YOUR REPORT CARD

If you are looking for a higher a quality dog food, here are some things we look for:

1. Look for a dog food high in quality animal protein like poultry, fish and beef. We recommend foods that are 50% or higher in combined fat and animal protein. The protein should be from "named" sources like duck, salmon or lamb, not generic "meat", fish or poultry.

2. Look for a dog food that is low in starchy carbohydrates and sugars (you may have to call the company to find this information as few disclose it on the packaging). We recommend carbohydrate levels that are less than 30% of the total formula and starch and sugar levels less than 15% of the total. The carbohydrates used should be low in starch and sugar like brown rice, sweet potato, carrots, green beans, spinach, and mushrooms. Not white rice, potato, tapioca starch, beet pulp, tomoato pomace, or peas.

3. Look for a dog food that is made with simple ingredients and no synthetic vitamins, minerals, or amino acids (the ingredients in the food with the chemical-sounding names). That way your dog gets nourished as they were intended – from nature – not from something made in a lab. Lastly, look for pet food companies that provide a full disclosure of where their foods are made and where they source their ingredients from – not just a few vanity ingredients – all of the ingredients they use. Ideally these are sourced from countries with good safety practices like the US, Canada, and Europe and are not sourced from China (which has a history of safety problems with both pet food and human food).
