Dry food or prepackaged nuts is a very convenient and popular food preferred by many dog raisers today. However, dog raisers must also be very careful to choose the most suitable and healthy food for your dog. Below are things that you need to pay attention to:
- Thoroughly check the expiry date before buying. It’s best to buy newly produced food.
- Choose the right food that suits your dog's age and size because food for a 2-kg Poodle dog is very different from that for a 20-kg Alaskan one.
- Avoid foods with sugar, artificial colors or flavors, or lots of added salt.
- Absolutely avoid nuts with chemical preservatives such as Ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT, propylene glycol, or sodium nitrate/nitrite. Some of these additives are suspected of causing cancer.
- Choose dog nuts with protein in the first 7 ingredients, such as chicken, fish, beef, lamb, etc.
- Choose products of reputable brands which are sold in official channels to avoid counterfeit and poor-quality stuff.
