Dog food
No matter what kind of product it is, as long as its sales volume is good, then it won’t be long before the products related to it are Counterfeit products will appear, and dog food is one of them. The variety of dog food on the market is complicated, and the quality is essentially mixed. Some dog food has even reached the point of being fake, which is bad news for both dogs and owners. So let’s take a look at the characteristics of fake dog food, hoping it can be helpful to everyone.
1. Appearance
Many owners will require a bright complexion when choosing dog food, and the shape and size of each grain of dog food should be similar. It turns out that this view is not completely accurate. Generally, high-quality dog food looks very rough, does not have a smooth particle surface, and even has some large grain skins; dog food with a smooth surface is due to too many grains in the formula, which destroys the fine particles. Formed by great degree.
Judging from the color, generally high-quality dog food contains high animal protein ingredients. After processing, the color will be brown or dark. Low-quality dog food will have a yellowish color because most of it is made of raw materials such as corn. It may be light in color; however, some products add artificial pigments and the color will become darker. You can distinguish it by careful inspection.
2. Taste
Good dog food often has a fragrance, but it is generally not very fragrant. Many low-quality dog foods are fed with a large amount of flavors to cover up the shortcomings of their raw materials. Therefore, some low-quality dog foods will smell fragrant, but dogs often don’t like stimulation. Food that is too sexual.
3. Quality
If dog food is light, large, and has no texture, it is often low-quality dog food due to the animal protein content in it. Short or not, caused by excessive puffing. It was further verified that the dog food particles can be broken open, it is not very tiring to break open by hand, and the particle hardness is moderate; the dog food that is broken open with a lot of force has poor puffing process and poor digestion and absorption; after breaking it, the internal structure of the particles is observed. High-quality dog food is often in the shape of honeycombs. Low-quality food can have two types of honeycombs: too small or too large. Too small or no honeycombs are caused by lack of puffing or insufficient puffing. Too large is caused by high starch content or insufficient puffing. Caused by excessive puffing.
Inferior dog food
4. Taste
Translucence is what we often call deliciousness, which is also a key factor in determining whether dogs like this dog food. Generally, low-quality dog food is relatively salty. Because dogs eat high-salt food for a long time, it will significantly reduce the amount of water they drink, and will also cause rejection of other low-salt food, making it difficult for dogs to change food. This kind of dog food is not suitable for dogs. The health of dogs is very bad, and owners must pay more attention to it.
We often treat puppies with blisters. Soak the dog food until soft and feed it to the dog. Inferior dog food will not soften even after soaking for 2-3 hours, and it will still be elastic when pinched with your hands. This is because the core of these dog food is likely to have some adhesive added to it. Puppies will suffer from indigestion after eating it.
6. Feces
Examining the color and breath of the dog’s poop is also a basis for inferring the quality of dog food. In addition, the main reason for low-quality dog food is that the formula of these dog foods uses degraded and low-quality raw materials. The digestion and utilization rate of dogs is not high, and the amount of feces permeated will often be greatly reduced.
We must understand that there will be no pie in the sky. The price of some dog food is obviously much lower than that of ordinary dog food. If there is nothing wrong with this, why would they sell it so cheaply?
8. Packaging
At first glance, many low-quality dog foods appear to be selling dog meat under the banner of some well-known brands. The packaging of dog food may be no different from regular dog food, but if we distinguish it carefully, we will find that the packaging of these dog food is often of poor quality, and the printed barcodes and patterns look very rough, and may become blurry if wiped occasionally. If you lose it, then we definitely can’t buy such dog food.
The quality of dog food directly affects the dog’s body, so when choosing dog food, we must choose it carefully and master the quality of dog food. Ways to protect the health and safety of dogs
