Whats the "best" dry dog food?

We feed Taste of the Wild, good stuff and our dog loves it.

There are no right and wrong foods for your dog. If your dog does amazing on purina or pedigree, then there is no harm in feeding it. My dog had very bad allergies so she is on a low ingredient lamb food. She does horrible on grocery store food.

Taste of the wild, wellness core, blue buffalo, solid gold, and many others make excellent foods for people on a budget(like myself).

Right now the food my dog does best on is diamond lamb and rice. It is 40lbs for $39.99, whereas other foods of the same quality are 20-30lbs for over $60, which is painful haha.

I was feeding wellness core for a while, but my dog did not like it. Plus, it smells disgusting!

The Merrick looks good for the price but I think I would have to order it and with shipping that would not be worth it.
I will check out these dog foods in more depth later.
Evo looks great but it is crazy expensive! I see why you buy it when on sale lol
thanks guys!

I get Merrick from my local Petco. If you have one near you they should be able to order it and then they are paying for shipping and not you!

I give Orijin to my Lab he Just Love It always starts Jumping when he sees it Beside orijin I have also Heard Good Things About EVO

We are feeding a mix of Blue Buffalo and a raw dinner 3-4x a week. I don't think it's that expensive and the raw keeps their teeth so clean!

You may want to check out Dog Food Advisor for some additional info & reviews.

If I was ever in a position where I couldn't feed raw (what a terrible thought), Evo & Orijen would be at the top of my list. :) I disagree with the "there are no right or wrong foods for your dog" idea. While a dog may "do okay" on a lesser-quality food for some time, that doesn't mean it is providing a foundation for longevity and lifetime health.

I have an Australian Shepherd and I started out feeding Nutro. I then tried Purina One, then went back to Nutro, and back to Purina One, and now Science Diet. Science Diet seems to be the best so far. He loves it! He doesn't poop as much, and his coat is looking great. I also supplement raw and treats here and there.
