The intestinal microbiota is involved in everyday physiological processes of the animal host. Alteration in the composition of this ecosystem, referred as dysbiosis, is closely related to various disorders, including acute and chronic gastrointestinal infections. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), is a novel procedure involving the administration of a faecal sample from a healthy animal donor to a patient with a disease. The exact mechanism of action has not been identified yet, but it is believed that not only bacteria but also viruses, fungi and protists and other microorganisms may exert positive influence on the gut’s environment and functions. FMT as an alternative to standard, antibiotic therapy is a promising prospect for treating some disorders, especially in Clostridioides difficile infection and acute or chronic enteropathies. In veterinary medicine, FMT remains in the early stages of research. Here, key aspects of FMT in canine medicine are outlined and research focused on the introduction this method for in the treatment of infectious gastrointestinal disorders in dogs is reviewed.
