About Chestnut

Chestnut is used in pet foods mainly as a gluten-free carbohydrate and fiber source (often as chestnut flour or meal), supplying starch, soluble and insoluble fiber, some B vitamins and minerals, and a mild natural flavor. It is lower in fat than many other nuts and can be a useful energy ingredient for dogs when cooked/processed for digestibility, but owners should ensure edible chestnut (Castanea spp.) is used—not toxic horse chestnut—avoid whole nuts to prevent choking, and feed in moderation due to caloric and carbohydrate content and limited nutritional necessity for obligate-carnivore cats.
