There are so many kinds of dog foods on the pet food market, and some people may have a difficult time selecting the right food. We offer the following suggestions in choosing the right dog food for your beloved dog.
We do not make food products that we cannot eat ourselves.
Foods produced for people, are usually protected by numerous laws for: ingredients, manufacturing process, food additives, and food labeling system to ensure safety for our health at some level. However, laws for "animal foods", such as "pet foods" or "feedstuff" given to domestic dogs, cats, and farm animals in Japan are virtually nonexistent. Accordingly, it is not a violation of law to use various kinds of synthetic chemical additives in animal foods like: antioxidants, preservatives, artificial colors, and humectants. Some pet food manufacturers even use cancer causing and harmful additives, which are never used in our own foods, without fear of punishment because it's not against the law in Japan. Moreover, there is no law which requires manufacturers to disclose the use of harmful substances in their pet food products. That means consumers may buy such dangerous foods, because there is no caution warning on the label to tell them of the products dangers and how they may be putting their dog's life at risk.
Besides additives, there are also cases when the ingredients are already too deteriorated for human consumption. Laws state that meat from dead or near-dead animals with sickness should not be sold for people, but should be discarded or used for animals. Then it's no wonder, that there are actually many occurrences of pet food products that contain undesirable ingredients.
At Bigwood, we always ensure our dog food products to the level that "people could also safely eat". Bigwood manufactures dog foods with the same ingredients for people. In addition, no preservatives or antioxidants are used for our dog food products. We manufacture our dog food products based on the above slogans.
We provide dog foods made from natural and safe ingredients.
Can ingredients products designed for human consumption also be used for animals? Bigwood considers it an important point that our dog food be derived from the most naturally occurring ingredients. Our idea is that nutrients are absorbed into the body at a natural balance with the real minerals and vitamins from natural ingredients, and not from chemically synthesized substances, vitamins, and minerals.
We consider high quality food to be carefully chosen and manufactured without the dependence of chemical fertilizers, chemosynthetic feedstuffs, and drugs such as hormonal agents and antibiotics. Bigwood meals are made from carefully selected ingredients for people with no pesticides or drugs. Minerals and vitamins are ingested to the body at a natural balance with balanced meals made from natural and safe ingredients. We manufacture our dog food products based on the above slogans.。
The food should be given while it is fresh.
It is always best to eat fresh food.
Fresh food made by mother was always delicious and very nutritious.
Why can't we give the same high quality nutrition to our beloved dogs?
Even with a processed food, we want to make sure that the food is fresh.
And we must at least check the manufacturing date and expiration date of the food. We can assume that
some kind of antioxidant or preservative may be used if the expiration date of the food is far ahead.

or antioxidants are used in our dog foods, we ship them expeditiously, so your dogs can enjoy the fresh taste of our high quality food.
