*Dog Health Insight - Prebiotics*

70% of a dog’s immune system is located in their gut—prebiotics can serve as fuel to help keep it thriving! 🌿 These gut-nourishing fibers may promote beneficial bacteria growth, supporting nutrient absorption for puppy development and helping to reduce infection risks through stronger defenses.

*Fun fact:* Dogs host trillions of gut microbes—think of them as tiny helpers needing the right food!

*Science scoop:* Prebiotics like Fibocel, with beta-glucans and MOS, can stimulate immunity, bind harmful pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella to help prevent attachment, and promote firmer, more regular stools for better digestive health and overall vitality. Strays may thrive once they get them.

TipTop serves up tummy-loving Fibocel for healthier pups.

Dog Health Insight - Omega-3 for Brain Health

Omega-3 fatty acids are more than just a trend—they can support brain health in dogs! 🧠 General studies suggest they may help with cognitive function, including memory and learning, by aiding neuron development in areas like the hippocampus. Puppies on omega-3-enriched diets have shown improved trainability in some research—think better focus during playtime! Many owners notice their dogs have strong routines, and omega-3 may contribute to overall brain support.

Arctic sled dogs often eat fish-rich diets, which provide energy for endurance tasks.

Omega-3 can help reduce inflammation, supporting joint health for active lifestyles. TipTop includes omega-3 to help promote a healthy, active pup. Individual results may vary; consult your vet for advice. 🐕

Puppy joints are like bustling construction zones—growth plates churn out strong bones at lightning speed! 🦴

Large breeds like Great Danes and Labs need extra support to dodge issues like hip dysplasia, which can start young.

Glucosamine fuels cartilage growth, laying a solid foundation. Those growth plates close between 12-18 months, so early care is key—think of it as puppy scaffolding!

**Vet tip*: Stick to the ‘5-minute rule’ (5 minutes of exercise per month of age) to avoid overtaxing developing joints.

TipTop Puppy packs glucosamine for bouncy, happy pups ready to leap into life. 🐕
