What are prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics?

<div class="metafield-rich_text_field"><p>Great question! These are all gut-friendly ingredients we use to enrich our dry food recipes and support your pet’s gut health, which plays a big role in their digestion, immunity, and overall wellbeing. Prebiotics are types of fibre that feed the good bacteria already living in your pet’s gut, like Slippery Elm and Inulin. Probiotics are the live, friendly bacteria themselves, which help to balance the gut microbiome and crowd out bad bacteria. The specific probiotic we use is Enterococcus Faecium, known for its poop-perfecting qualities. Finally, postbiotics are the beneficial compounds that probiotics naturally produce, which help support gut lining, immunity, and nutrient absorption.</p></div>

Is this recipe suitable for large breed dogs and puppies?

<div class="metafield-rich_text_field"><p>Yes! Our Salmon Dry Dog Food is suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes including larger breeds such as golden retrievers and german shepherds. It’s made with omega-rich salmon and white fish, which is gentle on sensitive tummies, and contains added glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health. This is something especially important for bigger dogs who can put more strain on their joints. We've also designed this recipe with a larger kibble size to suit medium to large breeds, helping to encourage chewing. It’s also a great option for large breed puppies, who develop more slowly and benefit from controlled calories and joint support during their extended growth phase.</p></div>

Is this recipe suitable for dogs with pancreatitis?

<div class="metafield-rich_text_field"><p>If your dog has pancreatitis, you might be advised by your vet to seek a recipe that is low in fat to help reduce strain on the pancreas. Our Salmon Dry Dog Food contains 11% fat, which is considered low compared to many standard recipes and may be suitable for dogs with mild to moderate pancreatitis. That said, suitability can vary depending on your dog’s individual needs and your vet’s recommended fat threshold, especially in more severe cases. We always recommend consulting your vet before making any dietary changes for dogs with pancreatitis.</p></div>

Why are some of your recipes grain free and others gluten free?

<div class="metafield-rich_text_field"><p>We know every floof is different, so we offer both grain-free and gluten-free recipes to suit different dietary needs.
