116: In this episode, I dive into the Kibble Hierarchy—what separates a quality kibble from the bottom-of-the-barrel options. I break down ingredient labels, key red flags to watch for (like rendered meals and non-descript meats), and how to make better choices for your dog’s health.
This episode is especially for those who can’t feed raw or home-cooked meals exclusively. I also share some of my top kibble recommendations and tips for evaluating dog food brands.
Topics Discussed:
- Understanding the Kibble Hierarchy—what makes a kibble good or bad

- My top kibble recommendations for those who can’t feed raw or home-cooked meals
