Wysong Dog Food Review 2026: Recalls, Pros & Cons

We give Wysong dog Food a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

• Chicken: Chicken is one of the more affordable meats with numerous health benefits for dogs. It builds lean muscle mass and provides omega-6 fatty acids that help maintain healthy skin and shiny coats. It is also high in essential amino acids and glucosamine, which promote joint health.
• Turkey: Turkey is a nutritious protein found in dog food that helps build muscle. Furthermore, turkey-based pet foods may provide an alternative option for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies to beef or chicken-based recipes. Some but not all dogs that are allergic to chicken are also allergic to turkey.
• Beef: Beef is another great protein source for dogs and is high in iron, zinc, selenium, and vitamins B12, B3, and B6. Despite being high in fat, red meat is not known to cause arteriosclerosis in dogs as it does in humans.
• Salmon: As a cooked product, fish is high in protein, low in saturated fat, and easily digestible. Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids with multiple health benefits. Raw salmon can cause poisoning in dogs, where it causes hemorrhaging in the tissue of the small intestine and eventually invades the entire body.
• Rabbit: Rabbit meat contains fewer calories than many other meat protein sources. It includes few saturated fats but has several essential amino acids, which help build muscle and boost the dog's immune system. Rabbit meat is high in vitamin B12, which supports a healthy nervous system, digestion, and brain function. Rabbit meat needs to be from a reliable source and well cooked as it can often carry parasites such as tapeworms.
• Duck: Duck is high in iron and provides dogs with a lean, easy-to-digest protein source. Duck is rich in amino acids, which aid in developing strong muscles. Because some dogs are allergic to chicken or beef in dog food, switching to a food containing a novel protein, such as duck, may help alleviate gastrointestinal upset or skin irritation.

• Meat Meal: Meat meal is an excellent source of natural, protein building blocks, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Because meat meal contains only about 5%–7% water, it is far more concentrated than fresh meat (which contains about 70% water).
• Brown rice: Brown rice is a source of energy and fiber. Fiber is not a required nutrient for dogs, but it is included in most dog foods because it keeps your dog full (thus preventing obesity and assisting with weight loss), maintains colon health, aids digestion, and helps diabetic dogs control blood sugar levels. Grains are a controversial ingredient but they contain many health benefits to dogs, and it's best to check with your vet before serving a grain-free diet.
• Flaxseed: Flaxseeds are packed with protein and fiber. Fiber is essential for a dog's digestive health, while protein provides energy and helps to maintain a strong immune system.
• Sweet Potato: Sweet potatoes are high in vitamins B, C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron. Orange vegetables contain beta-carotene, which is a precursor for vitamin A and an antioxidant that boosts immunity.
• Peas: Green peas are high in essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber and are high in vitamins such as A, B, C, and K. Vitamin K promotes bone health, increases energy levels in dogs, and is easy on the digestive system. High-fiber foods can also aid in the maintenance of a healthy weight and the reduction of cholesterol in dogs. Peas are a controversial ingredient in some dog foods as they have been used to increase the protein content, so they should not be listed in the first 4-5 ingredients. Peas and other legumes are currently investigated for their potential link to the development of dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs fed with grain-free legume-inclusive diets.
• Chia Seeds: Chia seeds contain a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids and are high in antioxidants, B vitamins, phosphorus, protein, and zinc. They also contain fiber, which aids in digestion and weight loss. Because chia seeds are high in fiber and fatty acids, they can cause gastrointestinal upset in some dogs, especially dogs with sensitive stomachs.
• Coconut Oil: Coconut oil can boost energy, improve skin and coat, aid digestion, and reduce allergic reactions. It is a controversial ingredient since some veterinarians are not convinced that coconut oil is beneficial to dogs at all. Some dogs may have an allergic reaction, while others can have bad diarrhea.
• Organic Guar gum: Guar gum acts as a binding or thickening agent and is important in canned dog food because it prevents the ingredients from separating.  Thickeners like guar gum are almost always used in conjunction with gelling agents; some of which are somewhat controversial.

• Dog food advisor: “Wysong Original Diets is a grain-inclusive dry dog food using a significant amount of named meat meals as its dominant source of animal protein, thus earning the brand 5 stars.”
• Watchdog labs: “This food has well-balanced amounts of protein, fat, and carbs. Diets that are high in protein and fat, with moderate to low carbs, are ideal for most dogs.”
