How good is IAMS dog food?
IAMS was founded in 1946 in Ohio, USA; most products sold domestically are now produced by Shanghai Royal Pet Food Co. To meet different ages and sizes, IAMS offers small-breed adult, medium-large breed adult, and large-breed puppy lines. In terms of ingredients, IAMS may fall short of premium standards: its animal protein comes mainly from meat meal, and it adds wheat, barley, wheat flour, rice, and other grains. If your budget allows, a fresh-meat or high-end imported food is preferable.
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 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 Bigetai dog food?
Bigetai is an affordable dog food from Bigetai Pet Food Co., selling for just a few yuan per jin online. With no official flagship store, specifics on ratios, additives, and sourcing cannot be verified, so its exact quality is hard to judge. Based on price and ingredients, its nutritional value is likely low; we recommend choosing a higher-quality, more palatable food.
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).
Why is my small dog whining and refusing food after being attacked?
A small dog refusing food after being attacked by another dog may be psychologically frightened; fear or trauma can cause loss of appetite. The owner should comfort and accompany it to help it recover. At the same time, check the dog's body, as the refusal to eat may also be from injury causing pain. If the injury is serious, take it to a vet promptly.
