Browse the 4health range on the Tractor Supply Co. website and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed pretty quickly. The brand offers a whopping 47 products across five product lines, so there’s certainly no shortage of choice when searching for the best dog food for your fur-baby. To help you understand exactly what’s on offer, let’s break down each of the five product lines.

There are a total of 17 products in the 4health Wholesome Grains dog food range, with ten dry foods and seven wet foods. The dry foods include recipes for puppies, adults, and seniors along with small-breed, large-breed, and weight control formulas.

These recipes feature meat, poultry, or fish as the first ingredient, with five formulas featuring chicken and other recipes using salmon, lamb, and beef. They also include grains like brown rice and cracked pearled barley to provide carbohydrates for energy and fiber for healthy digestion. Probiotics help ensure digestive health, and these recipes are made in the USA.

The wet food selection features all life stages recipes, adult recipes, and puppy and senior formulas. Each features real chicken, beef, or salmon as the first ingredient, and grains like brown rice once again feature. Recipes are also made without corn, wheat, soy, meat byproducts, or any artificial preservatives or flavors.

If you’d rather feed your dog a grain-free diet, there are 15 products to choose from in 4health’s Grain Free range. The first seven are dry foods, with adult, all life stages, large-breed, small-breed, and puppy recipes available. Beef, chicken, whitefish, duck, and turkey are the main protein sources, and recipes include taurine for heart health. Probiotics support health digestion, and recipes are a good source of omega fatty acids for skin and coat health.

There are also eight wet recipes available, all of which are designed for adult dogs. These formulas feature real chicken, lamb, turkey, or beef as the first ingredient, and are made without any corn, wheat, or soy. Because they’re grain-free, they’re worth a look if your dog has a sensitive stomach, and they also include species-specific probiotics to promote a healthy gut.

There are three formulas in the 4health Special Care range, each of which is available as both a dry and wet recipe.

The Adult Weight Management Formula is designed to encourage healthy weight loss for dogs who need to shed a few excess pounds. The dry recipe features lamb meal, peas, and chickpeas as its first three ingredients, while chicken broth, chicken, and animal liver are the top 3 ingredients in the wet food list. Both recipes feature L-carnitine to help your dog burn fat, and are high in insoluble fiber so your pet feels full after eating.

The Adult Sensitive Skin Formula is formulated to meet the needs of dogs with food intolerances. Recipes contain high-quality protein, omega fatty acids for healthy skin and coat, and antioxidants for a strong immune system. They also feature limited ingredients to minimize the risk of any adverse reactions, and they include species-specific probiotics for digestive health.

Finally, the Adult Sensitive Stomach Formula is designed for pets prone to tummy troubles. It features easily digestible proteins, ingredients like psyllium seed husk and dried chicory root to provide the fiber needed for healthy digestion, and probiotics for a healthy gut microbiome. Recipes are also made with limited ingredients to reduce the chance of your pup encountering something that doesn’t agree with them.

The 4health Strive dog food range is designed to meet the nutritional needs of active, athletic, and working dogs. These recipes derive 83% or more of their protein from animal sources, and they’re high in protein and fat to keep your dog going all day long.

All three recipes in the range meet the AAFCO food nutrient profiles for all life stages, including the growth of large-breed dogs, and come in bag sizes of up to 45lb. Key nutrients include taurine for heart health, glucosamine for strong joints, and probiotics for digestive balance. Common top ingredients in these recipes include chicken, chicken meal, pork, brown rice, and white rice or pearled barley.

The Shreds line is 4health's newest product range, offering a yummy blend of prebiotic kibble mixed with high-protein dried shreds. The list of ingredients for these foods is very similar to that of 4health's other grain-inclusive dry foods. For instance, the first few ingredients in the Chicken and Rice recipe include chicken, chicken meal, white rice, pearled barley, and chicken fat.

4health Shreds comes in three recipes, which are as followed:

One of the biggest attractions of 4health dog food is its affordable price tag. Compare the price of 4health dog food per pound to a wide range of other brands and you’ll find that it is very competitively priced. If you’re on a tight budget, this is a pet food brand that won’t break the bank.

Several dry foods in the 4health range are available in extra-large 45lb bags. That’s good news if you’ve got multiple canine mouths to feed, or if you want to buy in bulk and enjoy more savings.

With 47 dog food products to choose from, you’re spoiled for choice with the 4health range. Regardless of whether your dog prefers wet or dry food, common or alternative protein sources, grain-free or grain-inclusive, and no matter whether they have special dietary needs, you’ll find something to suit their needs from 4health.

4health dog food is manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods, Inc. in the USA. So, if you feel better feeding your dog a food that has been made close to home, you’ll enjoy peace of mind giving 4health to your pet. However, the 4health Untamed recipes are listed on the Tractor Supply website as “Imported.”

Diamond Pet Foods, which manufactures 4health pet food, has been the subject of pet food recalls in the past. Check out our Diamond dog food review for more information.

As 4Hhealth is Tractor Supply Co.’s dog food brand, you won’t find it in anywhere near as many stores as is the case with other brands. So if it’s not convenient for you to shop at Tractor Supply Co., you may need to consider other options.

There’s limited information available online about factors such as where 4health sources its ingredients or the history of the brand. This may concern those pet parents who want complete peace of mind about what they feed their dog.

Specific ingredients used in some 4health products may concern some pet parents. For example, “animal liver” is listed as an ingredient on the Special Care Healthy Weight wet food recipe, but the type of animal is not specified. 

Check the ingredients list closely before deciding if any dog food is the right choice for your pet.

“We’ve been using this food since our dog was a puppy and she’s been so healthy and has the shiniest coat our vet has ever seen! Highly recommend!”

“Love that my dog likes eating this good-quality kibble, and that it doesn't upset her stomach! I appreciate the reasonable cost and the fact that it meets AAFCO guidelines!”

“We love 4health dog food. I have 3 dogs, and my eldest is an 8-year-old Mastiff, she has been such a picky eater her whole life. About 2 years ago, we stumbled upon 4health. It has been a lifesaver! No more changing dog food after each bag. All 3 dogs love it, they have shiny coats, and it never upsets their stomach! We plan to be 4health users for life!”
