1. Look for High-Quality Protein
Dogs thrive on protein, so the first ingredient in their food should always be a named protein source, like chicken, beef, or fish. Avoid vague terms like "meat meal" or "by-products."
2. Avoid Fillers and Artificial Ingredients
Corn, soy, and wheat are common fillers that offer little nutritional value. Look for foods free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Natural is always better!
3. Consider Your Dog’s Age and Size
Puppies, adults, and senior dogs have different nutritional needs. Similarly, small and large breeds require tailored diets to support their growth and health.
4. Think About Your Dog’s Specific Needs
- Does your dog have itchy skin or allergies? Look for hypoallergenic options.
- Low energy or joint issues? Add a supplement like Aniwell’s Muscle Formula to their routine.
- Sensitive stomach? Consider foods with probiotics or add Aniwell’s Probiotic Bites.
5. Transition Gradually
When switching to new food, mix it with the old food over 7–10 days to avoid upsetting your dog’s stomach. This slow transition helps their digestive system adjust.
