Ultra-Processed
This group includes pet food products that go through extensive processing and often contain ingredients not typically found in a home kitchen. These include additives like preservatives, colorings, flavorings, and artificial sweeteners. Ultra-processed pet foods are often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and salt, and low in nutrients. Examples are pet treats, packaged snacks, reconstituted meat products, and ready-to-eat pet meals.

Minimally Processed
These are whole pet foods in which the nutritional properties are mostly intact. Examples include fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, and milk for pets. Minimal processes such as cleaning, removing inedible parts, grinding, roasting, boiling, freezing, or pasteurization might be used primarily to make the pet food safe to eat or more palatable.
