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>

What can I expect from natural pet food?

<div class="metafield-rich_text_field"><p>Our recipes are made with minimally processed, natural ingredients. Because we use natural ingredients and avoid over-processing, you might notice slight variations in size, texture, and smell from batch to batch - this is totally normal! Occasionally, you may also come across small oat fibres, small bone fragments, or visible pieces of carrots and other ingredients. Rest assured, these are perfectly safe for your furry friends and are part of what makes Scrumbles both tasty and wholesome for them. If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to drop us a message.</p></div>
