How to recognize good food? Read the composition!
What to look for and what to avoid
Look for in the composition
- +"Chicken meat 60%" - specific meat with a percentage in 1st place
- +"Fresh salmon", "Dried beef" - named protein sources
- +Short, clear composition - the less "chemistry", the better
- +Protein 25-35% (dry), 8-12% (wet) - for adult dogs
Avoid in the composition
- −"Meat and animal derivatives" - what exactly is that?
- −"Cereals", "Vegetable products" in first place
- −Sugar, syrup, caramel - unnecessary and harmful
- −BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin - artificial preservatives
Pro tip: Ingredients are always listed from largest to smallest quantity. If "chicken" is in 1st place and "rice" in 2nd - that's good. But if you see "wheat", "wheat flour" and "wheat bran" separately - the manufacturer split up the cereals to make them look like a smaller share than the meat.
