How it works
Add, stir, and serve.
1
Measure
1 teaspoon per 20 lb of body weight, once a day. Sustain™ is ½ teaspoon.
2
Stir
Add a splash of water and stir it into the food. Never dry.
3
Serve
Kibble, raw or home-cooked. New to it? Start with a quarter of the dose and build up over one to two weeks.
Two rules
The only two things that matter
- water_drop
Never feed the dry powder on its own
Always mix it into wet food or a little liquid (water, broth), so a dog can't inhale it. This is the one real safety rule.
- local_fire_department
Never cook it
Heat degrades what fermentation made. Stir it into food after cooking, not before.
Fussy eaters
Most dogs love it. For the rest, a few tricks.
Fermentation makes vegetables slightly sweeter, so most dogs take to it immediately. Fewer than 1% of dogs have ever needed the taste guarantee.
For a finicky dog: mix it with the food they love most (fish oil, tuna water, kefir, a little coconut milk or yogurt), roll it into a coconut-oil ball or a meatball, or hand-feed it mixed with meat for the first few days. Start with a quarter of the dose and build to the full amount over one to two weeks.
Questions
Dosing questions
How much do I feed?
1 teaspoon per 20 lb of body weight, once a day, for every powder. Sustain™ is ½ teaspoon per 20 lb; Fiber & Fortifier™ is 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per 20 lb, depending on how much fiber your dog needs. Mix it into food with a splash of water, never dry, and never cook it.
Start low, go slow: what does that mean?
Begin with about a quarter of the daily amount and build up to the full teaspoon per 20 lb over one to two weeks. It gives your dog time to get used to a new food.
How long does a bag last?
7.5 oz is 97 teaspoons; 3 oz is 39. At 1 teaspoon per 20 lb a day, a 7.5 oz bag lasts 97 days for a dog up to 20 lb, 48 days for 21–40 lb, 32 days for 41–60 lb, 24 days for 61–80 lb. The 90-Day Reset sizes the bags for you.
Will my dog eat it?
Most dogs do. Fermentation makes vegetables slightly sweeter, which is the taste dogs reach for. For a fussy dog, mix it with the food they love most (fish oil, tuna water, kefir, a little coconut milk), roll it into a meatball, or hand-feed it with meat for the first few days. Dr. Billinghurst's short video on finicky dogs is at gussysgut.com/finicky.
Can I give more than one powder a day?
Yes. Boost™ or Sustain™ is the base; Youthful Grasses & Sprouts™ and Fiber & Fortifier™ can be added to the same bowl. Each at its own dose.
Over 140 lb?
Keep the ratio: one teaspoon per 20 lb. A 160 lb dog gets eight teaspoons a day, split between meals if you like.

Why 90 days? Guts change slowly. Stools often shift first, and skin and coat take longer, so we ask you to wait until day 90 to judge it.
