Along with the development of the world and humanity, having a "Boss" (usually used for pet in Vietnam) with you is no longer strange to every family. But because of work and busy life, not everyone can take care of "Boss" thoughtfully.

Dry pet food is a mixture of ingredients such as grains (wheat, corn, etc), meat and meat by-products, healthy fats (Omega-3, omega-6, canola oil, etc.), minerals and vitamins, etc… have been calculated by experts and manufacturers to balance the nutritional content suitable for each type of pet and each different age, they designed the form of kibble. The food has a round shape, some are heart-shaped, bone-shaped, flower-shaped, etc, different colors and different sizes of kibble are suitable for each stage of development with the pet's mechanism. They are pre-processed and packed into bags and boxes with many different contents and sizes.
However, on the market, there are many kinds of expensive and cheap dog and cat food products, with many functions compete everyday, so which is the most suitable and best pet food for "Boss" of your house? If you are still wondering, pondering over which type, let's go through a few initial notes with us to make the right choice when buying dry pet food for "Boss" in your house. Let's explore the hot-hit, popular TOP pet food brands with verified origins on the market of Vietnam right now!
To step into learning about the popular pet food in the market nowadays, let's take a look at a few initial notes when we decide to buy pet food for the "Boss" in the house.
1. It is necessary to purchase a grain size suitable for the weight and age of the “Boss”
On the market there are too many different types of small and large kibble, if "Boss" has not changed teeth and is small, let's choose small kibble!
The small "boss" has a thin stomach and the digestive system is not good enough to eat dry food of the big "boss". Your small pet maybe will have a weak stomachache and vomiting.
The big "boss" eating the food of the small "boss" is easy to have excess protein (because kittens and puppies often need more protein than adults) and can cause kidney stones in cats.
2. If you have a cat, don't give dog’s food and opposite.
Because the natural disposition (of the body), body structure of dogs and cats are different, feeding cats dog food is a mistake. Cats need this substance while dogs do not and opposite. For example, cats cannot self-synthesize fatty acids, so cat food needs them, but dogs do not. In addition, cats also need more nutrition than dogs.
3. Need to choose suitable dry pet food for “Boss”
There are many types of dry pet foods for your pet, but the market can divide into 2 main groups:
- Regular dry food: is the most common type with many different flavors depending on taste such as chicken, beef, sheep, ...
- Functional dry food: These are dry pet foods with special functions such as: good hair, indoor cats, control weight, hairball, bone and joint support, support for treatment diseases of the kidneys, heart, intestinal tract, ...
You should consider the benefits you want for your “Boss” suitable with your finances. Because dry food is so palatable and has an attractive scent, the “Boss” may not want to eat cheaper food or fresh food anymore.
4. Let’s read carefully about product labels, ingredients and feed "Boss" according to the dosage prescribed by the manufacturer!
Labels on products include: Product name, volume, manufacturer's name and address, safety analysis, ingredients, notes of use and animals that can be used, feeding instructions.
Manufacturers often set up a quantitative chart to guide the use of dry granules, which is usually how much to eat for each kilogram of body weight. You may find that too little but the truth is that dry food already contains enough nutrients. When entering the body, dry food will absorb water and expand. The pets will be completely satisfied and full with the prescribed amount of dry food. If you feed your pets more than the prescribed amount, it can easily lead to indigestion, vomiting, digestive disorders, etc. So please read the instructions carefully before use to help your pets have a comfortable meal and yummy!
5. Don't forget to add fiber and water for the "Boss"!
While dry pet foods have many advantages, they also have disadvantages, they are not cheap and do not have as much fiber and water as fresh foods.
So please add water and fiber for your pets too!
In addition, we can mix grain food with wet food, pate or mix with vegetables, fresh meat (if using homemade food or fresh food, “Sen” have to remember to give periodic deworming deworm for your pets).
6. If you are wondering about this because there are so many types of seeds, try to test with many kinds of pet food to find the most suitable one or try to listen to the advice of veterinarians.
Veterinarians can give you some advice on what foods and types of food are suitable for your "Boss" condition, what is needed? what is enough? Which to avoid?... Therefore, consulting with the veterinarian is also an effective way to help you get more information to make the right decision.
And most of all, not every expensive and best food will be suitable for your "Boss", the suitable food will meet the needs and enough the requirements of nutrients and taste for your pets.
- So, if you're not sure, try to test with different types of products to find the one that works best for your "Boss".
However, you should not hurry or suddenly change your pet's food every time you want to change it, this will make annoy to the pet. Trying to mix old and new foods for your pets gradually adapt to the new food.
- For example, the change process is 7 days:
First 2 days : 25% new food + 75% old food
Next 2 days: 50% new food + 50% old food
Next 2 days: 75% new food + 25% old food
After that, we can use 100% new food
7. The most important thing is to choose the dry pet food from a verified origin.
Regardless of the product, it is necessary to have a verified origin. If have the verified origin, this pet food will have safe ingredients, appropriate dosage, certificate of products, etc.
