The Power of Brewers’ Yeast in Pet Nutrition

Brewers’ yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has long been recognized as a natural source of high-quality protein and B vitamins in pet food. However, its benefits go far beyond basic nutrition. The real brewers’ yeast used in pet supplements, such as Leiber® Brewers’ Yeast, contains valuable polyphenols from hops, which contribute antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This makes brewers’ yeast a powerful addition to your pet’s diet, supporting skin health, digestion, and overall well-being.

Scientific Study: The Positive Impact of Brewers’ Yeast

A field trial conducted by a German market research institute analyzed the effects of Leiber® Brewers’ Yeast on 28 dogs and 29 cats. The study aimed to evaluate its impact on:

  • Skin and coat condition
  • Digestion and stool quality
  • General health and well-being

Pet owners added a daily portion of Leiber® Brewers’ Yeast to their pets’ wet food for 14 days. At the beginning and end of the trial, they assessed their pets’ condition using a standardized questionnaire. The results were impressive!

  • Healthier Skin and Shinier Coat
 – Healthier Skin and Shinier Coat
 After just two weeks, significant improvements were observed in both skin and coat health. Cats showed a 48.3% enhancement in coat condition, while dogs improved by 21.4%. Additionally, dandruff was reduced by 41.4% in cats and showed positive effects in dogs.
  • Less Hair Shedding
 – Excessive shedding can be a nuisance, especially for indoor pet owners. The study revealed a 31% reduction in hair loss for cats and a significant improvement in dogs.
  • Improved Digestion and Stool Quality
 – Brewers’ yeast helped regulate digestion, leading to better stool consistency and reduced fecal odor. This was particularly beneficial for indoor cats, where litter box odor is a common concern.

The Verdict: A Must-Have Supplement for Your Pet

The 14-day study confirmed that adding Leiber® Brewers’ Yeast to your pet’s diet enhances overall health, from stronger immunity to shinier coats and better digestion. If you’re looking for a natural and effective way to support your pet’s well-being, brewers’ yeast is an excellent choice!

Seal the Gut, Soothe the Skin

Seal the Gut, Soothe the Skin

Is ‘Leaky Gut’ the Hidden Cause of Your Dog’s Skin and Tummy Troubles? Does your dog suffer from a frustrating cycle of skin flare-ups, seemingly endless scratching, or digestive upset? If you feel you’ve tried everything yet the issues persist, you’re not alone. Many caring owners find themselves in this position, often because the root of the problem isn’t on the surface, but lies deeper within – in the gut. It’s time to talk about a condition known as leaky gut syndrome. What is ‘Leaky Gut’? Imagine a Finely Crafted Brick Wall Your dog’s intestinal lining is a remarkable barrier. Think of it as a well-built brick wall. In a healthy gut, the “bricks” (the intestinal cells) are held together tightly by “mortar” (specialised proteins called tight junctions). This wall acts as an intelligent gatekeeper, allowing vital nutrients to pass into the bloodstream while blocking toxins, undigested food particles, and harmful bacteria.Leaky gut syndrome occurs when this “mortar” begins to degrade. Tiny gaps form in the wall, allowing substances that should be contained within the gut to “leak” into the bloodstream. The Ripple Effect: How a Leaky Gut Affects the Whole Body When these foreign particles enter the bloodstream, your dog’s immune system identifies them as invaders and launches an inflammatory response. Over time, this can lead to chronic, low-grade inflammation throughout the body, which can manifest in ways you might not expect: Skin Issues – Persistent itching, red paws, rashes, and recurring ear infections can signal underlying gut imbalance that drives chronic inflammation. Allergies – Heightened sensitivity to food or environmental triggers often stems from a compromised gut barrier, causing exaggerated immune reactions. Digestive Upset – Diarrhoea, gas, and bloating occur when the intestinal lining can no longer filter properly, allowing irritants to pass through. Joint Discomfort – Systemic inflammation from leaky gut may worsen stiffness and pain in joints over time. Behavioural Changes – Lethargy or anxiety can be linked to gut health, as inflammation and nutrient malabsorption affect energy and mood. A Smarter Solution: Repairing the Wall From Within Instead of only soothing the symptoms, the most effective approach is to address the root cause: sealing and strengthening the gut barrier. This requires two things: the right materials to rebuild the “mortar” and an intelligent defence team to maintain order. Repairing the Mortar (Cefi®) – Autolysed yeast rich in nucleotides supplies the essential building blocks for rapid cell repair, sealing gaps in the gut wall and restoring its natural barrier. The Gut’s Defence Team (Biolex®) – Specialised yeast cell walls provide two key supports:MOS (Mannan-oligosaccharides) – Act as decoys, binding harmful bacteria and flushing them out before they can damage the gut lining. Beta-glucans – Help modulate the immune system, training it to respond to real threats without overreacting to everyday allergens.

Antarctic Krill vs. Fish Oil: The Smarter Way to Supplement Omega-3 for Your Dog

Antarctic Krill vs. Fish Oil: The Smarter Way to Supplement Omega-3 for Your Dog

Antarctic Krill vs. Fish Oil: The Smarter Way to Supplement Omega-3 for Your Dog For years, fish oil has been the go-to supplement for owners looking to boost their dog’s Omega-3 intake. It’s known for supporting everything from joint mobility to a glossy coat. But what if there was a source that was not only more potent and sustainable, but also absorbed far more efficiently by your dog’s body? It’s time to look beyond traditional fish oil and discover the remarkable benefits of Antarctic Krill. It’s All About the Delivery System: Phospholipids vs. Triglycerides The fundamental difference between krill oil and fish oil lies in their molecular structure. It sounds complex, but the concept is quite simple. Fish Oil: Omega-3s are bound to **triglycerides**. These are fats that are not water-soluble. To be absorbed, they must first be broken down in the small intestine by bile salts – a multi-step, inefficient process Krill Oil:Omega-3s are bound to **phospholipids**. These molecules are special; they have a water-loving “head” and a fat-loving “tail”. This structure allows them to mix with water, forming tiny spheres that are readily absorbed by your dog’s intestinal cells without needing the complex breakdown process. Think of it this way: triglycerides are like a large parcel that needs to be unwrapped and re-packaged before it can be delivered. Phospholipids are like a letter that slips straight through the letterbox. The result? **Superior bioavailability**, meaning more of the beneficial Omega-3s (EPA and DHA) actually get to where they are needed in the body.   Three More Reasons Why Krill is the Clear Winner Beyond its superior absorption, krill boasts several other advantages that make it the intelligent choice for your dog’s health. A Powerful, Natural Antioxidant Boost – Krill contains a potent antioxidant called Astaxanthin. This is the pigment that gives krill and salmon their reddish-pink colour. Astaxanthin helps to protect the delicate Omega-3s from oxidation, keeping them stable and effective. More importantly, it provides a powerful defence against cellular damage caused by free radicals, supporting your dog’s immune system and overall health. Standard fish oils simply don’t have this built-in antioxidant protection. Purity from the Pristine Antarctic Waters – Krill is harvested from the clean, cold waters of the Antarctic, far from industrial pollutants. As they are at the very bottom of the food chain, they do not accumulate the heavy metals (like mercury) and toxins that can be a concern in larger, predatory fish used for fish oil production. This means a purer, cleaner supplement for your dog. The Sustainable Choice – The Antarctic krill fishery is one of the best-managed in the world, with strict catch limits set by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to ensure the ecosystem remains healthy. Choosing a supplement made from sustainably sourced krill helps protect our oceans for future generations. How to Give Your Dog the Krill Advantage At Sensopet, we choose our ingredients based on scientific evidence and efficacy. That’s why we selected sustainably sourced Antarctic Krill Meal as a cornerstone ingredient in our **Senso Balance Blend**, and also offer it as a potent, stand-alone **Antarctic Krill Meal** topper. By choosing krill, you are providing your dog with a more bioavailable, pure, and potent source of the Omega-3s they need to thrive. Don’t just supplement, supplement smarter. Upgrade your dog’s Omega-3 source and see the difference for yourself. Explore the benefits of our Antarctic Krill Meal and our comprehensive Senso Balance Blend today.
