Too many dog owners prefer to feed their pets with dry food. It is quite convenient and not burdensome. Today you can find a huge selection of dry feeds of both lower and premium class. They can be combined or mixed with other products. In addition, they contain all the necessary vitamins and minerals. The composition of the dry food is perfectly balanced and has a sufficient amount of protein and carbohydrates. Experienced breeders have compiled a list of dry feeds for premium dogs that reflect the best value for money.
Advantages and disadvantages
Among the most important advantages, dog owners name convenience above all. Sometimes this type of food helps save money. For example, the owner of the dog often does not need to purchase additional vitamin complexes, as for the most part the manufacturers have already added all the necessary substances to the composition of their products. Thanks to this food, the dog is protected from worms and other dangerous infections that are in the meat.
However, there is a dry feed and cons. In their manufacture, preservatives and dyes are used. In addition, sometimes manufacturers put products of rather poor quality. Bird beaks, claws, bones and blood can be mixed here. Cheap feeds contain vegetables and grain waste. That is why experienced breeders recommend the use of premium products.
Right choice
Sometimes it’s very difficult to make the right choice that fits your pet perfectly. It should be borne in mind that in economy-class products, as a rule, a huge amount of cereal and vegetable waste is contained. As for meat, most often manufacturers use processed bones and tendons.
For small dogs, there are special super-premium products. They have a lot of natural fat and very few preservatives. For active dogs there are feeds labeled “asset”. They contain lamb or rabbit meat.
Experts advise you to monitor the pet’s reaction to the new product. Sometimes there is an allergy in the form of tearing of the eyes, as well as constipation or, conversely, diarrhea. And also frequent changes of food can be a real stress for any dog. When choosing a product should take into account the age of the pet and its state of health. For example, for pregnant dogs there are certain foods enriched with the necessary substances for the full gestation of offspring, and for aging dogs the food intended for puppies is not suitable.
