Pea protein in dog food

Medium quality ingredient - nutritionally adequate and unlikely to cause any problems e.g. fillers etc

Pea protein is a byproduct of pea processing and is used as a protein source in some dog foods. Although it is far less expensive, we don't think pea protein should be used as an alternative to meat in dog foods since the quality and digestibility of vegetable proteins tend to fall a long way short of those found in meats.
