Smart questions. Smart answers (we hope).

Anti-oxidants. Pro-biotics. Is this food, or a debating society?

Pro-biotic means "for life." Those "live cultures" yogurts talk about? Those are pro-biotics – living microscopic organisms. Eat the yogurt, and the pro-biotics take up residence in your gastro-intestinal tract (that is, your digestive system). There, they aid digestion, which helps you stay healthier.

The pro-biotics in Famers Market pet treats work the same way.

Fear not: This is not Invasion of the Body Snatchers for your dog. Pro-biotics are a very good thing, supported by scientific studies and the World Health Organization.

In point of fact, all living creatures have organisms living in their bodies. Pro-biotics are the good guys, and your dog will be healthier for them, every time you reward him with Farmers Market treats.
