Do You Know What Your Pet Is Eating?
Just as you compare human foods at the grocery store using nutrition and ingredients labels, you can also compare dog food brands and cat food brands by reading their ingredients labels (the non-marketing, objective part of the pet food packaging). Regulations require that pet food ingredients be listed in the order of their content by weight. That means the main ingredient will be listed first, the next most important ingredient second, and so on.
In the table below we have compared the ingredients label of our Flint River Ranch Adult Dog Food formula with the labels of four other leading dog food brands. We have identified undesirable ingredients with bold type and a legend number. See the list below for comments pertinent to each undesirable ingredient. Our Reading Pet Labels FAQ has additional information about pet food labels and what to look for in pet foods.
Comparison of Popular Dog Food Brands
(1) Corn Meal, Corn Gluten Meal, Corn Oil: Corn is indigestible to dogs, due to their short intestine.
(2) Chicken By-Product: Ingredients
listed as animal by-products are not required to include actual meat. Chicken by-products may include intestine, chicken heads, feathers, bone, beaks, and feet.
(3) Dried Egg Product: Ingredients listed as 'product' may include an unspecified part of the product. In this case, egg product may include eggshells, and may also not include any egg whites.
(4) Natural Chicken Flavor: Any flavor added reflects the lack of flavor in the main food ingredients.
(5) Soybean Meal: Filler product of little to no nutritional value to dogs.
(6) BHA/BHT: Chemical preservatives that have been banned for human use in many countries. They are still allowed for use in pet foods in the U.S.
