Pedigree dog food - composition analysis, reviews of owners and veterinarians

Balanced nutrition helps to keep your pet healthy, improve the quality and duration of its life. The resistance of the liver and kidneys to harmful influences in dogs is much lower than in humans, so eating from a common table is contraindicated for a four-legged friend.

Improper diet can cause digestive upset, allergies, poor health, decreased activity, and other adverse effects.

Developers of PEDIGREE® rations understand that a dog is more than just an animal, but a loyal friend and helper. That is why they offer good nutrition, taking into account the characteristics of the age and breed of the dog, allowing you to maintain the health and well-being of your pet throughout its life.

PEDIGREE® feed range

The dog's diet should be balanced and have sufficient energy value, contain the optimal amount of nutrients, be well absorbed and give a feeling of fullness.

PEDIGREE® foods contain the necessary amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins to fully meet the daily requirement of a puppy or adult dog.

Depending on age, physical characteristics, and lifestyle, a different ratio of nutritional components is required, which is why the manufacturer offers special nutrition:

for puppies;
for adult dogs.

Separately, we can highlight the line of sticks Denta Stix, designed for regular care of teeth and oral cavity. Denta Stiх has an X-shape, created taking into account the structure of the dog's oral cavity. It promotes mechanical cleaning of teeth and massage of the gums.

PEDIGREE® Puppy Line

Reviews of dog breeders

Our dog is allergic and fastidious, his digestion is very sensitive, so the search for suitable food took more than one year. Having tried a lot of expensive and cheap options, one day we decided to purchase Pedigree food for him. After the treat, there were no side reactions, but rather the opposite. The chair returned to normal, the eyes stopped flowing, the smell from the mouth disappeared. The dog is active and joyful, stopped begging from the table.

Alexandra, amateur dog breeder

I inherited a small hunting dog of the Border Terrier breed. I don't have time to cook porridge, so I wanted to find the right food. When choosing, I was guided by the composition and price, so I settled on Pedigree. When I finally introduced this feed into the diet, I did not notice any negative reactions. The dog runs and jumps. My mouth does not smell, my teeth are cleaner. Everything is fine with the stomach and digestion. The food suited my dog one hundred percent.

Alexander, owner of the Border Terrier

My Malamutes have been eating Pedigree for 8 years now, they are healthy and beautiful. I breed Malamutes for sledding, so it is important that the puppies have strong joints, good muscles, and excellent digestion. Pedigree for large dogs and for large breed puppies helps me to raise such puppies. In this price range, there are no feeds of the same quality as Pedigree and with the same range of functions.

The opinion of veterinarians

As a Staffordshire Bull Terrier owner and veterinarian, I recommend PEDIGREE®! After participating in testing this product, I decided to continue giving Pedigri to the pet. The dog eats with pleasure, I did not notice any negative changes in appearance or deterioration indigestion. If the feed fits, then why overpay ?! I feed dry food and give wet food as a treat. I also recommend Pedigree to the clients of our clinic "Bambi" as the main diet for healthy dogs.

Elena, a veterinarian at the Bambi clinic, Moscow

As a veterinarian, I decided to take part in the testing of Pedigri feed. For a month, my parents' dog has been eating this brand of food. We noted that the animal became more active, more mobile. The dog lost weight, the stool returned to normal, there were positive changes in appearance. After the experiment, it was decided to continue feeding the pet with PEDIGREE® food.

Natalya, a veterinarian at the Ideal clinic (Moscow), has more than 9 years of experience

Having worked as a veterinarian for over 20 years, I can definitely say that the most common problems in most dogs are: gingivitis, plaque on the teeth, and bad breath. Regular use of PEDIGREE® Denta Stix helps to cope with these phenomena. Due to the special shape and degree of hardness, the sticks provide mechanical cleaning, and the sodium tripolyphosphate and zinc sulfate contained in the composition prevents the development of diseases and the formation of tartar.

By choosing PEDIGREE®, the owner can be sure that his pet is getting everything it needs for nutritious nutrition, healthy growth, and development.
