Stimulating
When an ingredient in dog food is described as 'stimulating', it means that this ingredient can have a stimulating effect on your dog. This means that it can temporarily increase your dog's energy levels, alertness or activity. Stimulants often affect the nervous system and can influence the dog's reactions or behavior.
It is important to note that not all stimulant ingredients are safe or suitable for dogs. Some may even be harmful.
