What exactly is human-grade dog food?

Published: Mon, 07/17/23

Hello,

The thought of eating dog food is not a pleasant one. For people that is — dogs dream about it all day.

However, there’s a noticeable rise in the number of dog foods labeled “human-grade”. Indeed, it’s a badge of pride and a selling point for these brands.

But what does “human-grade” mean when it comes to dog food? Does it mean it’s something we’d like to eat? (Answer: no.)

We spoke to Brandon Stapleton, a DVM and head veterinarian for 5-star-rated The Farmer's Dog and put to him some questions about human-grade dog food.
