What are the benefits of whole grains in pet food?
Whole grains are an easy-to-digest source of complex carbohydrates, fiber and energy. Next to protein sources, whole grains are one of the most important components of a pet’s diet. Whole wheat grains are frequently used in canine foods, as they are not only more digestible than corn but are also one of the most nutritionally balanced cereal grains. Rice is another nutritionally beneficial and highly digestible grain frequently used in pet foods. A combination of brown rice and white rice can be used; white rice for its digestibility and brown rice for its added nutritional value.
