Is VēRUS adult maintenance lamb dog food truly healthy for my pet?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 50 lbs

Hi, I got this dog food for my dog and I was wondering if it is actually healthy for him or if it is just designed to appeal to humans. It is VēRUS adult maintenance lamb meal, oat, and brown rice formula.

It's just designed to appear to humans. Brands of food that I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, and Iams (Eukanuba). I recommend these brands because they run their own food trials, meet AAFCO feeding standards, and have veterinary nutritionists on staff. They are the only four brands that have these things. I feed my dog Iams and she loves it.
