dog food

Why do dog foods have high omega 6 and very little omega 3? I thought the benefits were in omega 3? I emailed the companies and they could not provide me with a article stating the benefits of more 6 to 3 omega. If there is no benefits then why are they putting so much omega 6 in it?

A few months ago a 2 year old lab joined the household. Despite having a clean bill of health he was the gassiest dog ever. I doubted I’d ever be able to have houseguests again, it was that bad. I switched him to Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach and this has eliminated the problem...

Acana doesn't deny that the small but sharp shards are bone fragments. Yet they do nothing to mention any change of practice. These shards are pointing out of at least one piece of kibble for every 1/4 cup of food. It sticks to my finger it's so sharp. See for yourself! After two years of...

Hello. My almost-4 year old chocolate labrador has been eating Pro Pac food for most of his life. Frankly, he had rather frequent bouts of diarrhea and vomiting when he was younger, but he still ate the food easily (he's an ever-hungry lab). Though he doesn't really have diarrhea nowadays and...

I’ve dug deep into a lot of research but just can decide what “feature” to focus on to help narrow things down. I have two doxies so I’d like to keep them on the same food. One is 12 with a heart murmur & early heart disease. No meds needed yet but I’d like to keep the sodium levels lower for...

Hi I hope this is allowed. I’m researching different wet foods for my dog while he’s recovering from a recent operation. A friend recommended a brand based mostly on price, and after doing further research into the food it seems there may be unnecessary ingredients. I have come across a few...

I have a Malinois (3M) and German Shepherd (5M) who are both on Farmina N&D Prime. They both do really well on it and I’ve had no issues. I’ve been feeding them this dog food for 2 years. I bought a new bag this week and the Malinois will not eat it unless he’s starving and my Shepherd is now...

Hello r/DogFood! 🐾 I recently adopted a 6-year-old pug from a rescue organization. He is neutered. His previous owners were feeding him Kirkland salmon and sweet potato kibbles, and I was provided with a full bag of this food. However, I'm considering a switch to a more science-backed food...
