Why Daily Support Matters
Envision your dog’s gut as a diverse garden: every so often, you have to tend to it for it to thrive. As their owner, you are essentially the “gardener,” the one who’s responsible for maintaining optimal health. Fortunately, you can successfully reset an imbalance in your dog’s gut with the help of our 19-ingredient Boost™ formula, which supports healing, detoxification, and inflammation.
But did you know that your dog’s gut cells turn over and regenerate starting in just 3–5 days, and over the period of 90 days is when you see most of the greatest benefits? Essentially, the health of their digestive system depends on consistency — while a reset is powerful, lasting balance comes from daily nourishment that keeps beneficial bacteria active and diverse.
Without daily support, progress can fade quickly.
This is where the “maintain” part of our proven gut-health protocol comes in.
Vets and pet owners have told us, the results Gussy’s Gut delivers become glaringly clear once you stop feeding it — and they disappear.
This is because the slow changes over time can be taken for granted. You don’t know what you’ve lost until it’s gone.
Why Ongoing Gut Support Matters
First things first: gut cells regenerate fast, which means they need consistent tending. If you don’t actively combat the daily forces that hinder gut integrity and the tight junctions of the gut wall (i.e., pesticides in our environment, medicines, vaccinations, park lawns, neighbors’ grass, foods, and even air), any progress made from a gut reset won’t go as far as you need it to.
Folks, we didn’t have these concerns before the 1950s. This is when most of what damages and degrades our gut has primarily happened since then. This includes modern farming practices and the chemicals created after World War II and their commercialization.
We see gut health almost like a daily game of tug of war — forces against vs. supportive forces. Of course, your goal as your dog’s owner is to achieve stronger support than the forces against. This is how you and your dog “win.”
Just like humans, seasonal changes can roll back hard-earned progress, whether from boredom, stress, or diet shifts. That’s why it’s critical to maintain daily support, which leads to resilience, steady energy, and stronger immunity.
The Role of Dietary Diversity
The key to a resilient microbiome? A variety of foods. For example, each type of whole food — from proteins and fiber to fats and fermented ingredients that unlock more nutrients — fuels and multiplies different species of beneficial gut bacteria (probiotics). Every ingredient has a job to do, and the wider the spectrum, the wider the benefits.
When the microbiome is sufficiently diverse and the good bacteria get what they need to thrive, it’s better able to handle stress, fight pathogens, and recover from disruptions like antibiotics or illness. On the other hand, limited diversity in the gut (which can come from feeding the same kibble every day, for example) can make your dog more susceptible to allergies, intolerances, and digestive issues.
A diverse diet leads to a diverse gut — which in turn leads to better health.
This is where our products come in and fit together.
The Role Sustain™ Plays
Meet the “maintain” part of our proven protocol: Reset → Maintain → Delight.
Sustain: This formula consists of nine fermented superfoods chosen for digestion, mood, and immunity.
Full ingredient list: 100% organic and fermented broccoli, carrots, parsley, dandelion leaf, cilantro, apple, moringa, holy basil, and plantain.
The fermented ingredients in this formula support bioavailability and natural prebiotic diversity. Prebiotics in your dog’s diet help to prevent overgrowth of harmful bacteria, maintain strong responses to threats like pathogens, regulate fat storage and metabolism, and produce neurotransmitters like serotonin that positively influence mood.
Sustain is the next logical mix of gut nutrients after you reset with Boost™. It’s also more affordable — and is meant for everyday use. As a loving, caring dog owner, consider subscribing to Sustain™ to keep the gains going with consistent, everyday support!
