This day and age, people are very skeptical as to what they may be feeding their pets as recent health scares regarding what is in the food and what is and isn’t being done to ensure the safety of the food. Many consumers are very leery of buying off branded foods or manufactured dry kibble, opting instead to buy natural organic dog food that is made fresh on a daily basis, or make their own from a homemade dog food recipe.

The develpoment of the nutritional guide now being posted conspicuously on the dog food packaging has sought to eliminate some of the stress of buying safe and healthy food, as well as providing a source for consumers to comparision shop with.

An issue with this however, is that there is no way for a Dog Food Report to be given for a producer. Also, with many manufacturers making no quality checks on their food, the resulting lack of oversight should there be an issue with ingredients or the manufacturing process might not be found until the product is in the hands of the consumer.

Recently, a number of brands unknowingly used bacteria infected grains and materials in manufacturing their food. As a result the governments in a number of countries have considered requiring the manufacturers to compile a Dog Food Report for the food they produce. Such a report could be costly for a company to create but it’s benefits would be great.

One way a Dog Food Report could help is that it would allow the average consumer to have a look at what exactly is being fed to their pet. The report would contain a quality report of the ingredients of the food, allowing the consumer to see what was in their pet’s food along with some assurance that the ingredients are fresh.

In addition, the Dog Food Report would provide a periodical nutritional value check of the kibble by an independent entity, such as a government lab or one that was hired to be impartial. The lab would verify the packaging claims for nutrition, and would force an update in case the packaging is false or doesn’t reflect the newest information. Such information is vital for some Dog Owners concerned with their dog’s health.

Another great benefit is the ability for the consumer to comparison shop, putting all food makers in a line up for all to see. This kind of comparison shoping could drive the dog food manufacturers to create better quality food.

The need for a Dog Food Report is critical for the production of safer, higher quality dog foods in this day and age. If manufacturers were required to do more oversight, the quality of the dog foods sold worldwide would improve drastically.
