Tree

When an ingredient for dog food is described as "tree", it means that this ingredient comes from a tree. For example, this could be a part of the tree, such as bark, leaves, fruit or seeds.

As a rule, parts of trees are not the main ingredient in dog food, but they can be added for various reasons. For example, certain tree seeds, such as linseed, could be added for their nutritional value. Or it could be an extract from the bark or leaves of a tree known for its health benefits.

However, it is important to note that not all parts of all trees are safe for dogs. Some trees may contain toxic substances that can be harmful to dogs.
