The key is to read pet food labels. They’ll pretty much tell you the whole story. Just like people food, they’re required by law to list the ingredients in the order of the amounts they contain. Use this report to educate yourself about what some of those ingredients mean.
The first part of THE DOG FOOD REPORT is provided by the Animal Protection Institute. It will examine what's in most supermarket brands of dog foods and even some brands considered "premium, as well as what to look for on the ingredients label.
Further along we’ll discuss the growing popularity of the RAW and BARF diets as well as make some specific recommendations of pet food brands that we like and why.
While I’ve been lucky to have a veterinarian who has supported my efforts to feed my dog a varied diet that includes vegetables, fruits, various meats and table scraps, many vets are simply not trained in animal nutrition and pretty much parrot what they learned in vet school that a dog needs to eat the same thing day in and day out it’s whole life. The fact remains that much of what vets learn in vet school are sponsored by large pet food companies. And nutrition is really a sub-specialty and most vets are actually generalists.
