You will equip yourself better by knowing what goes in your dog food. Dogs can't read ingredients but we can


Always always read ingredients listed on your dog food, as much as a lot of people are concerned about protein content " the higher the better does not mean it's good protein, the 30% you see might not be what you are getting in most case if you can't read food labels.

Most dog food with good quality of protein will cost more than food with by-product protein.

What to avoid or what to look for when purchasing dog food, is not just about you but your loved ones as well.

1 Protein- it must always be a named animal sourced protein e.g chicken meal, lamb meal, beef meal etc if there is fish it must also be named not generic ( fish meal) it must state e.g salmon meal, white fish meal , herring meal etc

Avoid by- products e.g Chicken by-products as they include head, feet, entrails, lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, liver, stomach, bones, blood, intestines, and any other parts of the carcass not fit for human consumption,”

Meat by-products or meat meal. Both are euphemisms for the parts of animals that wouldn’t be considered meat by any smart consumer. The well-known phrase “meat byproducts” is a misnomer since these byproducts contain little, if any meat at all.

Meat meal can contain the boiled down flesh of animals we would find unacceptable for consumption. This can include zoo animals, road kill, and 4-D (dead, diseased, disabled, dying) livestock. Most shockingly, this can also include dogs and cats

Chicken meal, beef meal, lamb meal vs chicken, beef or lamb ( please note no by-products)

Chicken meal,lamb meal, etc according to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), is the dry rendered product from a combination of clean chicken flesh and skin with or without accompanying bone, derived from whole carcasses of chicken, exclusive of feathers, heads, feet and entrails. A meal in general is "an ingredient which has been ground or otherwise reduced in particle size.
Chicken meal is ground up chicken meat that has been carefully dried to a moisture level of 10%. The protein content is 65% and the fat level is 12%.
Regular chicken, lamb, beef contains about 70% water with 18% protein and 5% fat. So bear in mind that food labels are listed in order of weight so if your 1st ingredient list is e.g chicken, ground yellow corn,corn gluten meal,soy meal, wheat, rice gluten, rice, animal fat etc etc etc everything from 1st ingredient to fat source is what makes up the bulk of your dog food, bear in mind what will be left after the chicken is cooked & the water is removed?
Also note your plant ingredients Soy is a plant protein used by pet food companies to boost protein content and add bulk. Because plant proteins are less expensive than meat proteins, pet food manufacturers use them to increase profit margins. Common plant-based protein sources used in your pet's food include corn-gluten meal and soybean meal. So if we calculate all this before processing are you really getting your hard earned paid 30% protein?

I haven't tired diamond nor Arion but pedigree was good (at least that's what I though).

My dog was perfect; she was active, strong and happy I was using pedigree and feeding her twice, after few months I noticed a little decline in her strength, the activeness started to turn into laziness and she became weak and so much unpleasant.

I went to a local vet and he told him to change her diet, so I felt maybe a change of the brand might work so I visited the super mart and upon sale person's recommendations I purchased JoJo Premium Puppy can food for a try.

Seriously? I've been using Pedigree for like a month… I guess I need to change then :/

So how was your experience with JoJo?

With first meal I saw a little change in her, and then it was the matter of time, I rushed to the market and bought 6 puppy can and 2 8-KG crunchy puppy dry foods packs.

It's been 7 months since I changed to JoJo and for 7 months Judie(my puppy's name) is more than just perfect, she's not only strong, active and happy, she's smart and health too.

I would recommend everyone to at least try their products once and then decide yourself.

I prefer Jojo too. I looked through the ingredients and noticed that they supplement more vitamins. It also smells better and is made in USA.

Not only that there are a lot of JoJo's skin care products too, lately Judie had some irritations and JoJo's Herbal shampoo helped.

Comparing diamond pet food to JoJo and arion is like comparing a Mercedes to a Kia.Although in d US and Europe diamond is not among d top quality pet food but innniaja its d King though Royal canin and others are trying to compete in terms of quality but JoJo n arion?its a no no when compared to diamond. Believe me,I know what am talking about.
Re: Diamond Pet Food And Pedigree Food Which Is The Best? by knyte(m): 11:07am On Mar 30, 2015
Well everyone has had their experiences with different dry feed and av tried a couple but nt diamond nd royal canine which i suppose re good too.. Been using arion for close to 2yrs nw and it has never disappointed me in terms of the costs, the duration which it can last, d aroma, d size of d crunchy compared to jojo for example has been superb.. You can check out my super stud rex and see wat am talking about .. I own other dogs by d way
