Health ExtensionARI Puppy Conditioner

The protein portion of wheat, used to bind wet-food chunks and to add protein cheaply. It is highly digestible for dogs, less complete than meat protein, and the reason a chunky canned food holds its shape. Wheat gluten was the ingredient contaminated with melamine in the 2007 recalls, which is the reason some owners still avoid it. The problem was a supplier adding melamine to it; the ingredient itself was never the hazard. Wheat allergy in pets is uncommon but real.
