First of all, there is an increasing number of pet owners seeking out plant-based proteins for their beloved pets’ serving, as these are considered healthier and more sustainable alternatives.
Besides that, pet parents are very health-conscious consumers and notably, most of them opt for a proactive and natural approach for their pets’ digestive health. Functional prebiotic fibres carrying scientifically proven benefits are gold, especially if competitive options are available to meet the tighter budgets.
