Abstract
The microbiome is an amazing ecosystem of microorganisms that inhabit the bodies of various living creatures. Each species has its own unique microbiome, specific to its physiology and lifestyle. This article provides an overview of the most important functions of the canine and feline microbiome and examines the impact on their health and overall well-being.
