What is premium dog food?

Premium dog food is created with higher quality ingredients than generic food for your pup. Not all dog foods are created equal or to the same standards and premium dog food brands often use ingredients similar to those canines eat in the wild. Premium dog foods contain little to no by-products, which typically includes livestock organ meats, tissue, and bones. Plus, they add vitamins, minerals and other nutrients your dog needs to thrive. Most are also free from artificial dyes and flavors. You can compare your current food to premium dog food by looking at the nutrient analysis and ingredient list.

What are the benefits of a premium dog food diet?

Some of the benefits of a premium dog food diet are for your pal, while some might even help you! Made with high-quality ingredients, premium food is often made with proteins canines find in the wild, plus it features the antioxidants and vitamins your pal needs. Also, food that is more nutrient-dense tends to require a smaller portion size. This means that you might find the price of premium dog food is comparable to standard dog food when you consider how much your pal needs to eat. And when your dog eats less, he poops less—less mess for you to clean up!

What are some premium dog food brands?

Some premium dog food brands are household names, while some might be new to you. Orijen, Stella & Chewy’s, Acana, The Honest Kitchen, Weruva, and Just Food for Dogs are some of the most popular choices of premium dog food at Chewy. To compare your choices, look at the nutrient profile and ingredient list. You can also talk with your vet to see which brands might be best for your fur-iend.
