Source of complex carbohydrates
When the term "source of complex carbohydrates" is used in dog nutrition, it means that the food contains ingredients that provide complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are long-chain sugar molecules that are digested more slowly than simple carbohydrates. This results in a more consistent and sustained energy supply for your dog.
These complex carbohydrates are often found in ingredients such as whole grains (e.g. brown rice, oats), vegetables (e.g. sweet potatoes, carrots) and certain legumes (e.g. peas, lentils). They not only provide energy, but also fiber, which is important for your dog's digestion. By choosing food that is a good source of complex carbohydrates, you can help your dog stay fuller for longer and have consistent energy.
