Health Extension Dog Food

Brief Overview

Health Extension Pet Care makes dry and canned dog food, cat food, dog treats, vitamins and supplements, dog shampoos and conditioners, and other pet products. The company was formerly known as Vets Choice but changed the name in 2015. They have been in business since the 1960s and have been family-owned for three generations. The company is a recipient of the 2016 Pet Business Industry Recognition Award. They are a member of the Pet Sustainability Coalition and their foods have been endorsed by the American Canine Association.

Who Manufactures Health Extension Dog Food?

According to Petfoodindustry.com, Health Extension’s foods are made in two facilities in New York and New Jersey. The New York facility at Deer Park may make their dry foods. Simmons has a cannery in New Jersey but there may be other pet food canneries in the state so that’s only a guess.

As you can see, all of the Health Extension kibbles have named meat protein as the first ingredient. In some cases they have meat protein as the first two or even three ingredients. Many of the foods use organic meat proteins which will please many dog lovers. All of their meats come from the United States with the exception of lamb which is raised in New Zealand. The protein levels in the foods are moderate (Health Extension describes them as “sensible”). Crude protein levels in the foods range from 24 to 27 percent. With the exception of their lite dog food (9 percent fat per the guaranteed analysis), the foods have crude fat percentages between 14 and 18 percent which is moderate for most premium dog foods. Crude minimum fiber percentages vary between 4-5 percent.

All of the Health Extension kibbles have the following:

• No By-Products
• No Rendered Animal Fats
• No Corn
• No Gluten
• No Soy
• No Artificial Preservatives
• No Wheat
• No BHT

We genuinely appreciate the fact that Health Extension provides such precise information on their web site about their foods. For example, not only do they provide AAFCO statements, but they also indicate that their 95 percent canned foods are for supplemental feeding only. Many dog food companies do not do this which causes confusion for some dog lovers about whether or not they can feed the food as a complete meal. Kudos to Health Extension for providing this information, along with calorie information and some other info we love to see but don’t always find on pet food web sites.

As you can see from looking at Health Extension’s canned foods, they have a wide variety of stews, entrees, and meats for supplementing your dog’s diet. Many of the foods have meat as the first ingredient, with the exception of the vegetarian canned food; and the stews which have broth as the first ingredient. Crude protein percentage for the canned foods (with the exception of the 95 percent meat foods) is 8-10 percent. The 95 percent meat foods have crude protein percentages ranging from 10-12 percent. The vegetarian food has 7 percent crude protein. Fat percentages for most of the canned foods range from 4.5 to 6 percent crude fat. The 95 percent meat foods have fat percentages ranging from 6-8 percent. The vegetarian food has 2 percent crude fat. Leaving aside the vegetarian food, these percentages are comparable to other good quality canned super premium dog foods and higher than some.

Just a word about the vegetarian entree for dogs. While we appreciate the fact that some dogs may need a vegetarian food if they have problems eating meat proteins, we do not recommend vegetarian dog foods in general. Health Extension’s vegetarian entree is AAFCO-approved for growth and maintenance but if you check the nutrient percentages for the food you will see that they are not the same as the percentages for the brand’s other canned foods. If your dog can eat other foods that have meat protein, we recommend that you feed them.

From everything we see here in the kibbles and canned foods, the Health Extension foods look very good. We’ll look more closely at one of the foods below in our review.

Health Extension Little Bites Dog Food Review

Health Extension Little Bites dog food is one of the company’s top selling foods on Chewy.com and other sites so we thought it would be a good food to review.

According to Health Extension, Little Bites has been specifically created for Toy and small breed puppies and dogs. As far as we can determine from the nutritional information on the web site, the ingredients and nutrient percentages for this food appear to be the same as Health Extension Original dog food but the food has smaller kibble pieces which make it easier for puppies and small dogs to eat. The food contains no by-products, no rendered animal fats, no corn, wheat, glutens, or soy; no artificial preservatives, added sugar, artificial flavors, colors, or dyes; and no BHT or ethoxyquin. It’s available in several bag sizes: 4 lbs, 10lbs, 18lbs, and 35lbs.

The first five ingredients in this food are: Organic Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Ground Brown Rice, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Ascorbic Acid), and Lamb Meal. (Health Extension provides a nice Ingredient Index for customers to check on ingredients.) According to the company, their deboned chicken is the same chicken that people eat. Although they mention that it has no added growth hormones or steroids, poultry raised in the United States has not been raised with hormones since the 1950s so this is a little misleading – though many pet food companies and even companies that sell poultry for human consumption make this same claim. And steroids are a kind of hormone, so it’s not really necessary to repeat the term.

Putting that issue aside, organic deboned chicken is a very nice ingredient. It’s a whole meat so it will contain more moisture than a meat meal. Once the moisture is removed, this ingredient might fall lower in the list. But the second ingredient in the food is chicken meal. This is a concentrated form of chicken that has had most of the moisture and fat removed. Chicken meal typically contains about 65 percent protein and 12 percent fat. Chicken is a good source of vitamin B6, niacin, and phosphorus.

The third ingredient in the food is ground brown rice. Brown rice is considered to be slightly more nutritious than white rice. Brown rice has the inedible outer hull removed; white rice is the same grain with the hull, bran layer and cereal germ removed. Brown rice is rich in thiamine, calcium, magnesium, fiber, and potassium. It has anti-oxidants and fiber. It also releases sugar into the bloodstream slowly so your dog won’t experience spikes in his blood sugar levels.

The fourth ingredient is chicken fat. While you might think twice before adding chicken fat to your own meals, chicken fat is a good ingredient in dog food. It’s a named fat so you know the source. It’s also an animal source of fat (as opposed to corn oil or vegetable oil which are plant sources of f which is good for dogs. And it’s high in linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid which is considered to be good for a dog’s skin and coat.

The fifth ingredient is lamb meal. It’s not unusual to find a second kind of meat protein in a dog food but you do need to be aware of its presence in case your dog has any difficulties with other proteins. Most dogs can eat lamb without any problems but it’s always a good idea to read the ingredients on the label just to make sure you and your dog won’t be surprised. Lamb and lamb meal are a good source of protein that most dogs enjoy. It’s flavorful and it has a different amino acid profile from chicken and some other common meat proteins. According to Health Extension, their lamb and lamb meal comes from free-range Australian and New Zealand lamb sources. It is hormone and antibiotic-free.

Other ingredients of interest in the food include menhaden fish meal. Menhaden is a common fish off the coasts of the United States. It’s used as a source of fish oil and it’s a major source of omega-3 fatty acids for neutraceutical companies. Most people don’t eat them today (though Native Americans fished for them), but the meal is often used in dog foods. Menhaden fish meal is a good source of concentrated protein and fatty acids. The food also contains fish oil as a source of DHA. DHA is deocosahexaenoic acid – a fatty acid that is known for helping with brain development in puppies and perhaps playing other roles in intelligence. The food also has glucosamine and chondroitin which are known as supplements to help inflammation associated with arthritis and joint mobility. Dried beet pulp is a fiber and prebiotic. Brewers dried yeast is an excellent source of B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals. It should not be confused with Brewers rice.

The food also contains lots of fermentation products, otherwise known as probiotics, which aid in digestion. The food uses polysaccharide complexes to provide minerals. These are synthesized ingredients that are supposed to improve the bioavailability of the minerals the same way chelated minerals do.

The food also contains organic apple cider vinegar. This is an ancient antibacterial and anti-fungal that helps normalize the dog’s pH balance. It’s suppose to boost the immune system. Flaxseed is a source of omega-3 but it’s a plant source so dogs can’t utilize the omega-3 fatty acids to any great extent. However, flaxseed is a good source of dietary fiber and it provides antioxidants. It’s also a plant-based source of protein, with 12 percent protein, 66 percent fat, and 22 percent carbohydrates. It’s also a big source of omega-6 fatty acids.

Finally, the food has barley malt in it. It’s high in vitamin B12 – an appetite stimulant. It’s also high in calcium. It’s not used in too many dog foods but it seems to be used as a flavor enhancer. Nutro also uses it.

Overall, the ingredients in this food look very good and we don’t see anything to cause concern.

Final Thoughts

From everything we’ve seen about the Health Extension foods, both kibble and cans, we like them very much. Many of the kibbles are grain free but you can also choose foods that contain some brown rice, pearled barley, or oatmeal if you prefer. The grain free kibbles use a variety of carbohydrates such as chickpeas, lentils, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. If you don’t like one ingredient, you can find a food that probably has an ingredient you will like. The foods also come in a good selection of meat proteins. The same is true with the canned foods. We also like the fact that there are few, if any, filler ingredients in the food, by anyone’s definition. None of the foods appear to have any ingredients to cause concern (unless you want to be super picky and worry about guar gum in canned foods – which we don’t). Highly recommended.
