- Choose a food that lists a high-quality, named meat source as the top ingredient.
- Avoid fillers like maize, soy, and wheat, and watch out for artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.
- Always check the food is 100% complete and balanced and meets the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) nutrient profile guidelines for your dog's age range (puppy, adult, or all life stages).
- Chat with your vet if you're unsure whether a wet food is right for your dog.
