Tapioca in dog food

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

Tapioca (sometimes called cassava) is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant. It is often used as a carbohydrate source in grain free dog foods but due to its general lack of all nutrients other than starch, it is generally regarded as a low grade filler for dogs.
