We
love our dogs. Taking care of them is a number one priority for a lot
of people – and part of properly caring for your canine pal is
feeding him well. To make the right choice on which dog food to buy
for your pet, here’s what to look for:
- Animal protein – dogs are carnivores and it’s ideal to feed them animal protein. It is best to have the dog food you choose have this as a prominent part of its ingredients. Additionally, the ingredient list shouldn’t just say “meat.” The best dog food brands name where their meat comes from whether it be chicken, beef, or lamb.
- Animal protein meal – though it may sound nice to have fresh meat on the ingredient list, that’s still not enough for your canine companion. Meat contains a lot of water, lessening its protein content. Adding protein meal adds more of the necessary nutrients to the dog food.
- Vegetables, fruits, and grains – dogs need a balanced diet like people do. Additional food ingredients contain nutrients that they cannot get from meat is good. Fruits and vegetables have vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants to improve their health.
- Expiration date – the ideal “best by” date is 10 to 11 months away, which indicates the food was made recently. More than a year or two beyond the manufacture date usually means it has a lot of preservatives.
Check
the things mentioned above before buying food or edible treats for
your furry pals to assure their continued health.
