What is the best dog food for your dog?
Thanks!


Answer
Here is a site that will show you which dog foods are the best and the worst. I suggest that you get any one of the dog foods that are top rated.

Most of grocery store dog food formulas, like IAMS, Pedigree, Science Diet, Purina,and etc contain "meat and bone meal" which has been known to contain dead dogs and cats that were euthanized in animal shelters. Their bodies are picked up and bought by the truck load by "rendering plants" , that also pick up road kill, dead live stock, and etc. They are shredded, and boiled. They skim off the fat on the top of the "soup" and collected it and sell it to pet food companies as "animal fat", the rest of the animals' remains are crushed up, dried and sold to dog and cat food companies as meat and bone meal.
You can read more about it here.

Here is an article where the owner of a rendering plant talks about it. He says that cremating the dead shelter animals would cause pollution, and that rendering them is good.

What is the best dog food for large breed, I mean high quality, that focuses on joints, etc.?

Answer
Eagle Pack Holistic Select makes a food specially formulated for large beed puppies and adults. Eagle Pack's "Holistic" line are all super premium foods. Stay away from the regular Eagle pack.

Innova also makes a food for large breed dogs as well.

What is the best dog food for a coon hound (very active)?
Have a red tick and i was wondering what is a great dog food for her it can be expensive


Answer
ORIJEN, if you're going for kibble. I suggest that too.

Great ingredients, table quality human grade meats, loads of information on their site.

Also you can see Innova, nature's variety, Merricks, solid gold, ..

Not all dogs can process all foods, even if it's great food. Ask your local supplier if they'll give you a couple day's worth just to see if your dog A) likes it B) does fine on it, digestion wise. Our local boutique will do that for free.


Would it hurt my dog if all he ate was cat food. He just hates eating his dog food, no matter what kind i buy

Answer
Cat food is 'cat food'

and dog food is 'dog food'

Your dog will NOT get the diet he NEEDS from this.
You need to find a dog food diet he likes..Try mixing a dog wet mix with dry. Cause its not healthy to eat cat food all long life..


Whats the best dog food brand for my Australian Shepherd puppy?
Out of theses;

Innova
Merrick
Canidae
Blue Buffalo
Chicken soup for the puppy lovers soul
Kibble
Wellness
Evo
Timberwolf organics
Taste of the Wild
Natures Variety
Nutro Natural Choice
Solid Gold Eagle pack
California Natural
Artemis


Answer
Number 1. Innova, EVO,
California Natural (if you dog has skin or stomach sensitivities)

Then Wellness, and Wellness Core

I noticed you don't have Orijen on here, that is a really good food! I would put that with EVO!

Nutro, Artemis, Blue Buffalo and Taste of the wild I would avoid.

Only get Eagle Pack if it is Eagle Pack Holistic.

Canidae if you are on a budget.

EDIT: Whatever you do avoid the first response to get Science Diet or Purina Proplan...bad choice.
