soy
Soy is a protein derived from soybeans, commonly used as a replacement for animal protein in foods. Soy is not easily digestible for humans letalone dogs, so foods or treats with soy in them you should skip.
What it is?
Soy is traditionally used in pet food in place of meat for pets with allergies. Soy is cheap and does contain a lot of protein, but lacks the essential kind of vitamins and minerals to fit your pup's nutritional needs.
How it applies?
90% of American soybeans are genetically modified(GMO) and have been found to contain high levels of pesticides and natural toxins. Soy has caused quite a few issues for pets over the years: Seizures, GI upset, stunted growth, and brain damage due to high amounts of aluminum.
