What you need to know about dog food brands

🥑Holy guacamole - there's a lot of dog food out there - and all of them say 'natural' 'real' 'healthy" etc and it is hard to know if it is good or not. 🤔

I always go to their online sites and eventually find the ingredients in the dog food and the nutritional details about the dog food and this is where I have realised the 'natural' 'real' 'healthy" jargon is good marketing as all the dog food brands I look at contain carbs like rice, potato, corn or potato (aka filler) and this is just not what dogs need in their dog food plus there are a lot of additives and preservatives knocking around too!

What you need to know about dog food

Firstly, don't let anyone tell you dogs need starchy carbs - they don't and they have ZERO nutritional need for them. 

Plus having a high carbohydrate content means the protein content will be much less - and when you start looking at dog food labels you will notice that most commercial dog food is upwards of 50% carbs.

It is a REALLY good idea to start reading the labels of your dog food
