If you’ve ever shopped for dog supplements, surely you’ve seen these health heroes in the spotlight: fiber and prebiotics. They’re prized for their ability to regulate beneficial bacteria in the gut. But while they may be positioned as the stars of the show, the truth is that fermented food is just as critical for your dog’s health and happiness.
In fact, a diet supplemented by prebiotics and fiber alone isn’t enough to maintain a thriving microbiome. Did you know that not all fibers are equally beneficial, and some (cheap) ones can even upset digestion? That’s why we want you to know all about the advantages of fermentation—and how this kind of food can take your dog’s health to new heights.
The limitless benefits of fermentation
Fermentation happens when food comes into contact with beneficial bacteria and healthy yeasts. This process leads to microbes “eating” sugars and creating postbiotics, or compounds that support gut health.
Essentially, fermentation is nature’s way of “pre-digesting” nutrients by breaking them down to smaller absorbable parts and unlocking the nutrients so your dog’s digestion can make use of them easily. This makes them more bioavailable to your dog’s cells. Which means your dog can make use of them immediately.
Your dog is not what they eat. It’s what they absorb. This is overlooked by most pet owners and is at the heart of everything we do.
The benefits of fermented food are remarkable: improved digestion, enhanced nutrient absorption, a stronger immune system, reduced anti-nutrients, increased vitamins and minerals, and detoxification.
This goes beyond just the digestive tract. It translates into better brain, skin, and organ function.
Fermentation in every product: Why it matters
Our powerful products feature fermented plant ingredients for superior gut support. Unlike many supplements that use cheap prebiotic powders (like low-quality FOS) and gimmicks, Gussy’s Gut is 100% whole-food focused. Our supplements include fermented ingredients like broccoli, carrots, sunchokes, moringa, dandelion, and more to preserve their natural complexity.
Boost™: The “reset” part of our proven protocol is also fermented! It has 19 powerfully combined ingredients that are designed to reboot your pet’s gut by reducing inflammation and detoxifying to prep the gut for the maintenance phase.
Sustain™: This is a daily 9-ingredient fermented prebiotic blend that feeds the good bacteria in your dog’s gut and allows them to multiply in your pet’s gut (which is required for health). In 3 months, you can see incredible changes in your dog, including better stools, improved sleep, a healthier coat and skin condition, reduced anxiety and calmness, and boosted neurological function.
Youthful Grasses & Sprouts™: Do more by adding in 7 additional premium fermented grasses and sprouts that are antioxidant-rich and deeply nourishing. It's easy to add these rare, valuable ingredients as a topper or mix-in! From organic wheatgrass to organic alfalfa sprouts, these ingredients are nature’s finest and not in any other pet food or supplement.
GutAbles™: Real-food treats with the same fermented goodness — perfect for gut-friendly rewards between meals.
