The Second-Best Food For Your Dog

If you can't feed real homemade dog food...

At least feed a commercial dog food brand that meets ALL SIX of these requirements:

All the ingredients have PASSED USDA INSPECTION. Most dog food brands will fail this requirement and should not be fed.
The FIRST TWO INGREDIENTS are pure meat. Most dog food brands will fail this requirement and should not be fed.
Contains NO corn or soybeans, which are difficult for dogs to digest and cause skin allergies in many dogs.
Contains NO "by-products" or "animal digest" whatsoever.
Contains NO artificial preservatives (BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin).
Contains NO "fillers" that don't sound like real food you would eat yourself. (Examples include bizarre ingredients like beet pulp, rice flour, and brewer's rice.)

Sadly, you'll find very few commercial dog food brands that meet all those criteria. In fact, I recommend only ONE commercial dog food brand. It contains:

Turkey
Chicken
Chicken Meal
Ground Barley
Ground Brown Rice
Whole Potatoes
Ground White Rice
Chicken Fat
Herring

Apples
Carrots
Cottage Cheese
Sunflower Oil
Alfalfa Sprouts
Egg
Garlic
Probiotics for digestion (Lactobacillus Acidophilus)

Doesn't that sound like something you could eat yourself?

EVERY commercial dog food brand -- even the one I recommend -- lacks variety and freshness.

It's tempting to buy a bag or can of "good" dog food and pour it into your dog's bowl and think you're feeding him well.

Sorry. You're not.

Even a "good" dog food brand isn't the same as real, fresh food. It's heavily processed and it lacks variety. Even NUTRITIOUS Insta-meals are still Insta-meals. Yuck.

So if you absolutely MUST feed a commercial dog food, at least ADD some fresh foods. If you'd like more guidance on what to add to your dog's food, I'm happy to help!
