What is the microbiome?

The microbiome is the community of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms that live in your dog's digestive system.

These microbes help break down food, support nutrient absorption, produce beneficial compounds, and maintain digestive balance. When the microbiome is healthy and diverse, it supports digestion, immunity, and overall wellness. When it becomes imbalanced, digestive issues and other health challenges can follow.

Supporting the microbiome through nutrition — with whole foods and functional ingredients like prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics — helps maintain long-term digestive health.
