What’s in your dog’s food?

Your dog’s food is one of the most important factors in their life.Your dog gets everything their body needs, from the energy needed to keep them active, to the incredible array of nutrients that form every tissue and keep every cellular process going through their diet. Using the right food with the right nutritional value is key to your dog’s health, too much or too little of any one nutrient can quickly have an effect on your dog’s health. 

Quality is hugely important when it comes to what we feed our dogs. Thankfully in the UK the quality of your pet's food is subject to nutritional regulation. To qualify as a complete food the recipe must conform to legislation and provide a minimum standard of nutrition. Feeding a higher quality diet is healthier for the dog, but it could also save you money. When the food is more nutritionally dense, you don’t need to feed as much, so a bag will last longer. 

The independent dog food review site allaboutdogfood.co.uk provides a nutritional rating out of 100, plus a cost per day guide based on RRP. This allows you to compare not just on price, but on nutritional content too. You may be shocked to find that some cheaper dog food, works out more expensive than better quality foods as you have to feed your dog more to achieve a comparable nutritional benefit.
