There are so many different types of dog food, it can be hard to decide. I'd like to try high-end dog food, but what sets it apart from regular dog food? If you're unsure, please read this article!
Most cheap, commercially available dog foods contain artificial colorings and carcinogenic preservatives. Artificial colorings, in particular, are unnecessary for dogs who don't care about the color of their food.
Some artificial colorings, such as Blue No. 2, Red No. 2, and Red No. 40, which are banned in dog food overseas, are still used in Japan. While synthetic preservatives are virtually non-carcinogenic if not ingested in large quantities, their accumulation can be worrying.
High-end dog food is expensive because it's made with high-quality ingredients, but many of them are extremely free of allergens. Dog allergies are often caused by the accumulation of allergens in the food they eat on a daily basis, and they often develop due to some trigger. By being careful about the food you feed your dog on a daily basis, you can prevent allergies from occurring. Whether your dog has allergies or not, be sure to pay attention to its food.
First of all, "domestic" food is dangerous!?
If you think domestically produced food is safe, it may actually be dangerous.
Even domestically produced foods contain various additives, and some products may be labeled as domestically produced even if the ingredients are from another country.
Even with domestically produced foods, pay close attention to additives and preservatives to ensure there are no problems!
Benefits of Premium Dog Food
High-end dog foods often feature "grain-free," "high protein," "no artificial colorings," and "natural preservatives."
Grain refers to cereal grains. Dogs lack many enzymes that can break down grains, so they tend to remain in their bodies and cause allergies. They're not completely indigestible, so there's no need to go to extremes, but it's still a good idea to keep them in mind.
This refers to food that contains a high amount of protein. Foods that contain approximately 35% or more protein are classified as high protein. The benefits of feeding high-protein foods include a shinier coat, improved digestibility, and a more palatable diet. Did you know that 95% of a dog's fur is made up of protein? Proper protein intake leads to shinier coats! In fact, coat shininess is closely related not only to grooming but also to daily diet.
【Artificial Coloring-Free and Natural Preservatives?】
As mentioned above, artificial colorings provide no nutritional value to dogs; they are used solely to add color.
Artificial colorings are unnecessary for dogs, so be sure to choose food that is artificial coloring-free. Additives should not be completely avoided, as some may increase your dog's appetite or contain vitamins. If they contain nutrients necessary for dogs, there's no problem with them being included as additives.
Disadvantages of Premium Dog Food
The disadvantage of premium dog food is, of course, its high price.
If the unit price of something you feed your dog every day, rather than just an occasional treat, is high, it can put a strain on your household budget... Choosing premium dog food is of course good for your dog, but you also want to consider cost-effectiveness.
In addition, while most premium dog foods contain basic nutrients, they may not contain the nutrients you want, so it's important to carefully check the ingredients and preservatives and additives used.
Recommended Premium Dog Food
We'll introduce the above recommended premium dog foods, taking into account their ingredients and country of origin!
Mishwan
No artificial colorings or preservatives! High protein and grain-free.
When it comes to premium dog food, it's MICHE ONE! It's no exaggeration to say that the ingredients are truly satisfying.
This product is often advertised and has very high overall reviews.
Highly rated by veterinarians, it's nutritionally sound. Highly recommended!
It uses human-grade meat, so you can trust it!
Start by purchasing a single item and see how well it sells.
Golden Umami (Chicken)
Kin no Umami is made with natural ingredients that are safe for humans to eat!
This food is especially recommended for dogs who are concerned about eye discharge and tear stains!
Although it contains grains, it's rich in lactic acid bacteria to help regulate the intestinal environment, so it's well-equipped! For dogs who get stomach upset from high-protein foods, you won't have to force protein on them. This food is recommended for such dogs and small dogs! Please give Kin no Umami a try!
regalia
This food is suitable for all dog breeds, and is especially recommended for small dogs weighing under 10kg!
A 96% veterinarian recommendation rate! This highly popular food is supervised by veterinarians.
This food is just as nutritionally balanced as the two above, and is also highly recommended.
With a protein content of 28%, it's perfect for small dogs and those with less exercise. Protein tends to be high in calories, so if you give too much protein to a dog that doesn't get much exercise, it can become obese. If you have such a dog, we recommend you try this food!
