Dog food "Pedigree" refers to the economy. It is inexpensive, but it is worth talking about its quality separately. It appeared on the market not so long ago - in the 90s. It is produced by Mars, which has already become famous, unfortunately, with low-quality products.
It is simply impossible to find a dog lover who has never heard of this poop. The manufacturer creates various food options for both puppies and adult dogs. Moreover, it is designed for different types of dogs, it is thanks to this that you can choose the right option. There is a dry pedigree food for dogs in old age. Its balanced form helps maintain the immune system. However, it is worth paying special attention to the composition, maybe it is better to switch to natural food?
Composition
When considering meat feed for dogs, of course, you need to carefully study what is written in the "composition" column. For example, in Pedigri with beef, meat is only the third. First, corn, then wheat and only after them chicken flour. But what is it? Many will be surprised to hear the phrase "chicken meat flour." In fact, this element is made from offal. Then you can read that the composition contains rice, beet pulp, meat meal. Again, the last option is beef, in the amount of only 4%. Such dog food ("Pedigree"), unfortunately, will be full-ration only for chicken, but not for those who are intended. The only advantages are that there are vitamins and various useful supplements. However, this does not save the general situation. At the expense of whether there is carbohydrates in the feed, it is difficult to say something, since the full composition is not disclosed.
Composition analysis
Corn is considered quite high-calorie, due to which it perfectly fills the stomach, but does not saturate the dog. This is one continuous minus. And since it is in the first place in the roster, there is no doubt that there are too many of it.
Rice, like corn, only fills the pet’s stomach, so it’s only harmful.
Wheat is another cereal product. Dog lovers often compare this combination of three products with piglet food. It is worth noting the fact that they are often allergic to dogs. Moreover, there are no amino acids in these products, which means that they do not bring much benefit to tetrapods.
Chicken flour, of course, makes more sense in dog food. However, there is no information about the technology of its manufacture. Sometimes this flour is made using the right technology, and the result is a product with excellent quality.
Pedigree dog food also has meat meal. She basically represents the same thing as chicken. However, the beef in it is only 4%.
Beet pulp will help balance the amount of fiber in the body. But the main thing is the amount that has been consumed.
Reviews
Some consumers say that the food is good. But then they talk about sores that began to appear a year or two after the start of taking Pedigree. Reviews about him in most cases are negative, but nevertheless there are ardent defenders who prove his benefit. Many people like this food for value for money. Indeed, it is simply impossible to find a similar one at such a low price (cost not more than 1,500 rubles). But is it worth saving on the health of your beloved pet?
Total
Although some dog lovers like the “Pedigree” dog food, it is still impossible to give it to the dog on an ongoing basis. It is best to use it as chips for children - as a treat and rarely (tasty, but bad). It’s better for many dogs to give natural food, it doesn’t come out as expensive as truly high-quality feeds. But to kill a pet with such plant foods is still not worth it. Please think about it and make the right choice.
