About Sunflower
Sunflower (in the form of seeds, oil, meal or lecithin) is commonly used in pet foods as a source of fats, vitamin E and, depending on the form, fiber and some plant protein; sunflower oil provides linoleic acid (an omega‑6) that helps support skin and coat health. While beneficial in moderation, sunflower ingredients are calorie‑dense and high in omega‑6s so they can promote weight gain or an imbalanced omega‑6:omega‑3 ratio if not balanced with omega‑3 sources, and they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause digestive upset in sensitive animals.
