“Meat first” dog and cat foods - sounds great, but it's a marketing trick designed to trick you.

In this episode, we reveal how pet food labels deceive you into thinking there’s more meat in your pet food than there really is, and what you can look for instead to make smarter choices for your dog or cat.

I wrote about this on my How To Feed A Dog Blog many years ago - why do we feed our dogs the same brand of relatively tasteless dry dog food for every single meal and believe it is the right thing to do.

With my experience of pet foods and pet food marketing, it has to be said a pet food company loves to lock you in to their product for the lifespan of your dog.

This doesn't mean it's right, and it doesn't mean it's healthy.

Take a minute to consider yourself eating the same processed food for each and every meal. Not only would that be uninteresting, it is likely over time you will become intolerant of other foods, and if you reintroduce them into your diet you may get belly ache or diarrhea.

I advocate a varied (but appropriate) diet for our pet dogs and cats, both animals I view as carnivorous, and this is how I've fed my own pets for many years.

In this podcast we discuss whether dog food is bad for cats - which it is - and the reasons why.

I consider most cat food bad for cats, so when it comes to feeding a cat dog food - especially dry dog food - this can lead to your cat becoming nutrient deficient or ill if you continue to feed the food.

If your cat steals food from the dog food bowl then don't worry about it, a one off shouldn't cause any harm.
