Fiber is a non-digestible carbohydrate that affects intestinal transit time, fecal output and condition, absorption of nutrients, bacterial conditions within the gut, and is responsible for maintaining a healthy gut and normal intestinal function.

There are many different fiber sources and they are often classified on their fermentability.

Fermentability is the ability of a fiber to be broken down by bacteria within the intestine, which results in the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA's). The cells lining the wall of the intestine are responsible for nutrient absorption and need a large amount of energy to maintain their rapid turnover rates. The SCFA's produced by fermentable fiber is their only source of energy. A deficiency of these SCFA's can result in loss of cell function and reduced nutrient absorption.

Cellulose (wood pulp), peanut hulls, and soybean hulls, used by some pet food companies, are non-fermentable, producing very few SCFA's, and simply add bulk to the diet.

Highly fermentable fiber, such as pectin, produces high levels of SCFA's, but also results in loose stools.

Beet pulp (produced from sugar beets after the sugar is removed) is a moderately fermentable fiber, and produces enough SCFA's to benefit the intestinal cells while still producing a small firm stool.

Many scientific studies have shown beet pulp to be a superior fiber source, resulting in healthier intestinal environment, increased intestinal surface area, reduction of inflammation within the gut, and small firm, not hard, stools.

Cody's Rating

Cody is a Jack Russell mix-many of you have seen him in the PetWay van doing deliveries,  protecting the van, and keeping the driver company. Cody is the typical terrier and destroys toys we give him.So, we have been in search of the Cody proof toy, and have succeeded in finding a few. Look beside any of our toys and the rating is there-if you are lucky and have a soft mouthed dog, congratulations, there is also a frequency of use rating. Hope this helps in caring and providing your companion with play and relaxation items.
