Gut Biome and Allergies with Emanuel

Gut Biome and Allergies with Emanuel

Author: Bella+Duke August 19, 2025 Duration: 40:37

In this episode of For Pet’s Sake, Mark is joined by Emanuel, founder of Treat Therapeutics, to explore the powerful connection between your pet’s gut health and allergies. From itchy skin and ear infections to digestive upsets, many common allergy symptoms in dogs and cats can be traced back to imbalances in the gut microbiome.

Emanuel explains how the diversity of bacteria in the gut plays a vital role in regulating the immune system and why diet and environment are such key factors. The discussion covers how highly processed, carbohydrate-heavy foods can disrupt the microbiome, while fresh, natural diets help restore balance and reduce inflammation.


Listeners will learn how supporting gut health can ease allergy symptoms, improve digestion, and boost overall wellbeing. Practical advice includes recognising early warning signs of imbalance, choosing the right diet to encourage a healthier microbiome, and understanding how targeted nutrition can transform the way pets feel inside and out.


This episode is essential for pet owners dealing with allergies, sensitive stomachs, or recurring skin problems and offers science-led solutions for supporting long-term health and happiness.
