Training Tip

Tip of the Day:  When choosing a pet food look primarily at the first 5 ingredients. A food company has to list their ingredients in descending weight so the first 5 are the bulk of your pets food. In those first five ingredients look for two protein sources, usually a whole protein source like chicken, lamb, herring etc. and then a protein meal, any of the whole protein sources with meal after it. Avoid foods with by-products and ones with food color additives and ones that are vague and list items such as poultry meal, meat by product, animal fat. It leaves the company with a lot of wiggle room.
