Write in the front-a picky eater who makes the shoveling officer helpless.
NONO has been more than three years old, from the beginning to now has changed N kinds of dog food, all kinds of flavors have been tried, but each time would rather be hungry hunger strike also do not eat, do not like is not like, this is the attitude!. After trying a lot of them, I decided to choose Bernard Tiantian Pure Dog Food as the main food for the time being. When I saw the selection of the experience hall, I saw GO! Think about trying this dog food. When choosing this dog food, I was particularly perturbed, because according to past experience, NONO does not eat salmon flavor dog food, but NONO eats salmon.. What an unusual way to take a dog.. Moreover, NONO is an extremely picky eater. It is said that this dog food is specially designed for picky eaters, so this time we hope to change NONO's picky eating habits through it.

Experience the outside
You can see it from the front, GO! The main colors are black, white, silver and orange, and the overall collocation is very simple. In the upper left corner, there is an anti-counterfeiting sign that the shoveling officer is most concerned about, with a big Go printed in the center! There is also the feeling of a dog ready to rush out.
The silver area in the lower left corner is labeled sensitivity + shine in English, which means that this dog food is hypoallergenic formula and has hair brightening formula. There is no doubt that canine diet stands for dog food. The nourriture pour chiens also said that the food was specially designed for dogs, with two lines, one in English and one in French. The orange area on the right mainly represents the flavor of the food and some of the main formulas and the shelf life of the dog food. The salmon recipe is the salmon recipe. There are some introductions on the right, which means Go! The advantage is a unique formula, rich in salmon protein + deep-sea fish oil + a variety of probiotics, net weight is 2.72 KG, suitable for the whole dog to eat, the following English introduction is in French.
At the top of the whole bag, it says that the company producing the dog food is petcurean, and the maple leaf on the right says Canada, which means imported dog food. It is worth mentioning that this company produces GO! It also produces NOW dog food, which is represented by Baijiashi Company in China. So, above the regular dog food, there is a small round sign. It is the sign in the picture above that represents the formal entry into our country.
On the back, it looks like a series of special food introductions, such as the composition of raw materials, instructions for use, the best date for consumption, storage conditions and so on, which are expressed in many languages. At first glance, there are six languages in total, including English, Italian, Japanese and so on. Of course, we are most concerned about Chinese, because Chinese is a regular agent, so it is directly labeled.
The date of production is also the concern of the shoveling officer. As you can see from the chart below, the best eating date is March 25, 2018. This date does not look very fresh, because the shelf life is 16 months, so it should be produced at the end of 2016, which is relatively long. But my NONO is a big dog. Such a bag can basically be eaten for a few days. So I don't really care about this date. A little pimple in one's mind.
Anti-counterfeiting design that shoveling officials are most concerned about
As mentioned above, in Go! On the front of the dog food bag, there is a round logo to symbolize that this is a regular agent of dog food entering our country, but a logo alone is not enough, because it is very easy to imitate. To solve this problem, Bacasse made a system that scrapes away the coating on top.
Then on the official website, input the number above the coating into the system to detect the authenticity. This method is relatively common in the imported dog food in our country. I also checked it. The specific process is as follows: 1. Find the official website of Baijiashi Company. 2. Look for the anti-counterfeiting inquiry system on the official website.
Input the number into the system, you can see below whether the anti-counterfeiting string code is genuine, not surprisingly, my GO! It's a solid genuine product..
Experience the inner
Open the tear of the bag and prepare to enter the inner experience.
As you can see from the picture, GO! It uses the design of sticky buttons, which is quite special. Generally, it uses push-pull buttons, which have better sealing. I think this kind of button is very convenient, but it is easy to get into the air from the front. I prefer push-pull buttons.
As can be seen from the bag. See the dog food particles are very uniform, dark brown color, not too much fat on top, I tasted it, the taste is not very salty, nor that kind of fragrant taste.
Is the intuitive feeling in your hand very full?
Ingredients
Usually, the first ten ingredients in the list of ingredients lay the foundation of this dog food. From GO! Salmon meal, oatmeal, potatoes, whole grain oats, boneless salmon, canola oil, apples, natural spices, flaxseed, quinoa, dried kelp and dried chicory root are at the top of the list. It focuses on the nutritional efficacy of some main ingredients. 1. Salmon meal: As an international brand of dog food, salmon meal is very reliable, but some bad merchants often use some inferior materials and meat by-products to make meat meal, which is completely different from GO, an international brand. The protein content of pure salmon meal is much higher than that of normal fresh meat, so the existence of meat meal can increase the protein content, and many high-end dog foods have meat meal. The process of making salmon meal is also very complicated. You need to cook the salmon meat, then bake it at low temperature for more than ten hours, and then see if it is dry. When it is dry, you can crush it! Shovel officers can also make salmon meal at home. 2. Whole oats and oatmeal: These two are actually the same thing. Oatmeal is a kind of food made by rolling oat grains, which is flat, about the same diameter as soybean grains, and has a complete shape. The cooked oats are highly viscous, which is brought by the healthy ingredients of beta glucan, and has the effects of reducing blood fat, blood sugar and satiety. 3. Potatoes: Considering the cost, pellet formation and the calories provided by dog food, there must be carbohydrates in dog food. Basically, the standard is to see the level of carbohydrate content. The best is functional starchy foods such as pumpkin and yam, followed by beans, cassava, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., and the fourth is brown rice, job's tears, corn, etc. 4. Canola oil: Provides natural antioxidants and preserves mixed tocopherols and citric acid. Formula summary: Animal protein is derived from salmon and salmon meal. Carbohydrate sources are mainly potatoes and oats. In addition, fruits and vegetables such as apples are added to increase vitamins and minerals. Some natural preservatives are added to facilitate preservation, promote digestion and stabilize the dropping of dogs. The ingredients are relatively comprehensive, but the animal protein is less.
Nutrient composition
General dog food is meat, grain and vegetable additives, meat is beef, chicken, fish and so on, grain is brown rice, corn and so on, additives are vitamins, trace elements, fish oil, lecithin, etc. If there is no grain, brown rice, corn and so on are not used, potatoes and potatoes are used, these substances are mixed together, puffed at high temperature, and made into dog food. Protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals in a healthy ratio for your dog. Generally speaking, dog food is mainly made of food materials, supplemented by added substances, which are added to balance the proportion of various nutrients in dog food. What is this ratio? Please refer to the attached drawing. The figure below is the national standard, which is relatively low.
Let's take a look at the AAFCO standard, which is higher.
According to the list of ingredients just now, we can see GO! 22% crude protein and 12% crude fat At the top of the list of ingredients are salmon meal, oatmeal, potatoes, whole oats, boneless salmon, canola oil, apples, natural spices, flaxseed, quinoa, dried kelp and dried chicory root. Only two of them are animal protein, and the rest are all plant protein that is difficult to digest.
Nutritional summary
GO！ Although the proportion of this dog food meets the standard, the top few lack rich animal protein.
Preliminary tasting
Wang is looking at Mommy's hand. Why don't you order me to eat?! Worried to death..
Mommy, give the order!
Here we go. Here we go.
The performance of this new food NONO is not resistant at all, and I love it very much. After all, it is a big brand.
Um.. This food is a little bit ferocious.
Never waste what falls on the ground!
Absolutely! Nope! Waves! Fee!.. Ahem, eat a little fast. From the initial palatability, NONO expressed its welcome to this go dog food, which I was a little surprised, because it is really a very picky dog. Never a dog food can let it so readily pick up the dog food on the ground to eat, after all, it is a proud dog, very picky. So, GO! The palatability of the dog food is very good, which makes NONO's first impression of it very good.
One of the contrasts with other dog foods: Granular contrast
Size comparison, from left to right, followed by Yiqin, Bernard Tianchun, GO! In terms of size, Yiqin's dog food is the largest, followed by GO! And then Bernard Tianchun's smallest.
Greasy degree contrast, from top to bottom are Yiqin, Bernard Tianchun, go dog food! Use the upper and lower layers of napkins to cover the oil secretion test. After 30 minutes, the degree of oil stains on the napkins is that Yiqin is greater than GO and Bernard Tianchun, respectively. Yiqin is the most greasy, and too much oil is not conducive to digestion.
Broken texture contrast, from left to right, are Yiqin, Bernard Tianchun, GO! (Follow up in this order, no more explanation), texture, GO! The texture is the densest, and some grains can be seen in the relatively close, and the pure Bernard is between the other two.
Smell comparison: In terms of smell, the strongest flavor is Bernard Tianchun, followed by GO, and the weakest is Yiqin dog food.
Comparison with other dog foods: soaking test
Photos before soaking in water
Soak in water for 5 minutes, from the picture, the most stable is Bernard Tianchun, Yiqin's head is slightly swollen, GO has a little particle precipitation.
In the photo of soaking in water for 10 minutes, all three kinds of dog food have a little swelling at this time, GO has a little obvious swelling, and Bernard Tianchun continues to remain stable. Yiqin has settled down a little.
It's more obvious from another angle.
The photos soaked in water for 20 minutes have already begun to expand, and GO is obviously looser.
After soaking in the water for 40 minutes, the GO has begun to split, and the water is more turbid.
Soak in water for 90 minutes. By this time, Yiqin's dog food has begun to muddy the water. Bernard Tianchun is as stable as ever, while GO has fully expanded and split.
In this round of comparison, Bernard Tianchun won. To tell you the truth, I am quite disappointed with GO.
The second comparison with other dog foods: palatability PK
On the floor of the home, place two dog treats that the family is eating and GO! Dog food, from left to right, is Yiqin dog food, Bernard day pure dog food, go dog food
Mommy is going to do a little experiment again.
NONO is ready ~ ~ ~
As soon as he gave the order, he went straight to the dog food!
The food is everywhere, but they are still eating GO!
Still eating, to the last one!!!
After eating, Mommy, I still want to eat Go!
Baby.. There is no GO. All right, Mommy! Then I'll eat something else.. After NONO found that there was no go dog food, he began to move to the side to eat Bernard Tianchun in the middle.
Did not finish eating next to the beginning of eating the dog food.
The end result is.. And there's no dog food left.. Only Bernard was left scattered on the ground. Scattered in the wind.. My picky eater Wang NONO's name is not for nothing!
To sum up, there is no doubt that the palatability is better. The second is Yiqin, and the last is Bernard Tianchun.
Tasting effect
During the one-month experience, NONO showed great love for dog food, and even when he finished eating, he would pick up the dog food falling on the ground to eat. During this period, he was in good condition and in good health. There is an additional effect, that is, the number of tear stains has increased. You can see the comparison of the photos. I don't know why. I think the shoveling officer needs to pay special attention to this point. I don't know if it's only my Wang who is like this. The picture below is NONO before eating go dog food. You can see eye droppings in the corner of your eyes, but it is also a normal phenomenon.
Eat GO! After the dog food, you can see that NONO has tears in the corner of his eyes. It's very obvious, and the color is very dark.
Stool condition, hair loss, mental state
The condition of the stool is relatively shaped, from the color point of view, showing a mixture of black and yellow stool, which may be related to what NONO has eaten recently. The amount of hair loss is normal, and there is no large amount of hair loss. In terms of mental state, as lively as ever. Nothing abnormal, at least from the state really can not see what is the difference compared with other dog food.
Subsequent palatability
After eating for a few days.. NONO began to be picky about dog food again, and began not to eat dog food again.
Shovel shit officer concerned about the cost performance
For the price, GO! Dog food is really "expensive". After all, it is imported from abroad, and there are all kinds of tariffs and so on, which lead to higher costs, so the price is relatively high. From the formula point of view, I think this dog food does not match the price. The first ingredient in the list is salmon, which provides the main protein of dog food. After that, the ingredients have nothing to do with meat. Almost 800 packages were sold, with less meat and potatoes in the top few. Domestic 300 yuan of food formula can be mixed with GO! Counterbalance, from the formula point of view, I am not so optimistic about this dog food, so whether it is worth it depends on how you understand the shoveling officer. (1) 1 pack of 2.72 KG dog food. For pet owners with small dogs, the financial pressure is not so great. But for large dogs, we need to seriously consider the cost, I think it can be appropriate as a complementary food, that is, with some relatively cheap dog food, mixed together to feed. It can not only let Wang eat, but also save a little cost. (2) For dogs with poor appetites or picky eaters, Go! The super-high palatability can effectively assist eating. If combined with some canned food, it can also improve the dog's desire to eat, eat up the dry food, picky pets are no longer prodigal! Because I really love my pet, I will be willing to give up. I am willing to buy good dog food for Wang, but the cost performance is a little low, so I may consider buying it occasionally.
Sum up
Summary, Go! It is a relatively good dog food, although it is not the best, but it is still medium. But the cost performance is relatively low, the same price can also choose some other big imported brands. Dogs with good stomach and intestines can be appropriately recommended to eat. Now and go are both made by Canadian manufacturers represented by Bacasse, and the formulas and manufacturers of the two products are similar. From this point of view, I may consider the excellent palatability of this dog food, and then buy a little as a supplement. I may not consider the staple food. After all, there are more choices of dog food at the same price.
Write at the end
As we all know, dog food can not be changed immediately, it needs to be changed slowly. This experience gave a month, in order to fully let Wang experience better, I changed food for a longer time, about five days, but at the same time, there is a problem. It's just that my dog is too big.. After changing the food, basically there is little dog food left. We can't comprehensively look at the situation of eating dog food for a long time. We can only look at the effect from a short time. So I give you a reference. I hope you can choose the right staple food. Also provide some tips to choose a dog food suitable for your dog. 1. Choose well-known manufacturers. The smaller the factory, the smaller the brand risk it bears, the more it dares to scribble on the materials, the proportion of self-made nutrition has no certain standard, and it is not good to eat for a long time. 2. Choose the dog food produced by the coastal cities with the first development of foreign trade. Because there are years of experience, such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, of course, not absolutely, now Shandong grain is also doing better and better. 3. Do not choose the first grain. Dog food must be based on meat. 4. If the price is particularly low, it is not recommended to choose. Minimum 7 yuan a catty is not recommended to choose, if conditions permit, it is best to choose more than 10 yuan a catty, small dogs choose more than 12 yuan a catty. This is the approximate market price based on the ingredients used. 5. Those with obvious flavor and too greasy are not allowed. Hope that everyone can choose the right dog food, after all, are shoveling officials, can give pets the best care within their ability, is what we want to do. Above ~ ~ ~ ~
