“…The intestinal presence of biochemical parameters such as urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, total cholesterol, uric acid, triglycerides, and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been reported in dogs ( Forster et al, 2018 ; Kilburn et al, 2020 ). These parameters are commonly measured in serum to evaluate the health condition of humans ( Gazzola et al, 2004 ; Weiner et al, 2015 ) and the general well-being of domestic animals ( Kozat & Sepehrizadeh, 2017 ).
