Common questions about peas
Is Peas good for dogs?
Yes, we grade it as a good ingredient: recognisable and nutritionally useful, so it lifts a product’s score. Bear in mind that no single ingredient decides quality; the whole recipe and its balance matter more.
Why do so many grain-free foods contain peas?
Peas provide starch and protein without grain, so they are the backbone of most grain-free kibbles. Watch for splitting: peas, pea protein, pea flour and pea fibre can appear separately, making each look like a smaller part of the recipe than the combined total. We match all pea fractions to related glossary entries when we read a label.
