Dry dog food
As carnivores, dogs assimilate proteins much more easily than carbohydrates. For this reason, the best dry food for dogs is one rich in meat, with few cereals and calibrated to their nutritional needs. Kibbles are an example. But how and which ones to choose? And what advantage does this type of food have? Find out with Aldog® on this page!

Even though it all looks the same, dry dog food varies greatly depending on the brand and composition. Which, of course, also affects taste and palatability. Only at Aldog® , for example, you can find over 15 types of kibble , which differ in composition depending on the age and size of the dog and on particular dietary needs – for example allergies or intolerances.
There is, however, a common denominator of Aldog® dry dog food: all the kibbles are meat-based and contain few cereals .
Aldog® kibbles
Our kibbles are available in mini, medium or maxi size in 1.5 kg, 3 kg, 10 kg or 12 kg packs :
Aldog®, the natural and meat-rich dry food for dogs
Pork, duck, rabbit, lamb, salmon, Nordic fish … at Aldog® there really is something for everyone!
Dogs have about a quarter of the size of human taste buds, but they work great: in fact, our pets have taste receptors that are activated by different types of meat . Which explains why they sometimes go crazy for foods that we just can't understand.
In addition to having meat as the first ingredient , Aldog® kibble is a type of dry food for dogs specifically formulated to fully meet their nutritional needs based on age, size, particular physical conditions and:
• they are natural, that is, free from chemical additives
• have a gluten-free formulation, also suitable for dogs with celiac disease or gluten intolerance
• contain few cereals
• they are easily digestible because the cereals are flaked and double cooked
• come from a traceable Italian supply chain
• are produced with regional or Italian ingredients in our family-run company
The best dry dog food takes into account size and age
Not all dry dog food is the same: the best, in fact, is the one that takes into account various physical and non-physical factors, including age.
>>> Puppies , for example, need a higher energy intake in the first five months of life to grow healthy. Therefore, the best dry food for puppies are puppy-junior kibbles that contain calcium and other essential nutrients.
>>> The diet of adults , however, can vary greatly based on their lifestyle, which can be more or less sedentary, and their size: it is however better to prefer specific kibble for adult dogs .
>>> Seniors need a type of dry food that is high in fiber , so as to prevent intestinal problems that they encounter due to a slower metabolism.
Finally, the size must also be taken into consideration: mini kibbles, for example, are more suitable for small dogs, unlike maxi kibbles which, instead, are better for large and giant sized dogs.

Is your dog hungry?
Dry or Wet? Here's What You Need to Know
Dry dog food has its undoubted advantages :
- It is easy to store once the package has been opened
- It satisfies all the dog's needs because it is a complete type of food
- the dog needs it in smaller quantities than wet food
- It helps keep teeth healthy because it is a form of gum exercise that also fights tartar.
Wet food, on the other hand, spoils more easily. However, it is more appetizing and contains a greater quantity of water.
In reality, this is a point that does not constitute a big problem. If you choose the best dry food for dogs, in fact, you will find only natural organoleptic additives that literally invite our four-legged friends to the bowl, but that do not negatively affect their health.
For example, the natural chestnut extract contained in Aldog® kibble has many active ingredients that also promote digestion and correct intestinal function.
The dog, unlike the cat, has no problems drinking. Therefore, even if he feeds mainly on dry food, he does not risk dehydration : just find a nice bowl of water next to the kibble!
The consequences of a balanced diet
