Not every pet falls in love at first bite. Sometimes a bad experience (like being unwell) can lead to food aversion, where your floof avoids anything that smells, tastes or feels like that memory even when they are feeling better. Some pets are just a bit more particular than others, and it may take your cat or dog some time to adjust to something new. That said, we've had amazing feedback from pet pawrents about the tastiness of our recipes, and we are quite different to anything else on the market, so don't give up too quickly! Try warming the food slightly, or offering it in a new bowl or area to get your pet living the gut life.

We keep things simple and gentle to support sensitive tummies:

• All Scrumbles recipes are free from common allergens such as soy, dairy, gluten, egg and red meat.
• We follow a pollo-pescatarian diet (chicken, turkey or fish - no beef, pork or lamb).
• Many of our wet foods are single source protein.
• Our recipes use limited ingredients for easier digestion. It’s worth noting that technically anything could be an allergen, so if your pet has known sensitivities, always check the ingredient list or drop us a message.

Every cat and dog is different, but most pet parents start to notice changes in the first few days, to a couple of weeks. When you're new to Scrumbles, we recommend transitioning over 7 to 10 days to give your pet's tummy time to adjust. Some mild stool changes are totally normal during this period. While some pets show early signs of improvement, like better poops or less itching, others may take a few months for full results to shine through, so hang in there!

Probiotics are "friendly" or "good" bacteria that live in your pet's gut and help:

• Break down food
• Absorb nutrients
• Keep tummies balanced and happy

Probiotics help digestion and balance your pet’s gut flora. Prebiotics are the food for these probiotics. We add probiotics to all of our dry food recipes to support gut health, for happy tums and pick-up-able poops. Gut bacteria really are your pooch’s and kitty’s best friend, and have a big part to play in your dog’s overall health. If you’d like to know a bit more about prebiotics and probiotics and how they affect your pet’s overall wellbeing, check out our blogs!

Not all pet food is created equally. At Scrumbles, we use:

• Free run poultry e.g. chicken and turkey that's highly digestible for cats and dogs
• Only meat from human food supply chains, meaning it's passed health checks and is fit for consumption

So you can rest assured that you’re getting the excess meat that we as humans don’t need, kind of like wonky vegetables that supermarkets are now selling. Nothing scary, just nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste. And no, there are no feathers, beaks or nasties.

Nope! We say a firm no to GMOs. Here's how we make sure:

• We’re very picky about our pet food and even pickier about who we work with. All our suppliers go through strict approval processes with rigorous checks throughout.
• We require written declarations confirming no GM ingredients.
• We run traceability audits and risk assessments. So you can rest easy knowing your pet's bowl is full of natural, non-GMO goodness 🙂
