In this video, I compare two popular dog foods—one I see a ton of you feeding, and one that’s brand new to the market: Edgar & Cooper versus The Honest Kitchen. And no, you can’t tell everything about a food just by what’s printed on the bag (that’s honestly part of the problem I’m trying to push to change). But we can still use what we have in front of us to make a more informed decision. I break down how marketing claims can be misleading, like when a bag shouts “made with blueberries, apple, strawberry, mango,” but those ingredients show up after salt—meaning they’re only up to about 1% of the recipe. Then I look at the ingredient panels: both foods start with chicken and include potatoes and peas, but I talk about how ingredients like peas, potatoes, corn, and flour aren’t “bad” on their own—until they’re used in excess and start functioning like what I consider filler (added because it’s cheaper, not necessarily better). I also compare Honest Kitchen’s “human grade” and “minimally processed” claims to what’s actually listed, and it feels like their marketing lines up more with the ingredient list. At the end, I leave it to you: which would you feed—if either?
