Notes on 'worst' dog foods
Nature's Best Science Diet Adult Dog
with Real Beef
Why? - Notice the first ingredient and subsequent ingredients:
Brewer's rice, ground wheat, turkey meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, animal fat, beef, vegetable oil, peas, carrots --
a protein source is THIRD on the list of ingredients and notice it is not
the BEEF pictured or mentioned in the title of the food.
Beef appears way down the list. WDJ also did not like the 'animal fat' added to the food - this is a low cost additive of dubious origin
(what animal's fat are they using??)
They go on to say:
'For what it's worth this is Science Diet's best offering to date given the 2 whole vegetables, its natural preservatives (they usually favor artificial preservatives).'
Worst of the worst: Purina's Beneful
Ingredients: Ground yellow corn, chicken by product meal, corn gluten meal, whole wheat flour, beef tallow, rice flour, beef, soy flour,
sugar, sorbitol....
According to Whole Dog Journal:
' Nothing redeems this food in our opinion,
with its dried peas and carrots (20th and 21st on the list of ingredients) 2 types of sweetners (9th and 10th on the list), with artificial colors.'
Whole Dog Journal also mentions that rotating between 3 or 4 top quality foods is better than sticking with just one food for all of your dog's life.
