(see all)Our Recommendation
The ingredients in this formula are impressive right from the start. When meat is the first ingredient, you should automatically take note because that means that you arent paying for your dog to eat cheap herbicide-laden corn.
Health Extension is not a brand a lot of pet parents have heard of but they seem to be trying to create a balanced grain-free dog food at a mid-rangeprice point. I like that they include lots of fruits and veggies in the mix. While there are some potatoes in there which some consider cheap filler, potatoes are fairly far down the list of ingredients.
- No artificial colors or flavors.
- No corn, wheat, or soy.
- Probiotics and pumpkin help with digestion which makes this dog food more suitable for even sensitive dogs or those that have allergies.
- Good source of Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids.
- No by-products or rendered fats.
- Immune system boosting apple cider vinegar.
- Reasonably priced for a grain-free formula.
- Fish oil can help dogs that have skin issues and sensitivities.

Health Extension provides a very complex and well thought out blend of meat, fruit, vegetables, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and dietary supplements from natural sources like kelp and apple cider vinegar. ScoutKnowsrecommends this formula to pet parents that want an affordable grain-free dog food that is fish based rather than the typical chicken or beef.
