Pet Supplies FAQs

How often you feed your pet dry food depends on the energy level, size, age, breed and health of your pet. It is typically suggested to feed your pet twice a day, however you should consult your veterinarian to know what is best for the dietary needs of your pet. Both dry food and wet food can provide your pet a nutritionally balanced diet, but they can be used in combination based on what works best for your pet. Dry food encourages dogs to chew their food which helps prevent tartar buildup. Dry food is easy to pre-portion and wont go bad as quickly as wet food if left out. Dry food also tends to be a more affordable option, depending on the brand. Shop our selection of Heart to Tail and Pure Being pet products.

You should completely change the litter at least once a week and scoop out any waste a minimum of once to twice a day to keep unwanted odors away. Ideally, any time you notice waste in your cats litter box you should scoop it out.

Its beneficial to have a variety of toys to rotate throughout the week. This will help to ensure that your dog wont get bored and make the toys last longer. If your dog is rough with toys, you should look for sturdy toys that can withstand chewing.

Dental sticks are a delicious treat to give your dog that will aid their dental hygiene. Heart to Tail Dental Sticks help to clean teeth and fight tarter buildup.

Heart to Tail Dog Food Reviews

1. Complete Nutrition

Rating: 2/5 stars

First 5 ingredients: Ground Yellow Corn, Poultry By-product Meal, Soybean Meal, Meat & Bone Meal, Corn Gluten Meal

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

This recipe is made with a complete and balance nutrition in order to enhance the overall health of your dogs.

True to its name, this kibble offers a full-scale of nutrients to enhance the overall health of your dog. This dog food variation boasts its content will improve your dogs vitality, strength, and the health of their hearts.

This dog food contains somany fillersand no real meat. While we are usually fine with meal forms, this dog food uses the cheap kind.

For example, this food does not even specify what kind of meat was used. Is it chicken? Is it turkey? The ingredients do not indicate anything. The meats in this recipe are listed down only as meat and bone meal and poultry byproduct meal.

Also, quality dog foods should always start with a meat product unless it is made specifically to treat a condition (as can be seen in veterinary diets).

This formulation starts with whole grain corn instead. As weve mentioned above, corn is fine as long as it is not the leading ingredient in a dog food diet.

Pros

Complete nutrition

Highly palatable

Budget-friendly

Contains vitamins and minerals

Ideal for pets with sensitivities

Cons

Contains corn (a cheap filler)

Has meat by-products

2. Prime Rib in Gravy

Rating: 4/5 stars

First 5 ingredients: Beef By-products, Water Sufficient For Processing, Chicken Liver, Deboned Chicken, Poultry By-products

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

With carefully selected ingredients to give your dogs as complete a nutrition as possible minus all those unnecessary ingredients that only act as fillers.

This wet dog food offers a balanced diet crafted with wholesome, natural ingredients. It features carefully selected ingredients to give your dogs as complete a nutrition as possible.

Much better than its dry dog food counterpart, this recipe features more natural and whole food ingredients. The meat is specifically named (beef), and there are none of those unnecessary ingredients that only act as fillers.

Crafted with real prime rib flavor, this wet dog food offers a mouthwatering taste experience that dogs love. It provides essential nutrients to support your dog's overall health and well-being.

The only thing that wed like to be improved on is the protein level. At 8%, it seems a little low when most canned dog foods have at least a crude protein content of 10%.

Overall, however, this formulation is a good choice to give your pups on a regular basis.

Pros

Contains real beef

Features healthy carbs like rice

No wheat, soy, or gluten ingredients

Zero artificial colors or flavors.

Cons

Protein content is a little low (8%)

3. Pure Being Chicken and Brown Rice

Rating: 4/5 stars

First 5 ingredients: Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Ground Brown Rice, Peas, Pearled Barley

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

Made with high quality ingredients that offers delicious flavors that ensure a healthy and balanced nutritional diet.

Unlike their other products, this is a premium formulation which gears towards wholesome and quality ingredients. It contains no artificial preservatives and relies on natural ones instead.

Going the complete opposite way of the Complete Nutrition recipes, this Pure Being formulation keeps it simple and pure.

It does not contain fillers or questionable ingredients. Rather, each ingredient is high-quality and what you can usually see in premium dog food brands.

The first two ingredients are chicken and chicken meal, making this formulation clearly a meat-based one. While we opposed the use of a meat and bone meal in our review (see above) of the Complete Nutrition recipe, here we are absolutely fine.

Why? Because with chicken meal, the specific animal where the meat comes from is named

The recipe contains a favorable amount of meat (aside from chicken and chicken meal, it also boasts of turkey meal and fish meal), wholesome veggies, healthy carbs, and probiotics. It is one delicious dog food, I must say.

The only thing we feel is somewhat questionable is the canola oil, a type of oil that has undergone heavy processing.

However, canola oil is quite safe and does not really detract much from the recipes rating.

Pros

Budget friendly

Contains a variety of vegetables

High in fiber (helps lower cholesterol)

Made from carefully selected ingredients

4. Pure Being Salmon & Potatoes Recipe

Rating: 2/5 stars

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

A hearty meal based on fish thats rich in omega fatty acids. With just the right amount of potato to provide your pooch with enough energy for a whole days worth of adventure.

This recipe is a hearty meal that canines will love. Based on an oily fish thats rich in fatty acids, this dog food will help keep your pets fur and skin in good condition while keeping the rest of their body in top shape. This food is ideal if your dog is sensitive to poultry or has allergies.

It provide dogs with a complete meal thats meant to provide them with enough energy for a whole days worth of adventure.

The first ingredient is an animal-based protein, which is further supported by the inclusion of whitefish and animal liver. Potatoes and ground peas also contribute a bit to the protein level.

However, we take exception to two ingredients in this food. The first and the most serious is carrageenan, a food thickener.

While there isn't any conclusive evidence that carrageenan is bad for your dogs health, there have been studies suggesting that even food-grade carrageenan can degrade inside the stomach. Once degraded, it can cause inflammation, lesions, and worse.

The second thing we noticed about this recipe is the animal liver. While we fully support the inclusion of organ meats in dog food (organs are wholly nutritious), we only do so if the animal where the organ came from is named.

Unfortunately, animal liver is too generic sounding and can mean that the brand is not sure what kind of liver was mixed in either.

Pros

Salmon is top ingredient

Allergy-friendly

Zero corn, wheat, or soy

No artificial colors or flavors

Cons

Features carrageenan

Has an unnamed liver ingredient

5. Beef Flavored Sticks

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

First 5 ingredients: Beef, Soy Flour, Wheat Flour, Pregelatinized Core Flour, Smoked Bacon

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

Made from organic ingredients and high-quality proteins that aim to keep the best possible condition of your dogs heart.

Introduced in sticks, these beef dog treats will surely give your canines a healthy heart and body. These items contain almost all the essential ingredients that will keep the best possible condition of your dogs health.

It also contains a good amount of crude protein and fat, key ingredients that are helpful in keeping a canine's body in tip-top shape.

These are rewarding snacks that can fill up your dogs protein needs in between meals. The treats have a soft texture that makes it easy for older dogs (or those with teeth issues) to chew on. You can also break them up with no problem.

The first ingredient is real beef and smoked bacon gives it that enhanced taste to appeal to dogs. While most of the ingredients are impressive, be aware that the treats contain two types of sugar. Feed sparingly to your pets.

Pros

Easy to eat and digest

Made of naturally processed ingredients

Made with real beef and smoked bacon

Many dogs love the distinct flavor

Cons

Features carrageenan

Has an unnamed liver ingredient

6. Bacon Curlz

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

First 5 ingredients: Wheat Flour, Smoked Bacon, Soy Flour, Vegetable Glycerin, Corn Syrup

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

A tasty treat with bacon flavor that will surely make your pup crave for more. With essential levels of carbohydrates and a perfect balance of protein.

Crafted to look like real bacon, these snackable treats will keep every dog happy in-between meals.

These curls are neat treats for canines who love the taste of bacon. Theyre crafted with the real thing (smoked bacon is the second ingredient) plus an additional helping of beef for added flavor and protein boost.

These arent hard treats. With a moisture of 28%, the snacks have a somewhat soft texture that will allow you to break off pieces easily to feed little pups or canines with teeth issues

While the guaranteed analysis of the snacks looks good (protein 16%, fiber 3.5%, and fat 5%) as well as most of the ingredients, we have to caution against feeding these treats more than once in a while.

These contain corn syrup and cane molasses, which are forms of sugar. Sugar is not toxic for dogs, but it can lead to obesity.

Pros

Contains a 28% level of moisture

Has a good amount of protein

Made with real smoked bacon and beef

Devoid of artificial colors and flavors

Cons

Has corn syrup (a kind of sugar)

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

Not only it will make your dog smile, it is also effective in boosting his appetite. This will help improve your pet's dental health.

Although this is not a pet food variation, we thought of adding this to our comprehensive canine food review as many owners swear by its effectiveness in boosting their dogs oral health.

This Aldi version of a teeth cleaner will surely make your dog smile.

These naturally-flavored sticks offer dogs a tastier way to improve their dental health. The snacks help clean the teeth when chewed and prevent tartar buildup.

If youre not religious about brushing your canines teeth daily, these dental sticks might help (although we still recommend brushing your pets teeth regularly).

Pros

Naturally-flavored

Affordable pricing

Made with real smoked bacon and beef

Devoid of artificial colors and flavors

Know More About their Products

Aldi supermarket is known to offer variousquality products(mostly) at a discounted price range. Currently, this nationwide supermarket chain offers two brands of dog food Heart to Tail and Pure Being.

These dog food brands are considered cheaper when compared to other alternatives. However, just like most affordable products, these dog foods have to make some compromises to be able to sell their items at such a price that are friendly to most pet owner's pockets.

Despite their cheap price, both brands still manage to provide the required nutrients to sustain our pet dogs needs.

What are the differences between dog food brands?

These brands differ in their composition. Heart to Tail offers recipes inclusive of grains while Pure Being markets itself as grain-free.

Many reviewers mention that they prefer the Pure Being recipes since these have a more desirable amount of whole food.

Despite its more expensive price for the consumer, the Pure Being grain free is looked at by more consumers as the better option when compared to the other products as the former is more complete and made with higher-quality building blocks.

Important Factors to Consider When Buying Dog Food

For dog lovers, picking which among the variousrange of dog foodsavailable on the market to buy can be quite confusing. To make it easier for you to select the right dog food for your pet, below are several things to consider and important things to avoid:

1. Your dog.Consider the age, breed, size, medical condition, allergies, and preference of your dogs before buying them any treats and food items.
2. Check the label.Read the nutritional composition of the dog food you are planning to buy. Make sure that despite its affordable price tag, it should contain an adequate amount of protein, fats, fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Double-check is your password in gaining confidence about your dog's diet. Reading the label lets you have peace of mind that youre not giving foods with unpleasant ingredients in them.
3. Listen to the experts.Veterinarians recommend dog food ingredients that are made of 20-25% protein and 5-8% natural fat or oil. (This is for regular dog food only. Some dogs may have higher requirements for protein or other nutrients.)

Whether picking grain-inclusive or grain-free food, animal protein should always come first (unless otherwise specified by your vet). Grains or legumes or other alternatives must be minimal only. And its always best if the main ingredient in your dogs food is specified and either fresh or meal form. Byproducts are usually substandard.

What We Think of the Brand

Aldi's Heart to Tail and Pure Being are some of the cheapest dog food lines available on the market.

As always with super inexpensive food, there must be compromises somewhere. With Aldi,what suffers is the quality.

If your goal is to provide your pup with complete nutrition, then Aldi dog foods do that. However, if you want better for your dogs, then there are better alternatives out there. With Aldi pet foods, you need to carefully read the labels.
