How our guides are made
Your Dogs Food is an independent site, not a veterinary practice. Our guides are built from published sources such as the WSAVA, AAHA, AAFCO, the FDA and the Merck Veterinary Manual, and every specific fact links to where it came from. Drafts are researched with AI assistance and checked claim by claim against those sources before publishing. Read our editorial policy or learn more about us.
Our guides are general information for healthy dogs. If your dog has a health condition, is pregnant or nursing, or is on a prescription diet, ask your veterinarian.
