The digestion of prebiotics produces short chain fatty acids, or SCFA’s. These SCFA’s serve as the energy source for the cells in the intestines as well as for the beneficial bacteria throughout the digestive tract." Best formula for my dogs (can NOT contain oat products as 1 is allergic): ADULT DOG LIGHT FORMULA New thing I learned:

We have recently learned that some dogs may also have a dietary requirement for taurine. Dogs manufacture their own taurine from two other amino acids, cysteine and methionine. Some dogs are less efficient at using these two amino acids to make taurine, and may require more of these two amino acids to make enough. Lamb is lower in cysteine and methionine than other protein sources. So, when you have the combination of a dog that is inefficient at manufacturing taurine and a diet that is made from lamb, you may end up with a taurine deficient dog. Taurine deficiency in dogs causes the same type of heart disease that it does in cats, dilated cardiomyopathy or DCM. Adult Dog Formula Formulated to enhance an adult dog's health and happiness while preparing them for their golden years. Taurine is an amino acid that is required by cats.
