When it comes to choosing the best dog food for your pup, it's important to know what ingredients to avoid and which brands are the best. To help you with this, we have listed ten ingredients that you should avoid in dog food, such as BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), 4-D meats, corn, artificial food colors, omega-3 and omega-6, beet pulp, chocolate, raisins, grapes, onions, carrots, apples and supplements or vitamins. Kal Kan Complete Adult is one of the worst dog food brands as its main ingredient is corn. IAMS dog food may seem good at first glance as it contains chicken as its main ingredient, but it also contains beet pulp which can cause weight gain.
Twin Pet dog food usually attracts supporters of a plant-based diet but it contains meat by-products that are even worse for dogs than real meat. Cowboy Cookout is a great option for dry dog food as it contains 47% of good quality protein. Rachael Ray Nutrish PEAK dry dog food is another great option as it contains 30% high-quality proteins from free-range American beef, with some venison and lamb included. Fromm has all the high-quality dog food ingredients that should be present to strengthen the dog's immune system and provide balanced nutrition.
Taste of the wild is a US-based company that specializes in providing dogs with the best quality meat and doesn't use a lot of artificial flavors and colors like other bad dog food brands on this list. Ol' Roy is another bad dog food brand produced by Walmart that claims to contain everything your dog needs to maintain a healthy diet but is full of corn, soy and wheat which can cause significant digestive and health problems over time. When looking for the best dry dog food for your canine companion, look for an option that has the phrase Balanced and complete on the label. Some of the best brands include Cowboy Cookout, Rachael Ray Nutrish PEAK dry dog food and Fromm.
Remember to always consult with a veterinarian if you're unsure about what foods are dangerous for your pup.
