What the results of the
True BLUE Test mean.

The realization that many of the big name brands don’t use real meat as the first ingredient, or that they include things like chicken by-product meal, is probably very eye-opening for you.

It also may be surprising that most of these brands don’t include some ingredients that address the particular needs of large breed dogs, like Glucosamine and Chondroitin which support joint health. And not all brands offer large breed formulas for puppies, adults, and senior dogs.

With so many pet foods out there, choosing the right food for your dog isn’t easy—the True BLUE Test helps you make a better, informed decision.
