Plaque forms naturally and continuously. Plaque is deposition of food debris and bacteria. The building up of plaque contributes to bad breath and periodontal disease (infection of teeth and gums) and eventually teeth loss. Unlike dry food, which comes in small pieces, Butch surrounds the teeth and gums with finely ground bone which gently cleams your pets’ teeth as they chew.

Butch products contain yucca, which can reduce bad breath and smell of defecation. As for the main cause of defecation malodor, the main reason is the additives in the feed, which is mainly caused by excessive plant-based crude protein, foreign matter or chemical substances in the feed. Dogs and cats are carnivorous animals, the enzymes in their intestines and stomach can break down animal protein easily and quickly. Since the main ingredients of general feeds contain a lot of plant protein and starch, they often cause indigestion and the release of histamine in the body. After these undigestible plant proteins are discharged out of the body, they often cause ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, and produce a foul smell. If the histamine releases too much, later symptoms may even cause skin lesions.

New Zealand has stringent bio-security measures, strict quarantine laws, high levels of food traceability and worldwide recognition for its disease-free status. This includes pet food, which in New Zealand is controlled by the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI)。

Yucca is a natural plant additive, which has the following benefits for pets:

Regulate the intestinal environment: help stabilize the pH in the pet’s intestines, provide and maintain a normal intestinal environment, and control the number of coccidia.

Improve the absorption of nutrients and increase the utilization of protein: The saponins in Yucca can change the morphology of the epithelial cell membrane of the digestive tract and promote the absorption of nutrients. The saponins are not absorbed in the intestine, which can delay the passage rate of the contents of the digestive tract and increase the digestibility. 

Improve the body’s immunity and reduce the incidence of diseases: Yucca helps thicken the intestinal mucosa, inhibits the absorption and proliferation of nutrients in the digestive tract by viruses and harmful bacteria.
