Choosing Dog Food: Three Points to Consider

When choosing dog food, check the following three points.

Ingredients
Safety
Kibble size and type

It's important to check the ingredients and safety, and choose the kibble size and type according to your pet's age and constitution.

Let's take a closer look at each point.

1) Ingredients

Once you find a dog food that interests you, first check the ingredients.

In particular, if it contains a large amount of grains such as wheat or corn, these ingredients may cause food allergies.

These days, there are many grain-free and gluten-free dog foods on the market. If you're concerned about your dog's food allergies, choose a grain-free or gluten-free option.

Also, make sure the ingredients include your dog's favorite foods. If your dog's favorite foods, such as meat or fish, are included, you can expect them to eat them well.

2) Safety

Another important thing to check is whether unnecessary additives or inferior ingredients are used.

In recent years, the Pet Food Safety Act has made it mandatory to list the additives used in dog food.

Check to see if any additives contain the following ingredients, which are not entirely safe.

BHA (Butylhydroxyanisole)
BHT (Butylhydroxytoluene)
Sodium erythorbate
Sodium nitrite
Glycyrrhizin
pH adjuster
Flavoring
Seasoning
Leaving agent
Antioxidants, etc.

Consuming the above additives will not immediately cause health problems, but continued consumption may have adverse effects on the body, such as straining internal organs and allergic reactions.

Be wary of products that contain ingredients such as 4D meat, chicken by-products, or fish by-products, where the exact type of meat is unclear.

The type of animal meat used is generally listed on the manufacturer's website or product packaging. Be wary of dog food that does not contain information about the meat used.

If the manufacturer publicly states that it uses "highly safe ingredients," you can be sure that the product is safe. We also recommend dog food labeled "human grade (highly safe ingredients at the same level as human food)."

3) Crunch Size and Type

Dog food types can be broadly divided into the following four categories:

Dry food: Crunchy granules
Soft dry food: Slightly moist
Semi-moist food: Very moist
Wet food: Soft with high moisture content

Generally, the higher the moisture content, the easier it is for dogs with weak teeth or senior dogs to eat. Smaller granules are also easier to chew.

Choose the best type based on your dog's constitution and age.

Semi-moist and wet food tend to have a stronger aroma than dry food. If your dog isn't eating well, feeding it a dog food with a strong aroma can help improve its appetite.
