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.

Processed

These are made by adding salt, oil, sugar, or other substances from group 2 to pet foods from group 1. Their purpose is often to increase shelf life or enhance flavor. Examples include canned pet food, pet treats, and other ready to serve 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.

Whole Food

These are pet foods in their natural state, with all their nutritional properties intact. Examples include fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, and other ingredients for pets. These pet foods are consumed in the form they are found in nature, without any alterations to make them safer or more palatable.
