Dear Reader

Some of the content in this guidebook originally started out as a series of blogs on my website. Based on the number of comments, questions and reader feedback, I have consolidated and expanded the processes of choosing a good commercial dog food into this handy booklet. This guide will explain the latest facts and findings on a variety of ingredients and pet food marketing, as well as debunking some popular myths.

I hope you find the information helpful as you seek to provide your dog with the best possible commercial food. Diet plays a crucial role in ensuring your dog is as healthy and happy as possible. Please note that I have not taken health concerns into consideration, and these guidelines are for healthy dogs only.

I also encourage you to sign up to my newsletter. This way I can tell you about other exciting projects, and I can keep you up-to-date with the latest on everything to do with your dog’s health and nutrition.

Happy Feeding!

Kristina
