Potatoes and potato starch are a versatile carbohydrate source commonly used in pet food formulations.
They provide easily digestible energy, essential vitamins like B6 and C, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium. In grain-free diets, potatoes are often used as a primary alternative to grains, making them ideal for pets with food sensitivities. Some common types of pet foods that may contain potatoes include:
- Grain-free dry kibble: We partner with pet food companies to supply high-quality potato ingredients as a primary carbohydrate in grain-free, gluten-free, and limited-ingredient kibble recipes.
- Wet canned food: Potatoes are frequently used in wet pet foods to provide texture, thickness, and nutritional value alongside proteins.
- Treats: Many pet treats incorporate potatoes as a base ingredient, especially in soft chews or baked snacks designed for pets with allergies to grains or gluten.
