What is Dried Beet Pulp?
Dried beet pulp is the fibrous material left after sugar has been extracted from sugar beets. It is commonly used as an ingredient in animal feeds.
It's primarily included in dog foods as a source of fiber, which can help support healthy digestion. While some believe it to be merely a filler, beet pulp's fiber content may indeed promote gut health.
