How dietary fiber helps the intestines maintain health

There is a growing body of knowledge on the relationship between gut, dietary fiber, and the microbiome. Here at Lucy Pet, we utilize the extensive knowledge and research of one of the world’s leading experts on dietary fiber and gut health Dr. George C. Fahey for our P.B.F Prebiotic Balanced Fiber blend.

Researchers at UC Davis have discovered how the digestion of dietary fiber by gut microbes help intestinal cells maintain gut health, which helps support our nutritional philosophy around gut health for pets.

Research recently published on August 11 in the journal Science, identifies a potential therapeutic way to “rebalance” the gut. While we are not implying in any way that our diets are therapeutic, we do feel strongly that this reinforces the benefit of consuming fiber in overall gut health.
