About Whey
Whey is a dairy-derived protein and flavoring commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly digestible, high-quality protein source rich in essential amino acids (including branched-chain amino acids) and some minerals and B vitamins. It can support muscle maintenance and improve palatability for dogs and cats, but may cause gastrointestinal upset in lactose-intolerant animals and should be avoided in pets with milk allergies or used cautiously to prevent excess calories or mineral imbalance.
