Wellness CORE is one of the foods I recommend for your small dog.

With all the deceptive practices in labelling pet food, it’s difficult to find a good quality food for your dog or cat.  And since the pet food industry is self-regulated, it’s even harder. The ‘stamp of approval’ for pet foods comes from  AAFCO  (Association of American Feed Control Officials) which is a volunteer organization of industry insiders. It is NOT a government body, nor does it have any responsibility to government bodies, like the Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) . The nicest thing I can say about AAFCO, is that its reviews and approvals are better than nothing. But not much. 

So it’s up to you – the consumer and caring owner – to decipher what’s really in that food you pay good money for.

So what foods ARE safe?

Based on a number of experts’ reviews, and what a small dog like a Yorkie, Morkie or Maltese needs, I would recommend any of the following dry foods:

  • Acana from Champion
  • Amicus from Horizon
  • Before Grain from Merrick
  • Fromm
  • Go! Sensitivity
  • Holistic Precise
  • Life’s Abundance
  • NOW!
  • Orjen from Champion
  • Pinnacle
  • Wellness Core

This recommendation is based on my own research of expert opinions and my own experience – please keep in mind I’m not a trained animal professional, just a concerned consumer and committed dog lover.
