Dry Dog Food

Dog food is one of the most important factors in our dog's healthy and long life. Dry food or dog kibble is the most widespread and popular form of dog food – and for good reason! Let's find out why kibble is so popular and what to look out for when choosing it.

Why is kibble so popular?

Dog kibble is popular for several reasons:

• Practicality: kibble is easy to dose, store and use. It has a long shelf life and doesn't require refrigeration.
• Completeness: quality kibble contains all the nutrients a dog needs for a healthy life.
• Dental hygiene: the hard texture of kibble helps mechanically clean teeth and reduce tartar build-up.
• Wide choice: kibble is available for dogs of all ages, sizes and specific needs (sensitive digestion, allergies, weight management, etc.).

How to read the kibble label?

When choosing kibble, it's important to read the label carefully:

• Meat content: the higher the better. Quality kibble lists a specific meat source (e.g. chicken, salmon, lamb) as the first ingredient.
• Grain-free vs with grains: grain-free kibble is often recommended for dogs with allergies or sensitive digestion.
• Artificial additives: avoid kibble with artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.
• Age and size appropriateness: kibble for puppies, adult dogs and seniors differs in composition and piece size.

Kibble by life stage

• Puppy kibble: rich in proteins and calcium for healthy growth and development of bones and muscles.
• Adult dog kibble: balanced and complete, tailored to the dog's size and activity level.
• Senior dog kibble: easier to digest, often with joint support additives and lower calorie content.
