Donating YT 500 Club Member | Ash In Pet food? I am confused about Ash in dog foods. I know it is not the ash from your fireplace, but I am just confused about it. I recently purchased a bag of Nature's Variety Instinct LID, and in the guaranteed analysis it states ash as 10% max. Is this high? Is it bad? Looking back on other brands I have used it does not have it listed. This is new to me. After reading a little online, I have read that it is not required to be listed. Just looking for some more info. Thanks

| It means the various minerals in the food. From the NV web site - Ash is the inorganic (non-carbon) mineral portion of any substance. When referring to dog and cat food, "ash content" is the mineral matter, such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and copper.
