What is CaniNectar?
Simple ingredients. A different starting point.
CaniNectar is a complementary feed built around Enzyme Rich Malt Extract. The idea is simple: start with what happens to food during digestion, before thinking about the microbial environment further along the gut.
E
Enzyme Rich Malt Extract
Produced using a patented process designed to preserve naturally occurring digestive enzyme activity within the malt extract.
D
Start with digestion
Digestion helps determine which nutrients are absorbed earlier and which dietary materials continue further through the gut.
G
Think about the gut as an environment
What reaches microbial communities further along the digestive tract helps shape the nutritional environment they encounter.
How it works
What happens earlier in digestion matters later.
The CaniNectar approach starts upstream. Digestion helps determine what is absorbed earlier and what continues through the digestive tract, shaping the nutritional environment encountered further along the gut.
Food
Diet enters the digestive system
Food contains proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fibre and other dietary components that must first be processed during digestion.
→
Digestion
Enzymes help break food down
Digestive enzymes act on dietary components, helping convert larger molecules into forms that can be handled further along the digestive process.
→
Substrate
What remains continues through the gut
The material that is not absorbed earlier becomes part of the nutritional substrate reaching later sections of the digestive tract.
→
Microbiome
Microbes encounter that environment
Microbial communities further along the gut interact with the dietary material and nutrients that reach them.
This is the nutritional idea behind CaniNectar: begin with digestion, because digestion helps shape the environment further along the gut.
Real dogs. Real owners.

Everyday gut health
The small things owners tend to notice.
Gut health often shows up in ordinary, everyday observations. Stools, appetite, gas and digestive sounds can all give owners useful context about how their dog's routine is going.
01
Stool consistency
Changes in shape, firmness, frequency or colour are often among the first things owners notice about digestion.
02
Appetite & routine
How eagerly a dog approaches food, and whether that pattern changes, can be useful everyday context.
03
Gas
Some intestinal gas is normal, but owners often notice when its frequency or smell changes from their dog's usual pattern.
04
Gut sounds
Gurgling and rumbling are part of normal digestion, but changes can sometimes prompt owners to look more closely at diet and routine.
