Some people have said that it is very important to feed dog food, that is not entirely true. You can balance your dogs diet by feeding either raw or home cooked ingredients just fine. If you do sufficient research, understand what sources provide what necessary nutrients then there is no problem.
Do some research, if you want to feed a dog food then you can but you should not be made to feel that dog food is necessary.
With all this commercially prepared food we will all lose the knowledge in how to construct healthy diets from raw materials, something our forefathers managed for years. Do we feel the need to feed ourselves 'human kibble'? No we make a balanced diet out of ingredients. You can do the same for your dog and they will likely be much healthier than if they were eating kibble because even good quality kibble is not in a natural form for dogs.
I'd advise you to do your own research about different feeding programs, raw (or BARF (biologically appropriate raw food)), homecooked and dog foods. Decide what is best for your dog.
