Choosing the Best Kibble: What to Look for in Your Dog’s Food | Short


Listen Later

116: In this episode, I dive into the Kibble Hierarchy—what separates a quality kibble from the bottom-of-the-barrel options. I break down ingredient labels, key red flags to watch for (like rendered meals and non-descript meats), and how to make better choices for your dog’s health.

This episode is especially for those who can’t feed raw or home-cooked meals exclusively. I also share some of my top kibble recommendations and tips for evaluating dog food brands.

Topics Discussed:

  • Understanding the Kibble Hierarchy—what makes a kibble good or bad
  • Ingredients to avoid, including rendered meals and vague meat sources
  • How to read and analyze dog food labels
  • The importance of sourcing and ethical considerations in pet food
  • My top kibble recommendations for those who can’t feed raw or home-cooked meals
  • The role of carbohydrates in kibble and what to look for
  • Questions to ask pet food companies about their ingredients and sourcing
  • Why less is more when it comes to kibble ingredients
