Dog Food Considerations
How does one determine what is low quality and what is not? This may sound like a
complicated puzzle, but it really is not. Below is a check list to keep in mind that will help you to
know the difference between your run of the mill dog food, and a high quality product.
- Generally, low quality dog foods are sold in grocery stores, while premium products are not.
- Premium food products will usually cost a little more than the cheap food. This is the case
because, to create a better product, better ingredients need to be used so this raises the price
for everybody.
- Premium products will contain no animal by-products but cheap products will. This is the case,
because animal byproducts provide a significantly cheaper alternative to quality nutritional
sources.
- Premium products will contain no artificial colors, or sugar, while the cheaper alternatives will.
- When reading the label on a dog food bag, the protein component will be listed first. For a
premium dog food this list will commence with a whole meat, such as a poultry or fish listing.
