A list of good and bad dog foods

[Mandy Slinkard]

This is just a short list of the foods out there, if these do not work for your dog there will be a different food to try. Please do your research on the food before you get it, some brands claim to be grain free but if you read the labels you will find grain in it.

 With allergy dogs the ingredient or ingredients they are allergic to cannot be in the food at all. The most common allergies are corn,wheat,soy,rice,and chicken. That's right dogs are commonly allergic to the protein chicken.

These are completely grain free

1. Taste of the Wild

2 Zignature

3. Fromm

These have good grains, no wheat, corn, or soy

1. Canidae ( they make huge bags of food)

2. Fromm (they have three different lines of food)

Controversial foods

Theses are foods that I personally would not trust but some people and vets still do.

1.  Science Diet, the reasone this is controversial is because it has corn and wheat in it. Dogs have a hard time digesting corn and wheat and frenchies are prone to food allergies.

DO NOT GET

These foods have either been recalled a lot or are full of corn, wheat, and soy.

1. Inovva

2. California Natural

3. Nutro

4. Health Wise

When I was at the store one day, I met a woman who was looking for dog foods without yeast in them since her dog was allergic to it.  Yeast is used to supplement Vit B, so it is in nearly all commercial foods.  She said that with her schedule, cooking all of her dog's food from scratch was simply too time-consuming.  Have you ever heard of a yeast-free commercial kibble?

Is Wellness really a controversial food?  It seems that so many people like it!

[Mandy Slinkard]

If she doesn't want to cook then buy Small Batch which is raw food would be her best bet. It's extremely healthy grain free and yeast free.

As for Wellness yes it is because it has been recalled many times and also has been bought out by larger company. This means that they most likely changed their formula but is not required by law to tell us consumers about it.

I hadn't known that about Wellness.  I have a few friends I want to share that with!

Small batch sounds good, but I don't think I have ever seen it.  It is available at pet stores?

[Mandy Slinkard]

I'm really glad you're going to share it with them.

It really depends on the store. Where I live most pet stores have it but not all of the small ones do.
