Supports a healthy gut microbiome and digestive function in dogs.
Why it is included
Inulin is included as part of Essential's gut–immune baseline active ingredients and Prebiotic's gut microbiome feed active ingredients.
Inulin is a prebiotic fibre that selectively feeds beneficial gut bacteria. In dogs, it has been shown to influence gut microbiota composition, fermentation activity, and digestive parameters. These effects support gut balance, which plays a central role in immune function and overall physiological resilience.
