Yucca contains an ingredient called "yucca saponin", which can reduce the ammonia content in pet feces, thereby reducing odor. Yucca also supports the digestive health and nutrient absorption of animals. Yucca is a natural and healthy choice for adding to pet food.

Yucca extract can also be very toxic in larger doses. It being "natural" doesn't mean it cannot be dangerous.
