Leslie has dedicated a substantial part of her life researching commercial dog food looking for the best dog food for her dogs. her top 10 list points out how to select the best dog food brands.
Do you consider big name dog food brands to be made with the best dog food ingredients? My research shows that the names we know best have little to do with how healthy they are and more to do with the size of their advertising budget.
Sadly the best dog food for your dog is probably not even being sold in your Vets office. Just because a dog food is sold by your veterinarian does not mean it is the healthiest food available.
After my Beagle started suffering from Seizures, I have spent a lot of time researching the best dog food available on the market. After some research I could determine the contents of dog food better than my own food.
As I carried out more studies of dog food, the unethical scenario of commercial dog food became clearer to me, which was main problem.
It didn't take me long to figure out that I would have to learn some things about the Pet food industry in order to give my dogs the best dog food that's out there.
I have documented my findings in many articles about the pet food industry, which is virtually self-regulated, and about how the industry uses deceptive labeling language to deceive pet owners about true contents of pet food.
There is no law to assist us for selecting most suitable dog food apart from the law that makes it compulsory to mention the contents on label in descending order of weight of ingredients. So you need to look at the first ingredient and if it reads corn, then it doesn't matter if the bag says Turkey dinner, the main ingredient is corn.
The best thing to do is skip over the name on the bag and go straight to the ingredient list. After looking at the first few ingredients and rubbing your head, then you can look at the rest of the list which you'll have no clue what the word mean. Yet here I am telling you the label is still the best place to learn what is really in the food.
Some of the top brand dog foods, use dried egg products as one of their ingredients, this not the same as using eggs. The truth is that what goes into dried egg products is not fit for human consumption, so why would we feed it to our dogs? The same thing with Chicken by-products, this is a far cry from any chicken you would throw on the grill for supper tonight.
When you look at the listed ingredients of this item, you can figure out some of them, however it will be more difficult to identify the preservatives and vitamins as the names are less familiar.
After compiling my research I was able to construct a guide to picking the best quality dog food.
I thought I would have a very tough time winnowing down 150 brands down to the top 10 best dog foods available but I could find only 10 brands that deserved to be on that list. I'll guarantee you that after you compare the ingredient list of my 10 best dog food list to the brands sold by your Vet, you will stop asking your Vet for healthy feeding advice.
