How to Properly Choose Dog Food?
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and now people have better food and more choices to eat. This also applies to dogs' food, which is becoming increasingly diverse. However, in daily life, dogs mainly eat dry food or wet food. Both types of dog food provide important nutrients, but the key is how owners should choose them to best suit their dogs' bodies. Let's explore the differences between dry and wet food, and how owners can combine them.
Many cheap dog foods are made from the worst leftover meat scraps produced in factories. So, don't just blindly chase low prices and let your golden retriever eat very cheap dry dog food for a long time. This is not good for the dog.
If you want to provide your golden retriever dog with the best and most natural food, you can learn how to make fresh dog food yourself; or choose a good quality, commercially available frozen raw food or dehydrated food. This could be a high-quality wet food. Even low-quality wet food usually contains 100% more animal protein than any good dry food, and the amount of grains is also less.
Current domestic dog food, what we often call commercial dog food, doesn't have much strict requirement for nutritional indicators, its purpose is just to meet the most basic growth needs. Overall, it's still relatively cost-effective.
Dogs are meat-eating animals, so they should eat meat (animal protein) as the main component. The packaging on dog food specifies the percentage of raw materials listed on the formula, and the higher the ranking, the more important the meat should be. The more diverse the meat is, the better.
