Fresh Kisses Mint Small Dog Dental Treats ingredients, explained
The recipe is built on mint: peppermint and spearmint oil are two of the first eight ingredients. None of the common dog food allergens appear on the label.
What this food is made of
Starch from the cassava root, used to bind kibble and as a carbohydrate source, especially in grain-free foods. It is nearly pure starch with little protein, fiber or micronutrients, and it is one of the least likely ingredients to trigger an allergy. A food that leans on tapioca for carbohydrate is getting easy digestibility and little else from it, which is fine as long as the rest of the recipe carries the nutrition.
A staple of grain-free recipes, supplying starch, fiber and plant protein. Peas were common in the diets examined in a federal investigation into heart disease in dogs; the investigation did not establish a cause and no ingredient was banned. Pea protein high on a list can inflate the protein number with a plant source. Pea allergy is rare. Not a problem, but worth noticing when it appears in several forms in one recipe.

Water added during the making of wet food, listed as 'water sufficient for processing'. It is there to form the gravy or loaf and to cook the ingredients, and it is why wet food is around 75 to 80 percent moisture. For cats, that moisture is the main nutritional argument for wet food, since many cats drink little on their own. It is sometimes called a filler. Wet food cannot be made without it.
