    alfalfa meal

    Dried alfalfa. Real fiber and trace minerals. Functional plant ingredient.

    Soluble fiber from sugar-beet processing. Sometimes treated as a filler, but it's actually one of the better fiber sources in kibble.

    canola oil

    Plant oil. Some omega-3 from the parent plant, though dogs absorb it less efficiently than fish-derived omega-3. Fine in moderation.

    Soluble fiber that supports stool quality. Mild and well-tolerated.
