In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics terms it is classified as 'hot.' Its warming effect is considered especially strong, and it is often chosen in cold weather. For dogs that run hot, keeping it modest is the safer choice.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
