Pea’s fiber is derived from the outer layer of yellow peas, a legume. It is a plant-based source of fiber used in pet food. It provides soluble and insoluble fiber, which promotes digestive health and regulates bowel movements in pets. It can help prevent constipation and support gut health. It may help reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases by promoting satiety and decreasing absorption of carbohydrates and fats. Fiber keeps pets feeling full and can manage weight. It acts as a binding agent to help maintain the shape and texture of kibble (dry pet food). It prevents pieces from crumbling apart and improves hardness. It can be used as a natural preservative to help extend the shelf life of pet food. Fiber has natural antimicrobial properties that help prevent spoilage. It is relatively low in nutrients on its own. It provides fiber but little to no protein or other essential nutrients. It should be combined with other ingredients for a balanced diet. It is commonly added to dry kibble (biscuits), some wet canned food, and some treats/snacks. Can be part of a regular pet diet or given as an occasional supplement. It is a sustainable and eco-friendly source of fiber. Peas have a smaller environmental footprint to produce compared to other crops. Cost efficiency depends on the specific product and ingredients. Pea fiber may sometimes help lower costs. Lavor and colour are generally neutral. Does not significantly impact the taste, smell, or appearance of pet food.
