Decades of research into the microbiome and nutritional interventions such as prebiotics and probiotics reveals how diet influences the gut microbiome and ultimately contributes to pet health.​

Heart disease invariably progresses, but it does not always lead to heart failure. The prognosis depends on the pet’s overall health, the type of heart disease and its rate of progression.

Discover the importance of Lean Body Mass (LBM) in overall health for dogs and cats, and the role a high-protein diet can play in slowing LBM loss.

Learn about new roles for nutrients for pets with heart disease.

Learn about adverse food reactions and how hydrolyzed protein diets can be used for the management of certain skin and gastrointestinal conditions.

Postbiotics contain dead microorganisms and/or their components, but they still provide biological benefits for the microbiome and overall health. Learn more about this emerging topic in microbiome science.

Prebiotics are dietary fibers that offer important nutritional interventions for preventive gut health and the management of health conditions.

Water is an essential nutrient and is considered the nutrient most critical for survival. Losses in body water of just 10-15% can cause death, with animals able to tolerate much higher fat or protein losses.

Preventing and managing excess weight can help dogs and cats lead better, and importantly, longer lives.
