GIVE IT A TRY
Along the bottom of these two pages is a list of relatively well-known dry dog foods and their first five ingredients. They appear in order of how we would rank them in quality, with the lowest-quality foods on the left, and the better-quality foods on the right.
Why have we put them in this order? First, understand that we wouldn’t buy any of the foods on the left page. Not a single one has an animal-protein source at the top of its ingredients list. Instead, each uses corn as its major source of protein. (Note: There is absolutely no difference between the designations each uses for “corn.” All those phrases mean the same thing.) The array of amino acids that make up the protein in corn are not as beneficial for dogs as the amino-acid profile of animal proteins; while dogs can survive on it, it’s an unnatural and low-cost protein for them.
为什么我们把他们这个顺序?首先,要明白我们不会在左侧页面上购买任何的食物。没有一个具有动物蛋白源在其成份列表的顶部。相反,每个使用玉米作为其主要的蛋白质来源。 (注:有绝对每个使用的名称没有区别所有这些词组的意思是一样的东西“玉米” 。 )氨基酸组成的蛋白质的玉米并不像利于狗的氨基酸阵列动物蛋白质的轮廓;而狗可以在其上生存,这是一个自然的和低成本
We have Kibbles ’n Bits ranked below all the rest, due to the fact that its source of animal protein, the very low-quality “meat and bone meal,” appears lower on its ingredient list (third) than the next foods. Even its low-quality, artificially preserved fat source appears lower on its ingredient list than its competitors. (These things are reflected in its low protein and fat percentages.)
The next two foods are nearly identical, with one small difference: Pedigree uses an artificial preservative on its low-quality fat, so we would rank it lower in quality than the Purina Dog Chow. By the way, corn gluten meal, which appears third on both of these products’ ingredients lists, is a concentrated protein made from corn – again, a lower-cost, lower-quality nutrient for dogs than an animal-protein source.
我们有粗磨' N位排名低于所有的其余部分,由于该动物蛋白,所述非常低质量的其源“肉和骨粉, ”出现下其成分表(第三)比下的食物上的事实。甚至它的低质量,人为地保留脂肪来源出现了较低的成分表比其竞争者。 (这些东西都体现在其低蛋白质和脂肪百分比)。
Beneful has a significantly better animal-protein source than its predecessors; chicken byproduct meal is at least a named animal protein. And it’s present in a higher amount than in the preceding foods; see the higher protein content?
Beneful有显著更好的动物蛋白源比它的前辈;鸡副产品粉是至少一个命名的动物蛋白。和它的存在的较高量较一食品;看蛋白质含量较高?
We’d start to consider foods that appear on this page. They meet our basic criteria as described above, displaying some of the good traits (a named animal protein first on the list, whole grains, a named supporting animal-protein meal) and minor infractions with the “undesirable ingredients” (brewers rice, a food fragment). We’d call the Hills and the Iams product nearly a tie, with the edge in quality going to the Iams food, with the credit given for chicken meal in the fourth spot on the label (rather than fifth, as in the Hill’s food). Again, this is reflected in the total amount of protein seen in the food.
我们会开始考虑在此页面中的食物。他们满足我们的基本准则,如上所述,显示一些优良性状的(一个名为动物蛋白第一列表,五谷杂粮,一个名为支持动物蛋白粉对)和轻微违法行为的“不受欢迎的成分” (酿酒商米饭,食品片段) 。我们会打电话来的山和爱慕思产品近领带,在品质上与边缘要去爱慕思食物,与在第四位给出鸡肉标签上的信用(而不是第五,如山的粮食) 。再次,这反映在蛋白质的看出
We jump upward in quality with the next two foods. The Taste of the Wild product is a grain-free food, so remember to expect it to be higher in protein and fat – not something that every dog can handle. But look at those nice named meat sources – one fresh at the top of the list, followed immediately not one, but two supportive named meat meals. Nice!
我们会开始考虑的食物,我们向上跳跃质量连下两食物。野生产品的味道是无颗粒的食物,所以记得要指望它是蛋白质和脂肪高 - 不是每个狗可以处理。但是看看那些漂亮的命名来源肉类 - 一个新鲜的列表的顶部,紧接着不是一个,而是两个名为支持肉粉。太好了!
We will take another upward jump with the highest-quality product on this list, Orijen. Five ingredients down and there are still no grains or other carbohydrate sources on the ingredient list. It’s packed with high-quality named animal proteins, and this is reflected in its high protein content.
我们将采取另一种向上跳跃最高品质的产品列表上, Orijen 。五成分下来,还有配料表上没有谷物或其他碳水化合物来源。它的包装与命名的优质动物蛋白,这反映在它的蛋白质含量高。
By the way, don’t be afraid of feeding protein to your dog; he’s well suited to utilize it. If you’ve been warned about the dangers of too much protein, please see our article “When to Say No to Low-Protein” in the May 2005 issue of WDJ.
顺便说一句,不要怕蛋白质喂养你的狗;他非常适合利用它。如果你已经警告蛋白质过多的危险,请参阅我们的文章“当说不低蛋白”在2005年5月发行的WDJ
Hopefully, you feel comfortable now in reading an ingredient list. Here are just a few more things to look for when considering a new food for your dog.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS -其他参考因素
Many of the other things we want you to read the label for are neither good nor bad, just things you need to be aware of when shopping for your specific dog. Remember, each dog is an individual, and while it’s great when it works out that all of your dogs do well on the same food, don’t take this for granted.
许多我们希望你能阅读标签,其他的东西既不好也不坏,只是事情你需要知道选购特定的狗时。请记住,每只狗是个人,虽然它是伟大的,当它的工作原理指出,所有的狗在同一个食品做的很好,不走这是理所当然的。
You will need to become aware of how much protein and fat your dog thrives on – how much is too much, and how much is too little. Top-quality foods contain a lot more protein (and often, more fat, too) than lower-quality foods, so you may have to reduce the amount of food you feed quite a bit if you switch from a low-quality food to a really good one. (One upside is that good foods are much more digestible, and your dog’s poop should shrink a lot, too.)
你需要意识到有多少蛋白质和脂肪的你的狗兴旺 - 多少是太多了,又有多少是太少了。 - 高品质的食物中含有大量的蛋白质多(通常,比较胖,太)比低质量的食物,所以你可能不得不减少食物你喂了不少的金额,如果你从一个低质量的食品切换到真的不错。 (一个好处是,良好的食物更易消化,和你的狗的粪便应缩小了很多,也。 )
Look for a “best by” date that’s at least six months away. A best by date that’s 10 or 11 months away is ideal; it means the food was made very recently. Note: Foods made with synthetic preservatives (BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin) may have a “best by” date that is 18 months or more past the date of manufacture.
“百思”日期的至少六个月外找了。一个最好的饮料的保质期是10或11个月的时间是理想;这意味着食品制成最近。注:用合成防腐剂( BHA , BHT ,乙氧喹)制成的食品可能有一个“最好的”日期为18个月或以上过去的生产日期。
