How to Read Dog Product Reviews

Dog product reviews serve as informative material with the purpose of helping you choose the products for your pet. A product review is a short article describing the main characteristics and benefits of a specific product, giving the reader targeted information about the product it describes. Given the large choice of products owners have for their dogs, it is often very difficult to choose the best one. Therefore, reading a reliable review about the product can ease the choice you have to make.

How to Read Dog Product Reviews

Depending on the type of products you are interested in buying, you should look for specific information which is of uttermost importance for your dog’s well being. For instance, if you look for food or supplements, you should search for specific information regarding what the food contains, what substances might harm your dog, who are they designed for in terms of age, breed and other characteristics.

You can also look for products which help you as much as your dog, such as automatic food dispensers.

In that products review, you also have to read carefully about the characteristics and the advantages it provides.

When reading a dog product review, you should take into consideration its source. Reviews published by manufacturers or on the manufacturer’s webpage can be sometimes biased. If you want to get unbiased information, it is probably best to consult more reviews on the same product.

Reading Dog Food Reviews

When you start reading reviews about dog food, for instance, you should carefully consider what age and what type of dog they address to.

Look if there is a specific medical condition it is designed for.

If you find a product that seems to be fit for your dog, look for the ingredients and the amounts in which they are to be found in that particular product.

You should avoid feeding your dog products which contain:

  • high amounts of preservatives (BHA, BHT and Ethoxyguin)
  • powdered cellulose
  • corn
  • wheat
  • soy
  • dyes
  • meat by-products

You should also consider the validity term of the product: the more they last, the more preservatives they contain.

Reading Automatic Food Dispenser Reviews

Having an automatic food dispenser helps both you and your dog a lot. If you have such a product, you don’t have to be worried if you are not at home for the dog’s dinner. In order to make sure that you get exactly the product you need, you should consider the product’s dimensions as compared to your dog. You wouldn’t like to buy an automatic food dispenser that is taller than you dog or, a tiny product and your dog gets his head stuck in it. Therefore, consider the product’s size, material, automation, how easy it is to be cleaned and how resistant it is as compared to your dog’s strength and behavior.

When you read a review, try to figure out which are the main characteristics you expect that product to have.

Always remember to read more than 1 review for the same product and even join a few forum discussions to learn more about the products.
