Dog Food Selection Myth-Busting Knowledge

Carbohydrates causing obesity: Carbohydrates are widely found in grains, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, serving as the primary source of energy for all living organisms.

They mainly provide calories, and many claims that grain carbs easily lead to weight gain are false. Have you ever seen someone get fat from eating rice? Protein, fat, and carbs are all factors in obesity.

Grain-free dog food and low allergenicity: Speaking of grain-free dog food, we must mention gluten. A small portion of dogs is allergic to grains, but it's actually gluten they're allergic to. Wheat has the highest gluten content, while rice, brown rice, oatmeal, and pearl rice have much lower gluten contents, with oatmeal being gluten-free. The "gluten-free" claim in Europe and America isn't actually 0 gluten but rather gluten content within a safe range.

Grain-free dog food is suitable for dogs allergic to grains, but it's not guaranteed to prevent allergies.

Meat allergies: In addition to grain allergies, meat can also cause allergies. Common ones include seafood and beef allergies. Does this mean we shouldn't feed dogs fish formula or beef formula foods?

Legumes and plant proteins: It's often said that cats and dogs have low absorption rates of legume and grain proteins, and some even claim that cats don't absorb plant proteins at all. Look at imported brands like Orijen and Acana; they add so many legumes to boost crude protein content. Cat foods are the most outrageous in this regard.

Now let me share my criteria for selecting food: ① Crude protein must be ≥25% ② No added plant protein powders (due to low absorption rates) ③ Flavor enhancers must clearly state their source, whether hydrolyzed or enzyme-treated ④ No chemical additives ⑤ Not just meat meal (dehydrated X meat). The so-called meat meal is defatted and dehydrated. Many newbies think dehydrated chicken is high-end, but it's actually just meat meal. Otherwise, why wouldn't they specify the process, like air-dried or smoked meat? The Ministry of Agriculture's pet food standards do not recognize dehydrated meat; meat meal is meat meal, fresh meat is fresh meat, and the process should be stated.

1. Benetex Full Price Chicken Formula Dog Food ￥140/1.8kg

The main meat in this dog food is chicken and chicken meal, with no grains, moderately sized kibbles, and a small amount of freeze-dried ingredients.

It has very good palatability and is relatively hypoallergenic. The cost-performance ratio is really good, and my dog loves it.

2. Bernese Mountain Dog Duck & Pear ￥239/2kg

Many people recommend Bernese Mountain Dog Duck & Pear as a tear stain-reducing dog food. Although the protein and crude fat content are on the higher side, the formula is very light and heat-reducing.

However, small breed dogs with sensitive stomachs should be cautious when feeding, as this caused soft stools in my Bichon Frise.

3. Lanxia Salmon & Vegetables ￥93/1.8kg

This well-reputed domestic dog food is high in protein and uses tea polyphenols and vitamin E for antioxidant purposes, containing many beauty-enhancing ingredients.

The meats include salmon and chicken as whole meats, not pure meat meal. The palatability is good, and dogs' coats become shinier after consumption.

4. Chen Bu Ni Ti Natural Dog Food ￥138/2.5kg

A preferred brand recommended by CCTV programs, with a high meat content of 55%, including four types of meat, and strong palatability.

It has effects on improving heat symptoms, tear stains, and enhancing coat beauty, making it very suitable for small breed dogs. It's one of my dog's favorite foods.

5. Bille Full Price Adult Dog Food Duck & Purple Sweet Potato ￥75/1.5kg

Bille's dog food has whole meat sources, and the protein and crude fat are also moderately balanced, offering a good cost-performance ratio.

My dog eats well with this, and the duck & purple sweet potato formula can reduce heat and clear heat, making it a must-try for dogs with tear stains.

Everyone should purchase according to their own budget! The key is not the price but finding the most suitable food for your furry friend!
