What is Lamb Broth?

Lamb broth is a liquid made by simmering lamb meat and bones in water, often with vegetables and herbs, to extract flavors and nutrients. It is commonly used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces.

In pet food, lamb broth is often used to enhance flavor and provide moisture. While it is generally regarded as a supplementary ingredient, the presence of proteins and minerals from the simmering process can contribute to the nutritional profile of a product.

When you see lamb broth on a label, it indicates that the product has flavors derived from lamb, a factor that may be important for pets with dietary sensitivities or personal palatability preferences.
