Most dogs and cats eat lots of dried kibble and drink not nearly enough water. As a variety of pet foods contain high amounts of processed grains and carbohydrates which break down to simple sugars...kicking yeast and skin infections into overdrive!

When our fur friends suffer from gut problems, poor immunity, skin and health health, we also spend lots of money at the vet. Why not maintain good health for our fur friends by introducing Milk Kefir and Kombucha into their diets? Milk Kefir and Kombucha helps to regulate good bacteria in both pet and human guts, and contains over 30 strains of beneficial bacteria and yeast. Craft & Culture is the first kefir brewery to provide quality Kefirs to fur babies and human parents in Singapore since 2016, way before other companies followed suit! 

With Stuart the Chow Chow, who loves taking rich and creamy Craft & Culture Milk Kefirs for his daily dose of yummy probiotics.

As always: variation, moderation and balance! Kefir & Kombucha are very safe, This is not to say that some people or pets don’t react negatively, especially when first trying it. When introducing raw probiotics to your pets, remember to always go slow.

Give your pet’s system time to adjust. For the first few days to a week try half the recommended dosages. This will avoid digestive upset as your pet’s system adjusts to the increase of good flora in their GI tract.

Serving Suggestions?

We like giving milk kefir and kombucha out in the form of doggy treats and mixed with fruit or wet mixes, instead of with dry foods.

Here's an example of one of our recipes below with blueberries and Milk Kefir. You may mix it with cut fruit pieces or blended into a smoothie! Doggies and Cats love cool smoothies too!

made with only 2 ingredients, Full Cream Milk and Kefir cultures. Versatile and delicious! Original Milk kefir does not contain sugar. We recommend that pet owners who are conscious of sugar to flavour the kefir using fruit separately. 

Even though Kombucha is brewed with tea, the caffeine levels after fermentation are super low. Why? As the stability of caffeine in water is about 3 days in water at room temperature, the resultant levels after fermenting for 4 weeks means that our Kombuchas are Pet- and Child-friendly! Kombucha also imparts unique gut flora which help complement the positive bacteria of Milk Kefir! The sugar content in our brews are about 5% by bottle volume. 

We'd love to hear more stories about your pets and milk kefir! Please share your pet photos with us by emailing us at support@craftculturesg or tagging us on facebook and Instagram!
