The Pack, a UK startup, has partnered with German company MicroHarvest to launch Gut Bites, a new vegan dog treat made with microbial protein. This innovative ingredient is not only good for the planet but also beneficial for the gut health of dogs. The product is designed to cater to picky eaters and pets with allergies or sensitive stomachs, offering a nutritious and sustainable option for dog owners in the UK.

MicroHarvest's MPX Care, the fermentation-derived ingredient in the treats, has been proven to be palatable to dogs in market tests. The company's focus on sustainability is reflected in the production process, which generates significantly less CO2 emissions compared to traditional protein sources. With a growing demand for environmentally friendly pet food, Gut Bites is a step towards offering innovative solutions that prioritize both the health of pets and the planet.
