6Cellulose FibreCellulose / powdered cellulose▾
● Under research reviewA plant-derived insoluble fibre. Provides bulk but limited nutritional value. Acceptable in small amounts; when present as a primary fibre source (top 10 ingredients), it may indicate a high proportion of nutritionally inert filler.Sources: NRC 2006 Nutrient Requirements · Nutritional composition data

● Beneficial (emerging)A plant-based source of omega-3 (ALA), soluble fibre, and protein. Rich in calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Some studies have explored benefits for skin/coat health and digestive support in dogs. Like flaxseed, ALA conversion to EPA/DHA is limited in dogs and negligible in cats.Sources: Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition 2022 · Nutritional composition dataPosition on the ingredient list suggests a small inclusion level.
