Don’t Get Fooled by ‘Trendy’ Dog Food — How to Avoid the Bad Stuff
Avoid foods whose first ingredients are vague 'meat meal', 'animal by-products', or 'meat extract' — these can be untraceable and low in usable protein. Also skip artificial colors, flavors, and risky preservatives like BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin, and check for a verifiable third-party test report.
