Can I Use Gussy’s Gut® Instead of My Dog’s Therapeutic Supplements?
We recommend that any supplements or nutrients your dog requires at a “therapeutic dose” — meaning a minimum dose prescribed by your veterinarian — continue to come from a standardized form. Standardized supplements are not whole food-based, but they guarantee the required dose.
How Gussy’s Gut® Differs
Gussy's Gut is made from 100% whole foods, so the nutrients fall into a different category. According to Dr. Ian Billinghurst:
The body recognizes and processes whole food nutrients naturally.
Any nutrient the body doesn’t need on a particular day is discarded naturally.
Because of this, we cannot promise or label exact amounts of nutrients in grams, milligrams, or micrograms.
Potential Benefits of Fermented Foods with Supplements
Human studies suggest that fermented foods may help the body better absorb other nutrients, supplements, and medications. While we cannot guarantee this effect for dogs, it is reasonable to explore.
We recommend feeding fermented foods like Gussy’s Gut® alongside your dog’s medications and supplements if they are prescribed, as they may support nutrient absorption and overall gut health.
Important Note: Gussy’s Gut® is not a replacement for therapeutic supplements prescribed by your vet. Always follow your veterinarian’s guidance for prescribed doses.
