Which dog food is the best?

When visiting your local dog food store, it can be a real challenge deciding on what food to get your dog. As the saying goes: you get out what you put in. But many dog owners aren’t aware that dogs really need a more omnivorous diet full of different ingredients.

However, the problem arises when there are so many ingredients on the market, so which do you look for? To help you out, we’ve listed below some of the most important ingredients that should be on the back of your dog food’s ingredient list.

Your dog’s food must include whole proteins

Proteins are an essential macro for humans and dogs. Dog food with included protein contains essential amino acids that support muscle strength and bodily functions.

Protein can come from a wide range of sources including: nuts, soybeans, and eggs. While these are good sources of protein, you should ensure your dog food also includes real meat such as beef, lamb, poultry, fish, or other venison meat.

Mineral complexes that can help promote a healthy dog

Minerals such as zinc, iron, potassium, calcium, and manganese are crucial to the health of your pup. Minerals can support wound healing, promote a healthy digestive system & metabolism, as well as strengthen their immune system. All that good stuff that you definitely want your dog to have.

Good fats are important for your dog’s wellbeing

Most of us go into a state of panic when we think about fat, but the good news is, not all fats are bad! In fact, fats such as Omega 3 and 6 can help improve cell function, provide energy, and help your dog’s body to absorb vitamins. Look for good fat sources provided in fish oil, olive oil, and canola oil.

Of course, don’t forget your pup’s vitamins!

We all know that vitamins can be beneficial to health, but it’s not commonly known that vitamins can also be great for dogs too! You want to give your pooch vitamins that will promote good health and wellbeing. But which vitamins should make it on the list?

Look for B-Vitamins that come in the form of biotins. Vitamin A is also vital for your pup’s skin, and Vitamin E is beneficial for the immune system.

Taste of the Wild’s High Prairie Canine Formula has an excellent source of vitamins, and high-quality carbohydrates that comes from delicious potatoes and peas.

So before you decide the worth of your dog’s food based on price or brand, take some time to read the ingredients on the back of the package. If some of the ingredients mentioned above are included on the packaging, then you can feel pretty confident that it will be good for your dog.
