In partnership with A Pup Above
I finally read my dog's food label. 5 things that made me switch.
By a dog mom who thought she was buying the good stuff.
I was not looking for a villain. I just wanted to know what was actually in the bag I had been buying for three years. So one night I sat down with the label and a search bar.
The list was long and the words were unfamiliar. I am not saying it was bad food. What I am saying I could not tell you what it was, and that bothered me. Here is what I switched for.
1 – Ingredients I can actually see
When I opened the pouch of A Pup Above, I could point at the chicken, the rice, the carrots and the kale. Reading this label took ten seconds, because the label is just food.
2 – Gently cooked sous-vide with real bone broth
The meals are cooked low and slow in their own juices. That liquid in the pouch is collagen-rich bone broth, and my dog licks the bowl for it.
3 – 93%+ digestible, per A Pup Above digestibility studies
More of the meal gets absorbed by my dog’s digestion instead of passing through. That means more nutrition working inside the dog, and noticeably less cleanup in the yard.
4 – Formulated by people who do the homework
Every recipe is Vet Nutritionist Formulated and validated in real feeding trials. Other brands I bought stopped at the spreadsheet, but this one proved it in actual bowls.
5 – I did not have to switch everything overnight
The most stressful thing is changing your dog’s entire diet. But with this, I could serve it as the whole bowl or over the food my dog was already eating. A partial bowl of fresh still counts. That made starting the easiest part for me and my dog.
