Did Dogs Eat Fermented Food in the Wild?Updated 6 days ago
Did Dogs Eat Fermented Food in the Wild?
Yes! For millions of years, wild dogs and other animals consumed fermented vegetation found in the gut contents of their prey, and they buried bones and flesh for weeks before digging them up and consuming them. It’s biological and very species-appropriate. These naturally fermented foods were an important part of their diet, providing beneficial microbes, enzymes, and nutrients.
How This Relates to Gussy’s Gut®
Modern dogs don’t always have access to these natural sources of fermentation.
That’s why just 1 teaspoon per 20 lbs of body weight of Gussy’s Gut® is enough to support healthy digestion and gut balance.
Our products are designed to mimic the nutrient-dense, species-appropriate fermentation that dogs would naturally eat in the wild.
