How it's made
Farm to bowl.
Whole organic foods from farms we know, a two-week wild fermentation, a gentle dry, and one teaspoon in the bowl.
Four steps
From the field to the teaspoon.
Whole organic foods
Cabbage, kale, beet, turmeric, blueberry and the rest. Whole, not extracted.
Two-week wild fermentation
No shortcuts. Fermentation creates probiotics and postbiotics and makes the food easier for the gut to use.
Gently dried
Dried to keep what fermentation made, so it stays shelf-stable for two years.
Add, stir, and serve
One teaspoon per 20 lb, a splash of water, stirred into the food you already feed.
Our standards
What every bag has to pass
- eco
Organic and clean
Free of toxins, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. That's the minimum, not the goal.
- factory
Small batch, made in the USA
Small runs mean every batch is watched. It's also why we never need preservatives.
- block
No preservatives, ever
Companies making millions of bags at a time need them. We don't.
- schedule
Two-year shelf life
Sealed and shelf-stable: two years unopened, a year after opening, in the pantry.
- inventory_2
Packaging that keeps air out
Every pouch is built to minimize air and moisture transfer. It's part of why the powder stays good without additives.
- handshake
Farmers we know
The company runs on relationships with the best growers, makers and experts we can find.
The step we guard
Wild fermentation.
All of the fermented ingredients ferment together, as one batch, for two weeks. Our proprietary wild fermentation process, led by three master fermenters, is designed to minimize the sodium typically produced during fermentation, and it is a trade secret we've invested years and significant resources to perfect.
We don't disclose the specifics. It's the competitive advantage behind everything we make, and protecting it is how we keep it yours.
Why whole, fermented foods
Fiber the gut can use
Whole plants bring the fiber that gives good microbes somewhere to stay.
Made, not added
Fermentation creates probiotics and postbiotics. We don't add isolated strains.
Nothing synthetic
No fillers, no flavorings. The ingredient list is the whole list.

Questions
Questions about how it's made
Where do the ingredients come from?
Organic farms we have relationships with, and the powders are made in small batches in the USA. Organic and clean is the minimum, and everything is fermented, never baked, extruded or cooked.
How should I store it?
Sealed, in the pantry, at room temperature. No refrigeration. Two years unopened; use within a year of opening.
Why no preservatives?
Small batches don't sit in a warehouse for a year, and the pouch keeps air and moisture out. Nothing needs to be added to keep it good.
Is it a food?
Legally, no. Gussy's Gut® products are supplements made from 100% food that go on top of your dog's food.
