Red Lentils

What it is

Lentils of the red variety, which are hulled and split so they cook down quickly.

Other ways this ingredient gets described

  • Lentils are not generally in dog foods. This isn’t any problem, they are an acceptable carbohydrate source. And again, your dog will not likely have been exposed to these unless you’ve been cooking for him. It is extremely unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.

Potential benefits for dogs

Cook down fast and deliver the same plant protein, fiber and iron as brown lentils.
