Anti-nutriient

Substances that reduce nutrient absorption, such as phytates in grains, and pharmaceuticals, which can interfere with mineral uptake.

Why It Is Important?

It interferes with nutrient absorption and should be limited in dogs’ diets to ensure optimal health.

How to Apply to Your Dog?

Limit high levels of grains or legumes in the diet that could interfere with nutrient absorption.

Additional Information?

Cooking or fermenting grains can reduce antinutritional factors. Feeding a minimally processed grain-free diet that is species-appropriate will prevent your dog from introducing antinutrients into its food.
