How to Achieve Optimum Canine Nutrition

💡 Our Recommendations

Rotation - Your Most Important Nutritional Strategy

🐾 No matter what food your dog eats, rotation is always recommended where possible to increase the probability of better all-round nutrition.

🔄 We highly recommend rotating within the same brand whenever possible. 🐶

This range includes the following rotation options: Chicken, Duck, Salmon & Turkey. The variety available allows for effective nutritional rotation, helping to balance amino acids, vitamins, and minerals over time.

Understanding Rotation

Natural Dog Treats

💡 Why Might Treats Be Considered?

All treats should serve a nutritional purpose. They either balance the dogs diet filling nutritional gaps, support digestion or promote joint/coat health. 

This food provides solid nutrition but may benefit from some carefully selected treats to complement specific nutrients and support overall well-being.

Recommended Treats to Complement Forthglade Cold Pressed Grain Free Dry Dog Food

✅ Beef Achilles Tendon - A durable, long-lasting chew that supports dental health and strengthens jaw muscles.

✅ Beef Liver - A nutrient-dense treat high in Vitamin A, iron, and essential amino acids, promoting healthy vision and immune function.

✅ Lamb Trotter - A protein-rich chew containing collagen, calcium, and minerals, promoting joint and coat health.

✅ Chicken Feet - A natural source of collagen and glucosamine, helping maintain joint health and skin elasticity.

🚨 Caution: Treats should always be given in moderation. Even natural treats contribute to daily nutrition intake, so they should be part of a balanced feeding plan to avoid excess.

Supplements

💡Why Might Supplements Be Considered?

This food provides a solid nutritional foundation, though some nutrients may be less optimal than in higher-rated foods. Rotating protein sources and introducing targeted supplements, such as omega-3s or joint support, can help maintain overall well-being.

Our Recommended Supplement Range

Whole Foods - Additional Nutrients

Looking to enhance your dog’s diet naturally, whole foods can be a great way to introduce additional nutrients.

Even the healthiest whole foods can turn a well-balanced diet into something excessive if portion control is ignored. More nutrition doesn’t always mean better, it often means overload, leading to toxicity, digestive issues, or long-term organ strain.

✔ Whole foods should complement, not compete with a balanced diet.
✔ If you’re adding whole foods regularly, you must reduce the main food accordingly.
✔ If you have any questions about whole foods contact us to ensure the diet stays safe, balanced, and beneficial.

🛡️ Transparency, Responsibility & Scoring Methodology

✅ Independent Analysis – All ratings and reviews are based solely on publicly available information and are not influenced by any third party. The Delicious Dog Food Company does not receive payment or sponsorship in exchange for favourable reviews. Scores are calculated using our independent, locked-in rating system.

✅ No Veterinary Advice – The information provided is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace veterinary advice. If you have concerns about your dog’s health, always consult a qualified veterinarian before making dietary changes.

✅ Manufacturer Responsibility – The accuracy of any claims, ingredients, or nutritional values stated on this page is the responsibility of the manufacturer. If discrepancies arise, we encourage manufacturers to contact us with updated, verifiable information so we can reassess the review accordingly.

✅ Liability Waiver – The Delicious Dog Food Company is not liable for any consequences resulting from the use of the reviewed products. Dog owners should use their own judgment and consult professionals when necessary.

✅ Scoring Methodology Disclaimer – Our scoring system is based on a structured analysis of four key nutritional categories: Protein Quality, Essential Amino Acids, Carbohydrate Balance and Biological Suitability. These ratings are determined using verifiable public data and a locked-in, repeatable methodology. No subjective opinions or outside influences affect the final score.

✅ Data and Transparency Policy – If a product lacks transparency regarding ingredients, processing methods, or nutrient values, we will always assume the worst-case scenario. Why? Because if the details were positive, they would be used in the marketing of the food. A lack of transparency in dog food often suggests something is being hidden, and we refuse to make assumptions in favour of any product without clear, verifiable facts.
