AZMIRA DOG FOOD REVIEW

Azmira’s dog food formulas are available as dry and canned varieties. Currently, there are two different classifications for Azmira formulas: Classic and Lifestyle. Azmira’s unique dog food formulas are marketed as being able to reduce the amount of waste that a dog passes through their body. They also claim to have detoxifying effects, which is said to promote overall good pet health. Azmira relies a lot on the homeopathic effects of certain herbs and other ingredients to keep dogs in good condition, and uses a similar philosophy with their dog food formulas. Azmira’s dog food formulas are free of rice protein concentrate and wheat gluten.

AZMIRA CUSTOMER RATINGS

Many of the reviews of Azmira brand dog food formulas are positive. Some dog owners cited the fact that it doesn’t contain corn as a positive factor. A few dog owners said that the ingredients are high quality, and can be easily digested by their dogs.

However, some dog owners said that the inclusion of sorghum (a grain) among the first five ingredients was the main negative aspect of Azmira’s dog food formulas. Sorghum is a grain with a low amount of digestibility, and is regarded as a filler ingredient by many pet nutritional experts. Another filler that received negative reviews from customers in Azmira formulas was apple pomace, since this is the dried remains of juiced apples. Generally, Azmira is regarded by many dog owners as being too grain-heavy for most dogs, without enough protein sources to supplement the nutritional needs of many canines.
