What is The Gut's 7-in-1 formula?
The Gut’s 7-in-1 formula brings together prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, omega-3s, diverse fibres, antioxidants, and vitamins & minerals. Each plays a different role in supporting a healthy gut, from nourishing beneficial bacteria and supporting microbial balance to promoting digestive health and overall wellbeing.
We believe gut health is about more than just probiotics; it’s about supporting the whole gut ecosystem.
Are The Gut treats free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives?
Yes! The beautiful colours come naturally from the real fruits and vegetables in each recipe. Our treats are freeze-dried to lock in their natural goodness, with seafood like dried shrimp and squid for a delicious taste dogs love.
We never use artificial colours, flavors and preservatives.
Where are The Gut treats made?
Our treats are made in Vietnam using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We choose to freeze-dry close to where our ingredients are grown and harvested, helping us capture them at peak freshness. We prepare our treats in our own kitchen and carefully oversee the process from sourcing through to production.
Our treats are formulated and developed in Sydney, Australia, bringing together our Australian product philosophy with the incredible ingredients available locally in Vietnam.

For Your Dog
Is this right for my dog? All the answers you need.
Can puppies eat The Gut treats?
Yes! The Gut treats can be enjoyed by puppies who are eating solid food. They’re made with real fruits, vegetables and seafood, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
As with any treat, introduce them gradually and feed in moderation alongside a complete and balanced puppy diet. Treats should make up no more than around 10% of your puppy’s daily calories.
If your puppy has a known food allergy, dietary sensitivity or is on a veterinary-prescribed diet, check with your vet before introducing new treats.
Are they suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes?
Yes! The Gut treats are suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether you have a tiny pup or a big dog, they can enjoy The Gut as part of a balanced diet.
For smaller dogs, simply adjust the serving size to suit their size and daily calorie needs. As with any treat, moderation is key.
Can dogs with sensitive stomachs eat them?
If your dog has a sensitive stomach, we recommend introducing The Gut gradually and starting with a small amount to see how they respond.
If your dog has a known food allergy, digestive condition or is on a veterinary-prescribed diet, check with your vet before introducing new treats.
Are The Gut treats suitable for dogs with food sensitivities?
If your dog has a known food sensitivity, you can choose a recipe without their specific trigger ingredient. Our recipes contain seafood, including fish and/or shrimp, so be sure to check the full ingredient list for each recipe.
Gut + Squid contains squid as its main animal protein and no shrimp, making it an alternative protein option for dogs who tolerate fish but need to avoid crustaceans.
If you're introducing a new treat, start with a small amount and gradually increase while monitoring how your dog responds.
If your dog has a diagnosed food allergy or is undergoing an elimination diet, speak with your veterinarian before introducing new treats.
Can my dog have The Gut treats every day?
Yes! The Gut treats are made to be enjoyed every day as part of a balanced diet. Just remember that treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. Start with a small amount and adjust based on your dog’s size, activity level and overall diet.
How it Works
How to use our treats and what they do for your dog's digestion.
How many treats should I give my dog?
Each The Gut treat is approximately 2 g and 9–10 kcal. The right amount depends on your dog’s size, activity level and overall diet.
As a general guide, treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. Start with a few treats and adjust the amount to suit your dog.
How should I introduce The Gut treats?
Start with a small amount and gradually increase over a few days as your dog gets used to them. Every dog is different, so keep an eye on how they respond.
Once they’re comfortable, The Gut treats can be enjoyed as part of their daily treat routine.
How do The Gut treats support healthy digestion?
The Gut supports digestion in several ways.
Prebiotics and fibre help feed beneficial gut bacteria, while probiotics add beneficial bacteria to the gut. Postbiotics provide additional support, and the variety of fibres from our fruits and vegetables helps keep the gut ecosystem diverse and balanced. Together, these ingredients work to support a healthy gut and happy digestion.

What are prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics?
Prebiotics: Feed the good bacteria
Prebiotics are special fibres that provide fuel for beneficial bacteria already living in the gut, helping them thrive.
Probiotics: Add beneficial bacteria
Probiotics are live beneficial microorganisms. The Gut uses a 4-strain blend, including resilient, spore-forming Bacillus probiotics, designed to withstand the journey through digestion and reach the gut.
Postbiotics: The benefits left behind
Postbiotics are beneficial substances and components produced by or derived from microorganisms. They can interact with the gut and help support a healthy gut environment, without needing to be live bacteria themselves.
In simple terms: Prebiotics feed them, Probiotics add them, and Postbiotics support the gut with beneficial microbial products.
Can I use The Gut treats as training treats or food toppers?
Absolutely! The Gut treats are versatile and can be used as everyday treats, training rewards or a tasty topper for their food. You can feed them whole or add them over meals for an extra burst of flavour and variety.
Just remember to account for treats as part of your dog’s daily calorie intake.
