There is no right or wrong, and really the "best" food is what works for your dog. One dog may thrive on a certain food while another dogs terrible on it. Does this make the food good or bad? of course, the food is great for the dog who thrives on it and bad for the dog who does terrible on it. My personal opinion is that dogs are carnivores and a low quality dry dog food that contains a minimal amount of meat and is full of grains, fillers and additives is NOT a suitable diet for a canine. A suitable diet in the ideal world would be whole raw foods, but for the average dog and owner a high quality dry food will have to do. While this is not always strictly true, generally you get what you pay for with dog foods. Anything by these brands; Eagle Pack, Canidae, Timberwolf Organics, California Natural, Innova, Solid Gold and Chicken Soup For the Pet Lovers Soul are high quality foods. Even some of the brands you can get in places such as PetSmart (Natural Balance, Nutro, etc.) are ok. Avoid junk like Pedigree, Science Diet, Beneful, Ol'Roy, etc. Good luck!

At this time, all large chain stores are watching this immediately and the item or items are pulled immediately.

Stay away from stuff like Kibbles N' Bits... that's one of the worst because corn is the first ingredient. Best thing to do is talk to your vet, they will help you pick out a good choice.

Look some of the foods up. I get my dog food from petmsart and my dogs are real healthy. They have 3 or 4 good brands there and they also carry some of the other more popular brands you see in the grocery store too. I'm glad you want to know everything. Also be aware that having a dog is a life time commitment. You can never leave the dog at the pound, they put them to sleep. this can be more of a resposibility that even a child because dogs cannot live in most appartment buildings so you must be able to own your own home. There is a lot of details you must work out before you get a dog. they aren't just pets, they are family. do you have a petsmart or something similar near you? you can go on line too.

These premium brands actaully cost LESS per month to feed, as you are not paying for dog poop ( fillers) by the pound.

I have two dogs and i give them a mixture of dry/wet dog food and sometimes scraps. Be carefull what dog food you buy in the supermarket. You need a good quality food that has the nutrients dogs need. As i said, your vet will help you here. Dog food is not bad for goods.

My dog had normal dog food in the morning and then just eat what ever were having in the evening, meat, vegetables (with exceptions). They are scavengers and all through history ate whatever their masters ate. Mine lived a happy and health 19 years.

Try to avoid ones to with to much preservatives and other unnatural products. If you really do not wish to feed your dog , dog food then you can try home-made recipes and just put in some vitamins from your local vet ( never use human medication on animals).
