How to choose dog food

You can judge the quality of dog food by looking, smelling, tasting and feeding it.

Good dog food will be darker in color and have higher meat content, while lighter color may be due to lower meat content. Regarding the oil content, if you grab a handful without feeling a lot of oil on your hands, it means the oil content is moderate.

2. Smell: If the dog food smells very fragrant, it is most likely that some additives have been added, or there is a strong smell of industrial ingredients. This is bad dog food. Good dog food has a light meaty aroma.

3. Taste: If the dog food tastes crispy (like the texture of potato chips), or the dog food is too hard, it means that the puffing process of the dog food is not up to standard. Good dog food has a light meaty flavor, like the texture of compressed biscuits.

4. Feeding: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. It is better to let the dog choose by looking, smelling and tasting. You can judge whether a certain dog food is suitable for it by looking at its eyes and poop.
