Heart to Tail Dog Food Reviews

 

1. Complete Nutrition

True to its name, this kibble offers a full-scale of nutrients to enhance the overall health of your dog. This dog food variation boasts its content will improve your dog’s vitality, strength, and the health of their hearts.

This dog food contains so many fillers and no real meat. While we are usually fine with meal forms, this dog food uses the cheap kind.

For example, this food does not even specify what kind of meat was used. Is it chicken? Is it turkey? The ingredients do not indicate anything. The meats in this recipe are listed down only as’ meat and bone meal’ and ‘poultry byproduct meal.’

Also, quality dog foods should always start with a meat product unless it is made specifically to treat a condition (as can be seen in veterinary diets).

This formulation starts with whole grain corn instead. As we’ve mentioned above, corn is fine as long as it is not the leading ingredient in a dog food diet.

2. Prime Rib in Gravy

This wet dog food offers a balanced diet crafted with wholesome, natural ingredients. It features carefully selected ingredients to give your dogs as complete a nutrition as possible.

Much better than its dry dog food counterpart, this recipe features more natural and whole food ingredients. The meat is specifically named (beef), and there are none of those unnecessary ingredients that only act as fillers.

Crafted with real prime rib flavor, this wet dog food offers a mouthwatering taste experience that dogs love. It provides essential nutrients to support your dog’s overall health and well-being.

The only thing that we’d like to be improved on is the protein level. At 8%, it seems a little low when most canned dog foods have at least a crude protein content of 10%.

Overall, however, this formulation is a good choice to give your pups on a regular basis.

3. Pure Being Chicken and Brown Rice

Unlike their other products, this is a premium formulation which gears towards wholesome and quality ingredients. It contains no artificial preservatives and relies on natural ones instead.

Going the complete opposite way of the Complete Nutrition recipes, this Pure Being formulation keeps it simple and pure.

It does not contain fillers or questionable ingredients. Rather, each ingredient is high-quality and what you can usually see in premium dog food brands.

The first two ingredients are chicken and chicken meal, making this formulation clearly a meat-based one. While we opposed the use of a meat and bone meal in our review (see above) of the Complete Nutrition recipe, here we are absolutely fine.

Why? Because with chicken meal, the specific animal where the meat comes from is named

The recipe contains a favorable amount of meat (aside from chicken and chicken meal, it also boasts of turkey meal and fish meal), wholesome veggies, healthy carbs, and probiotics. It is one delicious dog food, I must say.

The only thing we feel is somewhat questionable is the canola oil, a type of oil that has undergone heavy processing.

However, canola oil is quite safe and does not really detract much from the recipe’s rating.

4. Pure Being Beef and Chicken

This recipe is a protein-rich meal that many dogs will find flavorful and satisfying. With beef and chicken as the first two ingredients, it delivers a strong animal-based protein foundation that can help support muscle maintenance and overall body condition. Beef broth also adds extra moisture and palatability, making the food appealing even for picky eaters.

The inclusion of beef liver provides an additional source of nutrients, including naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. Meanwhile, grains like barley, brown rice and oatmeal contribute carbohydrates for steady energy throughout the day. These ingredients may also provide fiber to support healthy digestion.

We also appreciate the addition of fish oil and ground flaxseed in this recipe. Both are sources of omega fatty acids that can help support healthy skin and a shinier coat. Sunflower oil further contributes beneficial fats that may aid overall skin condition.

Another thing we noticed is the use of dried beet pulp. While some pet owners dislike this ingredient, it is commonly used in dog food as a source of dietary fiber that may help promote firmer stools and digestive regularity.

However, this recipe may not be ideal for dogs with sensitivities to multiple animal proteins since it combines both beef and chicken in one formula. Pet parents managing strict elimination diets or food allergies may want a more limited-ingredient option instead.

Overall, this canned food appears to offer a balanced combination of animal protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich grains designed to help keep dogs energized and satisfied throughout the day.

5. Beef Flavored Sticks

First 5 ingredients:  Beef, Soy Flour, Wheat Flour, Pregelatinized Core Flour, Smoked Bacon

Introduced in sticks, these beef dog treats will surely give your canines a healthy heart and body. These items contain almost all the essential ingredients that will keep the best possible condition of your dog’s health.

It also contains a good amount of crude protein and fat, key ingredients that are helpful in keeping a canine’s body in tip-top shape.

These are rewarding snacks that can fill up your dog’s protein needs in between meals. The treats have a soft texture that makes it easy for older dogs (or those with teeth issues) to chew on. You can also break them up with no problem.

The first ingredient is real beef and smoked bacon gives it that enhanced taste to appeal to dogs. While most of the ingredients are impressive, be aware that the treats contain two types of sugar. Feed sparingly to your pets.
