Frequently Asked Questions

What is Microbial Biotic Protein?

Microbial protein is obtained through an innovative process from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath as yes first discovered in the hot springs in Bath!)

It is a natural, methanotrophic microorganism that uses methane as an energy source - you cannot get more sustainable than that as it feeds off fossil fuel! This protein is produced in a closed clean system through a special fermentation process and provides particularly high-quality and easily digestible proteins and dogs love its umami taste.

A study by Oba et al. (2023) confirms that microbial biotic protein has high digestibility and contains ALL essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source for your dog. By using microbial protein and the delicious grain-free natural ingredients in MicroBell, this food is hypoallergenic and therefore particularly suitable for dogs with sensitive digestive systems or allergies.

MicroBell wet trays also contain Porcini Mushroom as a main ingredient so particularly good for extra fussy dogs as we all know how delicious porcini mushrooms are in our food!

The science behind Just Be Kind

Every Just Be Kind recipe is built on published veterinary nutrition science. Here are the key studies Dr. Arielle draws on — translated into plain English.

Dr. Arielle's note

"I reference these studies when speaking to sceptical vets about my patients' diets. The evidence for nutritionally complete plant-based feeding has strengthened considerably since 2021."

Taste preference

Plant-based versus meat-based pet foods: Owner-reported palatability behaviours

Proof that vegan dog food diets are as palatable as meat-based or even raw in this significant study carried out during 2020 and published by Prof Andrew Knight in June 2021

Longevity

Largest Study of 2536 dogs showing dogs fed vegan diets were healthiest!

Dogs fed vegan diets clearly had the best health outcomes in this very large-scale study, and these results are consistent with prior studies in this field. – Prof Andrew Knight Sept 2024

Digestion

Dog domestication reveals adaptation to a starch-rich diet

A fascinating study proving how mutations in key genes occurred allowing increased starch digestion in dogs relative to wolves. These results indicate that early ancestors of modern dogs could thrive on a diet rich in starch.

Health Outcomes

Reported Health Benefits of a Vegan Dog Food - Dr Mike Davies (2022)

Davies (2022) surveyed 100 dog guardians who had switched to a nutritionally complete vegan dog food designed by UK vets. "The vegan food was acceptable (palatable), and appetite and body weight were not adversely affected."
