What's in the bowl

Real food your dog's gut can use.

Every Gussy's Gut® ingredient is a whole food: vegetables, roots, herbs, fruits, young grasses and sprouts. Most are fermented for two weeks to pre-digest tough plant walls, so more of the good stuff reaches the gut garden.

Every whole food in every Gussy's Gut® powder and treat.
