About Cassava
Used primarily as a carbohydrate/starch and binder in dog and cat foods and treats, cassava provides digestible energy and a gluten‑free alternative to cereal grains. It is low in protein and micronutrients but supplies calories and some fiber; raw cassava contains cyanogenic compounds that must be thoroughly processed to prevent cyanide toxicity, and its high glycemic index may be a consideration for overweight or diabetic pets.
