About Yam
Yam is used in pet foods primarily as a digestible carbohydrate and source of fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin C and B6), potassium and antioxidants such as beta‑carotene, contributing texture, energy and digestive support for dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats. While beneficial for moisture, fiber and phytonutrients, yams must be cooked (raw varieties can contain irritants), are not a primary protein source for obligate carnivores like cats, can increase carbohydrate load so should be limited in diabetic pets, and should be introduced gradually to avoid gastrointestinal upset.
