Carob Training Treats

Sucrose, Saccharose, E955, Beta-D-Fructofuranosyl Alpha-D-Glucopyranoside

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate derived primarily from plant sources such as sugar cane or sugar beet. It serves as a readily available energy source, supporting metabolic processes and palatability in pet foods. Sugar is incorporated in its natural, refined form rather than as a raw plant material, ensuring consistency and digestibility for pets while enhancing the taste of the final product.

Sugar is included as a cost-effective palatability enhancer to improve taste and encourage consumption. It may also serve as a minor preservative to help stabilise certain formulations.

Edible Vegetable Oil, Plant Fat, Plant Oil, Edible Plant Oil

Vegetable fat is a lipid ingredient derived from plant sources such as sunflower, canola, or soybean. It serves primarily as a concentrated energy source and enhances palatability in pet foods. Vegetable fat is used in its refined form, not as raw plant material, to ensure stability, safety, and optimal digestibility for pets. This ingredient also supports healthy skin and coat condition.

Vegetable fat is included as a cost-effective energy source and to enhance palatability, making the product more appealing to pets. It also contributes to texture and can help optimise the product’s shelf stability.

Dried Milk, Powdered Milk, Dehydrated Milk, Lacteal Solids

Milk solids are the dried components of milk, derived from animal origin, typically cows. They consist of proteins, lactose, minerals, and milk fat, and are included in pet food to provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients. Milk solids are used in a processed, dehydrated form rather than as fresh milk, ensuring stability, digestibility, and consistent nutritional value in formulations.

Milk solids are included as a cost-effective source of protein and calcium, contributing to the nutritional profile of the product. They may also enhance palatability and improve texture, making the food more appealing to pets.

Locust Bean Powder, Ceratonia Siliqua Powder, E410, Locust Bean Gum Powder

Carob powder is a plant-derived ingredient made from the dried, roasted pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). It is primarily included in pet food as a natural source of dietary fibre and antioxidants, supporting digestive health and overall wellbeing. Carob powder is used in its natural, whole-food form, ensuring pets benefit from its inherent nutrients and functional properties.

Carob powder is included as a natural flavouring agent to enhance palatability and provide a chocolate-like taste without the toxicity of cocoa. It also serves as a label-friendly ingredient that appeals to consumers seeking natural and recognisable components in pet food.

Phosphatidylcholine, E322, Soybean Phospholipid, Egg Phospholipid

Lecithin is a naturally occurring compound derived from plant or animal sources, commonly soybeans or egg yolks. It serves as an emulsifier, helping to blend fats and water in pet food, thereby improving texture and nutrient absorption. Lecithin is not used in its raw form; instead, it is processed and purified to ensure safety, stability, and optimal functionality in pet nutrition.

Lecithin is included as an emulsifier to improve the texture and consistency of pet food, ensuring fats and water-based ingredients blend smoothly. It may also be used to enhance product stability and shelf life.
