Why is yeast used in some of Edgard & Cooper's recipes?
At Edgard & Cooper, we are dedicated to providing your furry friends with nutrition that goes beyond the basics. Yeast is one of the key ingredients we incorporate into some of our recipes, not only for its delicious flavor but also for its numerous health benefits.
What are the benefits of yeast in pet food?
Yeasts are important prebiotics used our recipes to support an optimal immune system and to maintain gut health. These components provide functional fibres:
Gut Health
Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS)
Bind pathogenic bacteria
Reduce pathogen adhesion to intestinal epithelium
Support microbiota balance
Immune Modulation
β-glucans from yeast cell walls interact with immune receptors leading to:
Enhanced innate immune response
Improved resistance to infections
Support during stress
In which products is yeast included?
Yeast is present in several of our products, including:
Dog kibble
Cat kibble
Dog Keep It Up Bars with apple and blueberry
Cat chunks in sauce in pouches
These products are designed to fortify your pet's immune system and maintain optimal gut health.
How does yeast enhance my pet's health?
By incorporating yeast into our recipes, we aim to go beyond providing just a meal. We strive to enhance your pet's overall health and vitality. Yeast contributes to a healthier gut, better digestion, improved nutrient absorption, and a stronger immune system.
The yeast used in dog food, such as nutritional yeast, is different from the yeast that causes infections.
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast, meaning it is not alive and cannot contribute to infections. It is used as a flavor enhancer and a nutritional supplement, providing B vitamins, mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), and beta-glucans, which support gut health and the immune system.
If your dog has a yeast infection, it's always a good idea to consult your veterinarian.
