Vitamin E (Tocopherol) as a Preservative

When it comes to keeping food fresh while offering health benefits, there is no better preservative than all-natural tocopherols (especially in dog food!). Tocopherol is a Vitamin E rich preservative, very common in foods and topical treatments. The kind of tocopherol we are going to talk about is extracted from plant and seed oils, keeping it all natural and great for health!

When adding tocopherol to dog food and treats, you are effectively adding a preservative that interacts with some of the ingredients to inhibit the oxidation of fats. Fats are very important to a balanced diet, and extending shelf life is vital. Tocopherol, as a preservative, is one of the most common preservatives found in dog food.

Vitamin E is very important to a dog’s diet. Making sure to have Vitamin E in diets helps cells carry our very important jobs in health and the body. Tocopherol helps nerves and muscles work well, something we can all agree extends happy lives! It also is known to prevent blood clots and it boosts the immune system. The vitamin richness of tocopherol attacks a lot of common issues that dogs get, ultimately building up a healthy lifestyle.

Working with tocopherol is very important to our treat making process. We love that there is an all-natural preservative that is flowing with vitamins! When adding tocopherol to our treats, we make sure to add an amount that will work with regular diets while preserving the shelf life of our treats. It is also a great boost of Vitamin E that we can depend on. 

At the end of the day, it is healthy for all dogs and animals to get Vitamin E. ALLFEAST treats are a great source of Vitamin E throughout the day and can aid an already well-balanced diet. We want all dogs to live happy and healthy lives, and fueling the cells that keep them running and jumping is part of our mission!
