How to evaluate a good pet food product?
Commercial pet food products are widely available in most of the major supermarkets and feed stores. Pet owners are becoming more interested than ever in the pet food quality of the products available. Here are several tips to help the pet owner make better choices with pet food products. Pet owners should steer clear of dyes contained in the food. Some of the dyes are dangerous to the pet’s system. The artificial coloring agents are used to make the pet food products more attractive to the pet owner. There is no nutritional value to the various dyes used in pet food products. Blue no. 2, Red no. 40, and Yellow no. 5 are some of the commonly used colors in pet food. Be sure to choose a pet food that contains L-Carnitine and Taurine. These nutrients help protect the animal’s heart. This protein source is responsible for carrying important fatty acids to the heart. Heart health is important in pets because this can impact the pet’s activity level. If the pet food contains grains, try to select a brand that is rich in whole grain. Whole grains include brown rice, barley and oats. The veterinarian community is somewhat divided on whether or not animals benefit from any form of grain within a diet. But whole grain is recommended for those who use commercial brand pet food for their animals. A food with probiotics helps support the digestive health of an animal. A healthy digestive system is helpful in building up immunity within a pet. A healthy digestive system also helps the animal absorb the nutrients within the food. A strong immune system is achieved through feeding a pet food that is rich in probiotics. The next ingredient to look for in pet food is the ingredient corn. It is best to make sure that corn isn’t one of the first four or five ingredients. Ideally, meat should be the first ingredient. Many of the expensive and cheaper commercial brands use a great deal of corn as filler in their products. A better pet food will not name corn within the first few ingredients. Corn is a cheap ingredient and it helps pet food manufacturers keep costs down. The ability to select better pet food comes from understanding how to read the label. The more expensive food is not always the healthiest food choice.
