Buying the right food is essential to keep your dog fit and full of energy. The food they need depends on the dog's state of life, health and special needs. This means that your dogs nutritional needs can change from time to time. Knowing what foods are the best for your dog can improve your dog's quality of life.
Dry foods are the most convenient type of food. It's easy to store as it isn't as sensitive to warm or moist conditions as wet food does. If your pet is making a mess when eating wet food, dry foods won't have a problem with that. Moreover, you can leave the food in the bowl for the entire day and it won't get spoiled. This is perfect if you're going out for some time and would like to keep your pet well fed before you arrive. Dry foods are also excellent for travels as one small bag is enough for a day trip while wet foods will require you two to three cans of it.
With many dog food brands in the market, are you sure you are getting the right one for them? With thousands of dog food brands available in the market, these are the things to look out for in a dry dog food. The list could go on and on but here are some of the most important things to look for:
1. All organic - no chemical preservatives
2. Has 75% fat to protein ratio or lower
3. Ample carbohydrate content
4. No artificial coloring agents
5. Contains no unknown meat ingredients
After reviewing a few dog food brands, here are the ones that meet that criteria:
