Whether you are a pet novice or a pet expert, it is inevitable that you will be at a loss on the way to raise a pet. The outside world is full of advertisements, and the pet store around you sells it. As pet owners, our faces are always confused. Dog food suitable for dogs is particularly important, one is nutritious, and the other is delicious. I do not recommend any brands here, but simply talk about the selection principle.
1. Delicious dog food may not be suitable for dogs
The current dog food market is chaotic, and palatability has become the focus of propaganda by major manufacturers. Some dogs are picky eaters. Occasionally, they encounter a dog food that dogs like to eat. , you must clearly realize that delicious dog food is salty and contains relatively high salt content. Long-term salt intake is equivalent to harming dogs.
Apart from the salty dog food, there is one kind of dog food that smells very fragrant and contains additives, so this kind of dog food with additives is also not advisable.
2. Dog food that dogs don’t like is not necessarily bad
In some cases, dogs don’t like to eat dog food after a few bites, or they don’t like to eat it when they smell it. This kind of dog food does not exclude additives, but some foods are well-proportioned and nutritious. Does not contain additives flavor, salt, oil. Therefore, the existence of such food cannot be ruled out
3. Don’t blindly listen to advertisements
Many dog food advertisements advertise that dog food contains chicken and fish, but the ingredients list shows that it contains chicken meal and fish meal. How much nutrition can dogs get from eating it? There are even those with vegetable powder. Is it really healthy for dogs to eat them?
4. Multiple choices, don’t listen
In the current situation that the awareness and popularization of the pet industry in China is not yet high, don’t listen to other people’s recommendations. Maybe they don’t have as much knowledge about pet nutrition as you do, so you don’t have to listen to them.
Now that we are here, how do we choose? Now I will take you to a little science
1. Pay attention to raw materials and look at the ratio
When choosing dog food, you must choose a legal and qualified manufacturer. Don’t think that it’s bad if you haven’t heard of it. Don’t believe in creating momentum, because there is currently no authority in China. When choosing dog food, you must know the raw materials behind it and its nutritional content, and discard the food that contains it. Additives, flavors and other substances in dog food
The combination of vegetables, meat, and cereals is the best way to match. It is necessary to choose natural substances, such as fresh chicken, carrots and other natural substances.
2. Avoid blindly pursuing imported grains (protein content)
The quality of many imported products is indeed very good, but the selection should be based on the conditions of the dogs. Foreign dogs are basically free-range dogs, while domestic dogs are basically not free-range, and imported The difference in food is mainly in the protein content, foreign dogs can consume and absorb, while domestic dogs can’t consume and can only absorb, so the final result can be imagined
3. Cost-effective
To choose a cost-effective food, if the price is too expensive, it will become a burden to keep a pet, and if the price is too cheap, it is not good for the dog’s health. Choose carefully and consume reasonably
Masters, have you learned? Since it is raised, it is responsible, so treat our pets kindly.
