There are many harmful and even bad ingredients that should be avoided no matter what. I hope by reading this you will figure out how to better pick the best dog food and how to spot the meals that you should avoid. The following are some choices you can consider.
Canned and Dry Dog Foods

This means, no by-products, as they will surely mean that you are purchasing a low quality item. The main ingredient should consist of specific meats as the main ingredient and not unspecified meats. Any whole meats such as chicken, hamburger, salmon and the like are all great ingredients.
Probiotics and Nutritional Supplements
While probiotics and nutritional supplements are added to most dog diets, the more reputable and higher end manufacturer’s give definite information to every single supplement, and how, the supplement will be beneficial to your dog. Avoid the nasty additives and supplements that are used. Any preservative used, should be normal and healthy and not some of the deplorable chemical additions. Some additives such as ascorbic acid, vitamin C and vitamin E, are worthy ingredients.
Raw Dog Food
Ensure the meat is fresh to avoid any possible food poisoning. You may even want to toss in a raw bone occasionally so long as it is not cooked. When it is cooked, it becomes brittle and splinters can cause harm to your dog.
Homemade Dog Food
While it is cheaper than industrially manufactured products, you can tailor a diet that fulfills every one of your dog’s nutritional needs, while giving him a variety of fresh made wholesome meals he can anticipate every day. You can see to it that his meals are chemically and filler free.
