Do you know the difference between chicken fat & chicken protein? 🧐
FirstMate chicken fat is produced using a centrifuge to separate the chicken fat from the chicken protein.
💡 When an animal has a food allergy, the allergen(s) they react to is almost exclusively the protein in that ingredient. FirstMate chicken fat is protein-free and therefore is unlikely to cause a food-related allergy. ✅
The source of fat is a critical part of pet food formulation. Fat provides energy and is required for essential fatty acids, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, texture, aroma, and flavour. 🐶
