What is the healthiest kind of dry dog food for small dogs?
There are some great brands out there like Nutro Natural Choice, Natural Balance, Castor and Pollux… ect… Many will suit your dog just fine, but let’s look at how to buy dog food. 1.) Check the ingredients which are listed by weight. You want ingredients like chicken, duck, and salmon listed as the first few ingredients. Ingredients you don’t want too much of are kinda obvious like meat byproduct, rice, chicken meal. 2.) Check the guaranteed analysis. Puppies need around 25% protein and 16% fat, adults need around 21% protein and 14% fat, senior dogs need even less. Best thing to do is compare the puppy, adult and senior foods all from the same brand and then grab a lesser brand to compare as well. 3.) You might also want to look at the company’s practices. Does this brand make a premium *and* grocery brand as well? Do they have corporate responsibility? Were they affected by the mass recall of a few years back? Do they own their own factory? I like Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balanc
