Things to consider before selecting a pet food

Age - make sure you choose a food that's nutritionally geared to your pet's age (puppy, adult, or senior).

Body condition - animals who are overweight or underweight need different nutritional requirements. Pets who get lots of exercise also have different nutritional requirements. Choose a food that fits your pet's needs, whether it's weight control, performance, maintenance, or another formula.

Your budget - simply put, feed your animal the best food you can afford. Generally, the more you spend, the better-quality, healthier food you'll feed.

Keep in mind that no one food is best for every animal. Pets are individuals, just like people. Some will prefer dry food, some canned. Luckily, today's market offers many well-formulated foods for our pets at all life stages, and it's fine to try several to determine which one works best, just don't make sudden and often changes.

Look Closely at Ingredients
When you're shopping for a healthy food, the ingredient list on the back of the bag is a good place to start. By law, pet food labels must list their ingredients in order by weight. Look for foods with meat, fish, or eggs listed as the first ingredient. These are very digestible, and if they are listed as the first ingredient, you can assume the food offers a good-quality protein source. If you are switching to a new food, be sure to allow ample time for your dog to adjust to it, we suggest at least one month.

Categories of Pet Foods
When searching for your pet's next food, keep in mind that pet food is now available in three major categories: "grocery store" foods, premium foods, and healthy foods.

Premium foods - often found in feed stores, and veterinarian offices - contain higher-grade ingredients. Premium foods are usually more expensive than "grocery store" foods because their ingredients are of a higher quality, and are therefore somewhat more beneficial and digestible.

Healthy foods - provide pets with the highest quality, healthiest, and most nutritious ingredients. Canidae is an example of a healthy food that will provide your pet with all its nutritional requirements in an easy to digest formulation that pets love.
