Do You Know What Your Pet Is Eating?

Just as you compare human foods at the grocery store using nutrition and ingredients labels, you can also compare dog food brands and cat food brands by reading their ingredients labels (the non-marketing, objective part of the pet food packaging). Regulations require that pet food ingredients be listed in the order of their content by weight. That means the main ingredient will be listed first, the next most important ingredient second, and so on.

In the table below we have compared the ingredients label of our Flint River Ranch Adult Dog Food formula with the labels of four other leading dog food brands. We have identified undesirable ingredients with bold type and a legend number. See the list below for comments pertinent to each undesirable ingredient. Our Reading Pet Labels FAQ has additional information about pet food labels and what to look for in pet foods.
