Intestinal microbiome in beagles dogs with different diets

This study aimed to compare feeding dry food (DF) and water-softened dry food (SDF) on intestinal microbiome in dogs. Our results found that the SDF group had higher alpha diversity indices (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the SDF group had higher levels of Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Escherichia_Shigella, and lower levels of Faecalibacterium (p < 0.05).
