and provides antimicrobial resistance insights to help guide informed treatment decisions. By expanding detection beyond growth-dependent methods, clinicians can act sooner and support responsible antibiotic stewardship.
If you are exhausted and frustrated by multiple tests performed with no accurate diagnosis, then the MiDOG All-in-One DNA-based Test may be the solution for you.
Next-Generation Sequencing is a molecular-based method used in MiDOG’s microbiome testing to identify microbial DNA without requiring organisms to grow in a laboratory first. This technology supports species-level identification and comprehensive microbial profiling, helping veterinarians better understand the microbial landscape of a patient’s sample. Results are delivered in 2–3 business days to support timely clinical decision-making.
