The best brand of dog food is the one with the highest grade natural ingredients in it. Pet food, specifically dog food, is not controlled by the same regulations as food for human consumption. For example, animal products and by-products used for pet consumption don't have to be particularly healthy specimens. Typically, the animal products and by-products that are NOT suitable for human consumption are then used in pet foods. Pet foods also often contain things like feet and beaks. That's not necessarily a problem, but if an animal that has cancer or some other ailment is slaughtered, processed and then fed to your pet, that probably constitutes a problem. Pet food manufacturers are being held more accountable of late, and consumers are paying more attention to what is actually in their pet's food. Read the labels, do some research. Don't just trust the name; check it out. In the end, it will pay off with lower vet bills and a longer and happier life for your pet.

Our vet recommended that we put our puppy on Purina One puppy food, but he's so picky, he won't eat it. We have to feed him Cesar's dog food in the little container. That's all he likes.
