Choosing products for dogs isn’t simply a matter of comparing prices or claims on the packaging. From food and treats to dental chews, harnesses and parasite treatments, some factors can make a real difference to your dog’s day-to-day life.
A product that’s the wrong size, hasn’t been stored properly or isn’t suitable for your dog’s age can quickly become a waste of money. Here are the main pitfalls to avoid and the things to check before you place an order.
Claims such as ‘dental care’, ‘easier digestion’ or ‘long-lasting protection’ should always be considered in context. For food and treats, check whether the product is a complete feed or a complementary feed. A treat should never replace your dog’s main meal.
Claims about effectiveness also deserve a careful read. Any stated reduction in plaque or tartar from certain dental chews reflects information provided by the brand in its product literature. It doesn’t necessarily mean every dog will get the same results.
A dog harness should be chosen based on your dog’s chest measurement, not just their breed. If it’s too loose, it may twist during walks. If it’s too tight, it can restrict movement and put pressure on your dog.
The same care is needed when choosing treats and dental chews. Some are designed for small dogs, while others are for medium-sized or large dogs. Always follow the weight range shown on the packaging.
Once opened, wet dog food generally needs to be kept in the fridge and used within the stated time. Dry food, treats and chews should be stored in a dry place, in packaging that’s been properly resealed.
For a flea and tick collar for dogs, check the directions for use, active ingredients, minimum age and weight range. Never use a parasite treatment outside the conditions specified on its label.
For dog food, check whether it’s suitable for a puppy, adult or senior dog. The Edgard & Cooper wet food featured in this selection is intended for adult dogs. If you’re changing your dog’s diet, introduce the new food gradually.
Treats should make up an appropriate part of your dog’s daily food allowance. Some product information recommends reducing the main meal to avoid giving your dog too many calories. Always make sure fresh water is available.
Compare the ingredients list, moisture content, fat content and proportion of protein. For treats, also check the quantity per pack and the recommended daily amount.
Products such as probiotics for dogs should be used in accordance with the instructions. FortiFlora, for example, comes in individual sachets to sprinkle over food. If your dog has ongoing digestive problems, is taking antibiotics or is finding a change of diet difficult, ask your vet for advice.

We’ve put together a comprehensive, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and European safety regulations.
Treats shouldn’t replace a complete meal. Follow the recommended amount on the pack and, if necessary, reduce the amount of your dog’s main food. If your dog is overweight, not very active or on a special diet, ask your vet for advice.
Most product information recommends keeping wet food in the fridge after opening and using it within two to three days. Serve it at room temperature and use a sealed container to help prevent it from drying out or developing odours.
The harness should stay in place without pressing on your dog’s chest. You should be able to fit about two fingers between the straps and your dog’s body. Check the fit after a few minutes of walking, then inspect the buckles and stitching regularly.
