How good is Lanshi dog food?
Although Lanshi is marketed as a British import, it is actually a domestic Chinese brand. Among domestic foods, its formula is quite good: the top three ingredients are meats, with no grains or gluten added, and it has rich dietary fiber. It contains no controversial preservatives, palatants, or colorants, and its vitamins and minerals are comprehensive. Online prices are around a dozen yuan per jin (500g), offering high overall value.
How good is Jialezhi dog food?
Jialezhi is reportedly developed in Japan and formulated as a complete dog food for the Chinese market. It is divided by life stage into puppy, adult, and senior formulas. However, nutritionally it is not very high: the first two ingredients in every formula are corn and wheat, the animal protein is chicken meal, and corn gluten meal is added to boost crude protein. Its fiber source is beet pulp, a low-value sugar-industry byproduct with anti-nutritional factors, so it should not be overfed.
How good is Youlang dog food?
Youlang was founded in 2013 and is a relatively niche, affordable domestic brand. It has two lines: New Hope Youlang complete dog food and Youlang senior dog food; the New Hope line also comes in 'cooling' and 'coat-care' formulas. Its main advantage is fresh meat as the primary protein source, with no plant protein or legumes added, and fairly complete fiber, minerals, and vitamins. However, it contains several grains (rice, wheat, corn), so it may not suit dogs with sensitive stomachs.
How good is Zhenbao dog food?
Zhenbao is produced by Shandong Heze Kaifanle Pet Food Technology Co., and sells very cheaply online. Low price usually means lower-quality ingredients. Taking its best-selling puppy formula as an example, the main ingredients are chicken meal, corn gluten meal, wheat, rice, duck fat, and corn. Although crude protein is guaranteed above 30%, that comes from added corn gluten meal, which dogs absorb poorly, so it is not truly nutritious. It also contains large amounts of grains that may not suit sensitive stomachs.
How good is Xueshan dog food?
Xueshan offers several products, the classic being a duck-and-potato adult formula. The kibble is large, so it is less suitable for puppies and senior dogs with poor teeth. Its ingredients are mainly potato, duck meal, duck, canola oil (mixed tocopherols), potato protein, and potato fiber, with heavy potato content and added potato protein, making the formula mediocre. The price is not low, so value for money is limited.
How good is Royal Canin CC dog food?
Royal Canin CC's main ingredients are wheat, soybean meal, duck meal, chicken meal, wheat flour, beef tallow, chicken fat, corn gluten meal, broken rice, and beet pulp. Animal ingredients rank third and fourth, with legumes and plant protein added to raise protein; wheat, wheat flour, and broken rice are heavily used, and fiber comes mainly from cheap, low-value beet pulp, so the overall formula is poor. It also adds pet feed flavoring and potassium sorbate, both controversial additives best avoided long-term.
How good is Royal Canin GR26 dog food?
Royal Canin GR26 is a complete adult formula for large breeds, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that support skin health. It has abundant protein and dietary fiber, plus EPA & DHA to support large-breed bone and muscle development and digestion. However, its nutrition profile suits large adult dogs, so confirm your dog's breed and age before buying, and transition gradually when switching foods.
How good is Guanbang dog food?
Guanbang is an affordable domestic brand from Xingtai, Hebei, with several lines including fresh-meat, small-breed, and puppy formulas. Its better formula is a duck-and-pear complete dog food whose main ingredients are fresh duck, fresh chicken, chicken hydrolysate, corn, brown rice, and wheat flour. Its strengths are fresh meat and meat meal as protein, no plant protein or legumes, plus high-value ingredients like whole goat milk powder, fish oil, glucosamine, lecithin, FOS, and chondroitin sulfate. Downsides are added corn/wheat, some beet pulp fiber, and controversial additives (pet feed flavoring, potassium sorbate, unspecified antioxidant).
What should I feed a puppy with no teeth?
Puppies usually start growing baby teeth around 20 days after birth; no teeth means it was just born and should drink mother's milk. Without milk, use goat milk formula. Puppies typically wean at 1 to 1.5 months; after weaning, gradually add puppy food, starting by softening kibble in warm goat milk for easy digestion.
How Good Is Lingyue Dog Food?
Lingyue is a commercial kibble made in Xingtai, Hebei, an area whose pet-food factories are controversial and not recommended by many owners. It has no official flagship store and little product information, with a grain-heavy formula that is somewhat allergenic.
