The term"essence" in relation to an ingredient in dog food is somewhat ambiguous and can be interpreted differently depending on the context. Generally speaking, "essence" in this context could mean a concentrate or a highly concentrated form of a particular ingredient or group of ingredients. Here are some possible meanings:

Concentrate of natural ingredients: This could be a concentrated extract derived from a natural source such as herbs, vegetables, fruits or meats. Such essences are often rich in specific nutrients, flavors or aromas.
Flavorings or flavor enhancers: In some cases, "essence" could also be used as an additive that gives the food a specific taste or smell to make it more appealing to the dog.
Essential nutrients: The term could also refer to the supply of essential nutrients that are important for the dog's health and well-being.
Marketing term: Sometimes the term "essence" is also used for marketing reasons to portray a product as particularly high quality or nutritious, even if the actual nutritional value or quality of the ingredient is normal.
