Beet pulp is the material left over after the sugar is removed from sugar beets. Therefore, beet pulp contains no sugar. Beet pulp does not contain any toxins and does not affect coat color, nor will it affect coat pigment. The inside of the sugar beet is light in color, and the dark outside peel is not used in pet food. Sourced from the USA.
Brewer’s Rice: Country sourced from the USA.
