DingoNatura: Opinions
Without a doubt, DingoNatura is one of the brands with the best score on the net, since its average on Amazon is 4, 9/5 stars (with verified purchase), while in Google it is around 4, 6/5 stars. In any case, in general, guardians perceive this dog food brand as a proximity, quality product that pleases their dogs and/or cats. In most cases they repeat the purchase of the same product or acquire another of the same brand.
We will review the composition of dog food, assessing the ingredients and percentages according to the analysis, but we will also explain the benefits or the price range. All this will be contrasted by the FEDIAF Nutrition Guides and the information shared in "Nutritional adequacy of food" by María Villagrasa.
I think Natura Diet: Original
The first Natura Diet feed that we are going to mention is the Original range, a classic that continues to be a success in terms of sales are concerned. It is made up of the following products:
- Natura Diet Starter
- Natura Diet Junior
- Natura Diet Junior Mini
- Natura Diet Junior Large Breed
- Natura Diet Daily Food
- Natura Diet Daily Food Mini
- Natura Diet Food Maxi
- Natura Diet Lamb & Rice
- Natura Diet Lamb & Rice Mini
- Natura Diet Fish & Rice
- Natura Diet Ibérico & Rice
- Natura Diet 4,800
- Natura Diet +7
The approximate price of the 500 g bag of Natura Diet Original is around €5 for a 3 kg bag around €20 and the 12 kg one is around €50.
We note that the croquettes are formulated according to the stage and weight of the animal, in some cases also taking into account thetype of food that the tutor wants to offer, such as chicken, fish or lamb. In this way, the croquettes are fully prepared taking into account the different needs that an individual may have, whether due to size, condition, caloric need or preferred food.
Next we are going to evaluate one of the most consumed products, the Natura Diet Daily Food, which guarantees eye he alth, he althy joints, digestibility, delay of aging, prevention of senile disorders, proper weight, good intestinal he alth, good coat and skin he alth, immune reinforcement, dental he alth and optimal muscle activity. It is also hypoallergenic. Let's take a closer look at the product:
The type of food and its percentage are clearly indicated. We note that the chicken meat is dehydrated, a very positive thing, since it means that it contains the exact amount indicated. On the contrary, when the product is fresh, it tends to lose some weight during the cooking process. Likewise, just because it's dehydrated doesn't mean it's of poorer quality.
The next food is rice, a higher quality product than wheat, present in many commercial feeds. Some interesting foods on the list are salmon oil, brewer's yeast, krill extract, and probiotics. The percentage of protein is ideal for a he althy adult dog, however, the contribution of oils and fats is practically half of what is recommended
Pienso Natura Diet: Grain Free
The next Natura Diet feed that we are going to mention is the Grain Free range, which has become enormously popular since its launch. It is made up of the following products:
- Natura Diet Baby Natural Recipe
- Natura Diet Salmon & Coconut Natural Recipe
- Natura Diet Chicken & Vegs Natural Recipe
The price of a 3 kg bag of Natura Diet Grain Free is around €20, while the price of a 12 kg Natura Diet Grain Free bag costs around €70 approximately.
We see that are not formulated according to weight or age, but are generic, so the size of the croquettes will be the same for a small-sized dog as for a giant-sized one. We understand, however, that the specific feed for puppies will have a smaller size and designed for small dogs.
We will evaluate the composition and analysis of the product Salmon & Coconut Natural Recipe, a hypoallergenic feed, ideal for intestinal he alth, reinforcement immunity, high digestibility, and he althy hair and skin. Let's take a closer look at the product:
The type of food and its percentage are clearly indicated. The order warns us that the amount of fish is slightly higher than the next most abundant food, the potato. Even so the contribution of crude protein is considered adequate We also see some very interesting products classified as "superfood": coconut oil, salmon oil, spirulina, probiotics, krill extract or bone broth among others. In any case, we consider that the fat intake is slightly lower than recommended
I think Natura Diet: Speci alties
We finished evaluating the Natura Diet feed with its range of speci alties, specially formulated for certain he alth problems. It is made up of the following products:
- Natura Diet Light -10% Calories
- Natura Diet Reduced -20 Calories
- Natura Diet Odontic
The price of a 500-gram bag of Natura Diet Speci alties feed is around €5, for a 3-kg bag around €20 and the 12 kg bag between €50 and €60 approximately.
As in the previous case, we see that are not formulated according to the weight or age of the individual, which means that all kibble are the same size, even though they should be offered to a toy dog than to a giant dog. That can be inconvenient.
We will evaluate the composition and analysis of the product Reduced -20 Calories, a feed formulated specifically for animals that are overweight. We note that it is suitable for eye he alth, for he althy joints, that it is highly digestible, that it delays aging or that it is hypoallergenic, among other important details. Let's take a closer look at the product:
We note that the first ingredient is dehydrated turkey, a very suitable product for overweight dogs due to its low fat content Likewise, it is also positive that the turkey is dehydrated, which guarantees that the percentage will not vary. Continuing, we find brown rice, a much more advisable product than white rice, since carbohydrates are released more slowly and help generate more energy, while providing fiber.
It also has he althy fats, such as duck oil, salmon oil or whole egg. Other interesting products are spirulina, beetroot or krill extract. In general, the percentages of protein, fat and fiber are adequate for an overweight dog.
Natura Diet: Opinions and conclusion
In general, after reviewing the composition and analysis of the Natura Diet feed in several of its dog foods, we consider it to be a quality product, both for the ingredients and its ecological commitment. Likewise, its composition and analytics are totally correct, despite some small details mentioned. Although there are products that may be of superior quality on the market, without a doubt Natura Diet exceeds the generic average that we can find.
To choose the ideal product, we recommend analyzing the needs of our dog, his condition and state of he alth, only then will we find the that best suits our best friend. We will follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer regarding the dosage table mentioned on the packaging and on the web or any other relevant detail. In case of doubt, we will always consult our trusted veterinarian.
Ah, and to finish, we leave you contrasting opinions that we have found on the net:
