Re Beet Pulp, Barley & Rice in Whites Premium:

The above ingredients are excellent for dogs and play a critical part in their health:
BEET PULP : Provides an energy source that can improve the health of the colon. Slow to moderately fermentable fiber sources, like Beet Pulp would improve the colon health by providing the beneficial bacteria with a small amount of volatile fatty acids.

BARLEY / RICE : Canines have the ability to consume large quantities of protein & then convert that protein into energy in addition to muscle. They also have the ability to convert many carbohydrate sources into the same kind of energy. Soluable carbohydrates can be easily broken down in the digestive tract of the dog. Soluable carbs are found in Barley & Rice. Barley is also high in the antioxidant Selenium which helps regulate the metabolism, including thyroid hormone metabolism, defence systems and immune functions. There is also evidence that Selenium can help in reducing risk of cancer. RICE is an excellent hypo-allergenic low fat food source that is digested easily & slowly maintaining energy levels. It also helps protect dogs' cells from free radical damage, high in Manganese, keeping bones strong & healthy and like Barley, a good source of Selenium.
