In the dry dog food ingredient table, there are many different types of animal meat, depending on the processing technique:

Meat meal: This includes by-products such as feathers, nails, etc. Attention should be paid to really high quality dry food, and the ingredient list should say “meat and bone meal”, not just “meat meal”.

Dehydrated animal meat or jerky: Using this type of meat as the main ingredient shows that the quality of the dry food is good.

Fresh animal meat: This is the standard of high quality. However, compared with other ingredients in dry food, the proportion of fresh animal meat is not very high, because in the process of processing, fresh meat may be less than half of the original after dehydration.

As for grains, neither is necessary in the diet of dogs or cats. So grain-free products are more ideal. However, if the dry food you choose happens to contain grains, rice is fine, but avoid dry foods that contain corn and wheat, as these two grains have a higher risk of allergy.

It is not recommended to buy dry food products with grains as the main ingredient. In addition, adding many kinds of vegetables is beneficial to improve the quality of dry food, such as apples (helps to control cholesterol), blueberries, etc., each has different effects.

Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids have many functions, including protecting your pet’s hair and skin. However, because the body cannot synthesize it by itself, it is particularly important to add it to dry food at this time.

Avoid preservatives and artificial colors. Natural preservatives like some spice (rosemary) or vitamin E are healthier and can perform other functions when added to dry food.
When purchasing dry food, you should pay attention to avoid it: it contains artificial preservatives such as BHA (E-320), BHT (E-321), which can cause cancer if ingested for a long time. Contains certain by-products, the main raw material is not animal meat, the content of grains is too high, artificial colors and preservatives, etc.

The most reliable evidence to test whether a dog food is of high quality comes from the changes in the general physical condition and appearance of our companions over a period of time. If its hair is tough and shiny, its mouth is healthy, the quality and frequency of poop is normal, its immune system is functioning properly, and it’s healthy and active, then you’ve definitely picked the right dry food. A good diet can make the body healthier.
