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.
Brown rice: A whole-grain rice that contains three parts of the grain kernel: the outer, fiber-filled layer called the bran, the nutrient-rich core called the germ, and the starchy middle layer called the endosperm. Brown rice is considered a complex carbohydrate. Sourced from the USA.
Canola oil: Country sourced from the USA.
