The overwhelming choice of dog foods is enough to make a pooch parent’s head spin, from boutique foods to seemingly infinite types of kibble, each touting itself as most nutritious. How does one make sense of it all?
Start by choosing a food made in the United States, where the Association of American Feed Control Officers, or AAFCO, sets dietary standards for dogs of all ages. It’s ideal if the brand has gone through feeding trials.
The manufacturer should employ veterinary nutritionists take part in peer-reviewed research. They should also be easy to contact if you have questions.
In the end, your dog’s health will be the judge. Monitor your buddy’s weight, stool, skin and coat and contact your veterinarian if anything’s off.
