In partnership with the Pet Nutrition Center, because pets maintain consistent food consumption, the Center’s staff along with robotics track the specific types and amounts of food consumed by each individual animal, which includes a consistent diet compared to humans.
Huttenhower explains how the degree to which high-fiber diets help prevent inflammation depends on which gut microbes people have, which is why people respond to the same diet differently. “We all carry vastly different bugs in our microbiomes,” he adds.
The interchange of pet and human microbes presents the opportunity to acquire the “right” microbes at the “right” times leading to better lifelong health.
