What is good dog food?

You want the very best for your dog. But what is the best dog food? What does good dog food need to meet? We are happy to tell you what the best dog food should contain!

You can already gather a lot of information from the composition of the food. For example, you can see which ingredient has the largest share in the food; the ingredients in the composition are always listed in descending order.

Characteristics of good dog food


1. Good dog food has meat as the first ingredient
The digestive system of dogs is designed to digest meat. Meat is therefore an easily digestible source of protein for our loyal four-legged friends. Moreover, meat is a source of essential vitamins and minerals.

2. Good dog food contains no animal by-products
Avoid dog kibble where the composition indicates that the food contains animal by-products. Animal by-products are often less digestible, and when included in the food, you do not know exactly from which animals the meat by-products originate.

 

3. Easily digestible dog food contains no grains, or is low in grains
Ingredients like grains, especially when used in large amounts in the food or if the quality is poor, can reduce the digestibility of the food. The fewer grains included in the food, the better.

4. The best dog food is 100% natural
At Riverwood, we believe that artificial fragrances, colors, and flavorings do not belong in dog food. These artificial additives have no positive effect on the nutrients. Artificial preservatives also do not belong in pet food, such as BHA and BHT. These preservatives can cause unpleasant health problems.

5. The best dog food contains a powerful mix of natural antioxidants
A mix of natural, powerful antioxidants supports the health of your loyal four-legged friend. Riverwood formulas are preserved with powerful, natural antioxidants.

Good dog food is important. As described above, there are various characteristics that help you know if dog food suits your dog well. Grain-free dog food and dog food with meat are the most important. These can be found in our range!
