Dr. Judy interviews her pal Billy Hoekman, Vice President of Nutrition and Communication for Green Juju, about the importance of wild fermentation in pet health. Billy explains that wild fermentation harnesses naturally occurring bacteria and yeast in food, unlike traditional fermentation methods that introduce cultures. He discusses Green Juju's new wild fermented mushroom probiotic, which uses cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms from an organically certified farm. Learn more about this new product and about the importance of diverse probiotics for pet health and the environmental sustainability of Green Juju's farming practices.
