Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that help feed beneficial bacteria within the digestive tract. Unlike probiotics, which introduce live organisms, prebiotics support the growth of bacteria already present in the microbiome. Ingredients such as pumpkin, chicory root, and certain plant fibers naturally contain prebiotic compounds.
These fibers help create an environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive and maintain balance. In pet nutrition, prebiotics are commonly paired with probiotics to support overall digestive function. Their role is less about direct nutrition for the pet and more about supporting the gut ecosystem.
