The range of dog food and dog treats is extensive. Online shops list puppy food, dry dog food, wet dog food, dog biscuits, dog chew bones and dental sticks for dogs side by side. This does not always make comparison easy. An appealing package also says little about whether a product is suitable for your dog.
The most common poor purchases result from three pitfalls:
Start by asking which dog the product is intended for. The packaging usually indicates whether it is puppy food, food for adult dogs or a product for senior dogs. Also check the stated breed size:
Pedigree Dentastix is one example. According to the product information, the Maxi pack is intended for dogs weighing 25 kg or more. The Medium pack is indicated for dogs weighing between 10 and 25 kg. Use this size guidance as a starting point, but also consider how your dog chews.
For puppies, age and expected adult size are particularly important. According to the product description, Farmina N&D Ocean Cod with Pumpkin Puppy Medi/Maxi is intended for puppies of medium and large breeds. Orijen Puppy Formula states that it is suitable for puppies of all breeds, with feeding guidance based on age, weight and breed size.
Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. Pay attention to:
Grain-free dog food is not automatically suitable for every dog. Grain-free recipes may contain peas, chickpeas or sweet potato, for example. Choose such a formula primarily when its composition matches your dog’s individual needs. In the case of a food allergy or recurring symptoms, consulting a vet is wiser than experimenting independently over an extended period.
Wet dog food generally contains a high proportion of moisture and often has a soft texture. According to the label, G'woon Dog Beef Liver Cup 150g is a pâté-style wet food for adult dogs, with beef and liver listed among its ingredients. Rosewood Dog Pâté Chicken & Beef Flavor is likewise described as a complete wet food for adult dogs of all sizes. Always check the portion instructions and refrigerate opened contents according to the label.
A chew treat is not a complete meal. The g'woon Dog Chew Bones Box 500g states that the snack should be given between meals and that supervision is required while the dog is chewing. The ingredient list includes grains, oils and fats, as well as animal by-products, including chicken.
For dental care, there are several types of dental sticks for dogs, including Dentastix. According to Pedigree’s own information, Dentastix Daily Oral Care can help reduce tartar build-up; the stated reduction of up to 80% is a brand claim and not a general guarantee for every dog. A dental stick does not replace a check-up or cleaning when a dog already has clear dental problems.
Also choose the appropriate size. According to the product information, g'woon Dental Sticks Mini was developed for small dogs. The Medium variant is intended for medium-sized dogs. Do not leave a dog unattended while chewing, and remove small or sharp fragments when necessary.
Why This Fits Their Persona: A compact cup of wet food for anyone who wants to try a soft meal or supplementary food without immediately buying a large pack. According to the product information, this food is intended for adult dogs.
The packaging clearly states 150 g, one cup and suitability for adult dogs. This helps you avoid choosing a puppy product or an unnecessarily large pack.
Soft pâté texture, beef and liver listed among the ingredients, and no artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives according to the product description.
Why This Fits Their Persona: An option for owners of small or medium-sized puppies specifically looking for grain-free puppy food with fish.
The product information identifies the target age range as 1 to 12 months and specifies small to medium-sized breeds. This makes the choice more specific than relying on the word “grain-free” alone.
3 kg pack, ocean fish as an animal-based protein source and a recipe without chicken according to the product description.
Why This Fits Their Persona: A large pack for households with a large dog that want a suitably sized dental treat for daily use.
The pack is intended for dogs weighing 25 kg or more. Check your dog’s weight first rather than relying solely on the familiar Dentastix brand name.
42 sticks, a total weight of 1.62 kg and, according to Pedigree, no added sugar, artificial colourings or flavourings.
Why This Fits Their Persona: Designed for puppy owners looking for a large bag of puppy kibble for a multi-dog household or a larger puppy.
The product information specifies the age range, a transition period of 7 to 10 days and portions based on weight. A large bag is practical only if the kibble is stored in a properly sealed container.
11.4 kg of food, a grain-free formula and, according to the product description, at least 38% crude protein and 18% fat.
Explore a current selection of products for puppy health and wellbeing, with options for food, treats and everyday care.
Ideally, keep treats below approximately 10% of the daily calorie intake, as indicated on various product packages. If you give your dog several biscuits, chew bones or dental sticks, reduce the amount of main food if necessary. The right quantity depends on weight, age, activity level and body condition.
No. Grain-free dog food is a specific dietary choice, not a general requirement. Consider the complete ingredient list and nutritional analysis. If you suspect an allergy or intolerance, it is best to discuss your dog’s diet with a vet.
Store dry dog food and treats in a cool, dry place and seal the packaging securely. According to the product instructions cited, opened wet food should be refrigerated and used within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the product. Always check the best-before date and the instructions on the packaging.
