Our read The ingredients
A real prebiotic with modest reach
Signature feature
Microbiome Balance
Prebiotic fiber for gut health & immune support
What it is Microbiome Balance comes from dried chicory root, a source of fermentable inulin, listed 14th in the kibble, just ahead of potassium chloride and salt.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Inulin feeds some gut bacteria. With chicory root so close to salt, it is a modest gut nudge for a healthy dog, while the immune claim goes further than this ingredient warrants.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Dried carrots and dried peas sit after salt. They add a little variety, not a meaningful serving of vegetables.
- 18 dried carrots
- 19 dried peas
- 16 Salt
