There is a growing desire amongst pet owners to help prevent illnesses and keep their pets at optimal health, turning to food as an alternative to medicine. Digestive Health is top-of-mind, with an increasing awareness of the link between digestive health and overall health. But why are pet owners interested in digestive health and how does it impact the overall health of their dog? It all starts with the gut microbiome.
What is Gut Microbiome?
The gut microbiome, which consists of trillions of microorganisms residing in the digestive tract, plays a vital role in maintaining overall immunity and health. These microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, interact with the body's immune system and influence various physiological processes. The gut microbiome helps in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Factors such as diet, stress, medications, and overall environmental exposures can influence the composition and diversity of the gut microbiome.
Why is a Healthy Gut Microbiome important?
70% of all immune cells are located in the gut!* So it is imperative to maintain a healthy gut microbiome. And this is achieved by stimulating the growth good of beneficial bacteria whilst creating an environment which is unfavourable for the growth of bad bacteria. Maintaining this balance of good vs bad bacteria has a direct impact on digestive health, the immune system and overall health and well-being.
