How a Diet Change Supports Microbiome Health in Dogs
While this study was groundbreaking in identifying the timeline associated with changes in the gut microbiome and metabolite profiles of dogs following a diet change, the research doesn’t stop there! Future studies should consider different breeds, different living environments, larger sample sizes, and different diet types (like fresh diets, wink wink).
How Nom Nom Probiotics Support Gastrointestinal Health in Dogs
The Nom Nom R&D team wants to explore how our GI targeted probiotics work both alone and in combination with select gut-benefiting fibers on diarrhea symptoms in dogs that chronically suffer from diarrhea.
Nom Nom Probiotic Efficacy Studies
Our probiotic supplements just completed a year-long evaluation of their product stability. Spoiler alert — across the board, our probiotics retained acceptable viable bacteria claims, all year long.
A Scientific Study on the Benefits of Gently Cooked Dog Food
A new study published in January 2021 by Dr. Kelly Swanson, The Kraft Heinz Company Endowed Professor in Human Nutrition and a member of Nom Nom’s Scientific Advisory Board, is helping to prove how and why fresh food like ours is so advantageous for pet health.
How Nom Nom Food Supports the Microbiome in Dogs
In a recent study, scientists looked at the gut microbiome of dogs who switched from kibble to Nom Nom. The results further confirm how a gently cooked diet can support gut health — and overall health — in dogs!
Gastrointestinal Health in Dogs
Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in pets include many different conditions such as gastritis, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and bacterial infections or overgrowth. These conditions are distinct and don't necessarily share the same risk factors or causes, nor are they treated using the same approaches. However, they do share many of the same general symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
