Dog food is the food that dogs have to eat every day, the good or bad dog food directly affects the health of dogs, but there are many varieties of dog food on the market, some are packaged in cans, some are bagged, do you know how to select dog food to meet the needs of dogs? If the selection is improper and the feeding method is not correct, it may lead to pet illness. This article today teaches you, how to properly select dog food. Selection steps 1. choose a big brand Big brand of dog food has a high degree of maturity, good quality and stability, after-sales service is also guaranteed. If there is a problem, it is relatively easy to complain and compensate. 2. Look at the composition of the ingredients of dog food The dog food in the regular packaging, the above will be marked with the product ingredients, dog food to have meat, “the first main ingredient” preferably fresh meat, or at least meat powder, rather than corn and wheat and other grains, otherwise the dog food will lack a lot of nutrition. In addition, quality dog food will usually have enough protein (more than 20%) and fat (more than 10%), and some must have vitamins, crude fiber, probiotics, etc. 3. look at the dog food itself Good dog food, the surface is not too much oil, but the texture is tight, not puffed. A lot of oil on the surface means that it contains too much animal fat, or the surface is sprayed with oil treatment. Fresh meat will not have too much oil oozing out. There is another kind of dog food, the surface is too dry, the texture is very light and loose, that is after the puffing process. Such dog food nutritional composition can be imagined. 4. smell good natural food, the taste is relatively light. It is very natural food smell, the taste is very heavy basic will not be natural food. Do not choose to smell very strong, or with a fishy smell, or a great oil smell, too heavy taste are the role of spices and additives. Natural ingredients do not have a very heavy taste, so do not go into this misunderstanding, not the taste of fragrance is good. 5. Taste a good natural dog food, chew in the mouth without odor. Remember the three not: not oily, not fishy, not salty. This is basically the real natural food. Taste, natural food texture is more compact, but chewing is more brittle, can be easily chewed. Again, three no: not hard, not skin, not chaff. Remember these experiences, the next time you buy back dog food, you can help your dog to taste first, we will be able to identify the good and bad dog food in advance. 6. choose according to their needs What are your needs? Some owners pursue the effectiveness of beautiful hair, then it may be more recommended to choose fish dog food. If the dog’s stomach is not very good, then perhaps hypoallergenic dog food is more suitable, fat dogs may be suitable to eat low-fat some dog food. However, do not be too mythical dog food, not eat beautiful hair dog food on the hair becomes very good, not eat tear marks dog food will be no tear marks, these can only be used as a reference. 7. Buy wet food canned need to pay attention to wet food is the market to see the canned, meat pellets package and other products, these products contain water between 60-80%, is the choice of fresh meat plus vegetables and other nutrients, after high temperature sterilization to do out of the food. 8. Imported food to pay attention to the authenticity of many well-known imported food often caused by fake food due to lack of supply. Take care to buy from a reliable source and ensure formal import procedures. The state imposes strict controls on imported grains. Certain brands that are not on the import list should be avoided and there is no guarantee of availability. 9. Pay attention to the shelf life The shelf life of puffed dog food, for example, is usually 18 months. Therefore, please pay attention to whether it has expired or has expired at the time of purchase. The shelf life is better to choose a shorter one, because the long shelf life may be more preservatives. After the above points, I believe that pet owners have a new understanding of the choice of dog food. We can all find a dog food suitable for our own dogs, so that they grow up healthy! This type of food because of the high water content, so eat as soon as possible after opening, especially in summer when the temperature is too high, a few hours after opening may be moldy and spoiled, so put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate and reheat it before giving it to your pet, but control the temperature to prevent scalding your pet’s mouth. Wet food because of the high water content, so the cost of feeding wet food is higher than dry food, but wet food palatability is better than dry food; wet food is also more suitable for some pets with dental disease to eat, to avoid more serious dental damage caused by chewing dry food, but long-term wet food-based food pets need to be combined with dental bone to play a clean mouth, because many dogs like to swallow large mouth without biting, long-term, teeth will gradually degenerate atrophy, and may even have tooth decay. But for older dogs, eating wet food is better, because older dogs will also have more dental problems, eating dry dog food will be more effort. Secondly, for physically obese dogs, wet food cans contain a lot of water, the dog will fill up a little faster, so you can let the dog eat less. Note 1. When buying new dog food, it is recommended not to buy too much at a time, so that the dog at home may be allergic to dog food or eating unaccustomed to the problem, resulting in a waste of dog food. 2. Pay attention to sealing the lid to preserve, you can buy a bucket or milk can and then pour in a week’s worth of portions. Other dog food can be put into 2 large packets of desiccant, then wrap the opened dog food and put it in the finishing box.
