Ashes and Minerals in Natural Chews: Why?

In the world of pet treats, you may have noticed labels mentioning "ash" or "minerals" in the composition.

But what do these terms actually mean, and why are they included in these treats for our faithful four-legged friends?

Let's discover together the importance of ashes and minerals in these treats

Understanding Ashes and Minerals

What are ashes?

Ash in Natural Chews Is Not What You Might Think
In fact, they do not come from combustion at all
Instead, the term "ash" refers to the amount of minerals remaining after water and organic matter have been removed during the cooking or drying process
This includes essential minerals like calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and potassium

 

Why are minerals important?

Minerals play a vital role in the overall health of our pets

For example, calcium and phosphorus are essential for bone and dental health, while magnesium contributes to the proper functioning of muscles and the nervous system.

Potassium is necessary for the proper functioning of cells and organs

In summary, the ash and minerals found in natural chews for our pets play a crucial role in their health and well-being

By ensuring our four-legged friends receive a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, we help them lead happy, healthy lives

The next time you see these terms on the label of a treat, you'll know they're there for a good reason: to ensure the health and happiness of our beloved companions
