Prioritize legitimate channels: Purchase from pet specialty stores, large supermarkets, or official flagship stores online. Never buy from unlicensed street vendors to avoid counterfeit or substandard products.
Check brand credibility: Opt for well-known brands with professional R&D teams. Verify if the brand is certified by reputable third parties (e.g., AAFCO, FEDIAF standards), or has veterinary nutritionist support.
Prioritize animal protein: Ensure the first 4-5 ingredients are clearly named animal proteins (e.g., chicken, beef, fish). Avoid generic terms like "meat meal" or "animal by-products." Premium brands typically specify the source and origin of ingredients rather than
vag
ue descriptions.
Check carbohydrate content: Common fillers include corn, wheat, and rice. Excess carbohydrates can cause digestive issues in pets. Unless your pet has special dietary needs, choose low-grain or grain-free formulas.
Avoid harmful additives: Check for artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, and excessive salt. Minimize formulas with unnecessary additives (e.g., soy, dairy products) to reduce the risk of allergies.
Protein Content: Adult dogs require ≥18% crude protein; puppies, lactating, or pregnant dogs need higher levels (≥22%). Adult cats require ≥26% crude protein; kittens, pregnant, or lactating cats need even higher levels (≥28%).
Fat Content: Adult dogs require ≥5% crude fat; adult cats require ≥9%. Excessively low fat may lead to dull coats and insufficient energy, while excess fat can cause obesity.
Other Nutrients: Ensure the food contains essential vitamins (e.g., vitamin A, D, E) and minerals (e.g., calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, taurine—critical for cats). Supplement these nutrients separately if not included to support growth and health.
Life Stage: Young pets need high-protein, easily digestible food for growth; senior pets may need low-phosphorus, easily absorbed formulas to support kidney and liver health; pregnant/lactating pets require higher nutrition.
Health Conditions: For pets with food allergies, diabetes, or urinary tract issues, choose targeted prescription or hypoallergenic formulas (e.g., limited-ingredient diets with single protein sources like duck or fish).
Activity Level & Body Type: High-energy, working, or large-breed dogs need high-fat, high-protein diets; small-breed or indoor pets require relatively low-energy, low-fat food to reduce obesity risk.
Particle Form: Premium food has uniform particle shape, size, and surface texture—neither overly hard (causing gum wear) nor overly soft (prone to spoilage).
Color & Oil Content: Meat-based food is typically darker, but be wary of artificial colors. Appropriate oil content can improve palatability and coat health, but excess oil may indicate poor processing. Place the food on absorbent paper to check for excessive oil.
Odor: High-quality food has a natural meat aroma with no pungent or abnormal smells. Overly strong scents may indicate artificial flavors or poor-quality ingredients.
Palatability: Observe if your pet shows interest in the food and if eating speed/volume is normal. Refusal to eat or disinterest may indicate poor palatability or issues with the food.
Digestibility: After feeding, monitor stool shape, color, odor, and frequency. Soft stools, hard stools, or abnormal odors may signal digestive issues, requiring formula adjustment.
Day 1: 20% new food + 80% old food
Day 2: 30% new food + 70% old food (continue Day 1 method)
Day 3: 40% new food + 60% old food (mixed evenly)
Day 4: 60% new food + 40% old food
Day 5-6: 80% new food + 20% old food
Day 7: 100% new food
