When you have a doctorate study animal nutrition and having over forty years in companion pet nutrition, people tend to ask you a lot of questions about what to feed their pets. The answer, however, is not always a straightforward one. Animal nutrition must take many things into account, such as the physiology of the animal as well as how ingredients can distinctively aid in health and longevity.
As the formulator of D.O.G. pet foods, my goal is to be purposeful about the ingredients that go into each recipe I create. It is also my aim that you – the pet parent – are armed with information about scientific animal nutrition and how it benefits your dog.
The following is a list of D.O.G. ingredients in our beef kibble recipe. This detailed list also specifies how these ingredients benefit the various life functions which are vital in helping your dog live an active and healthy life. Understanding how ingredients work holistically to benefit and improve the health of your pet is one of the things that makes my job so rewarding.
