Alternative protein for sensitive diets.
Potato Protein
Potato Protein is a plant-derived protein extracted during the processing of potatoes. It is used in dog food as a novel protein source, especially in hypoallergenic or limited-ingredient diets.
While not as nutrient-dense as animal proteins, potato protein provides essential amino acids and is highly digestible for many dogs with sensitivities. It is often used in specialized formulations for dogs with food allergies.
Potato protein is less about tradition – and more about tolerance.
Key aspects of potato protein:
- Derived from potato starch processing
- Highly digestible for most sensitive dogs
- Used in hypoallergenic and limited-ingredient diets
- Lower biological value than animal proteins
Potato protein supports dietary variety,
but works best as part of a balanced formulation.
