Soybean Oil

A plant oil that supplies linoleic acid and a little omega-3.

Soybean oil supplies energy, linoleic acid and some alpha-linolenic acid, a plant omega-3. It’s one of the most widely used oils in food, and “vegetable oil” on a label is usually soybean oil or a blend.

Refining removes nearly all of the protein, so it’s unlikely to matter for most pets with a soy allergy, but ask your veterinarian if yours has one.

Also written as: Soy Oil, Vegetable Oil.
