If you want to try to find something that offers her more nutritional value, do your research and then to trial feedings with her and observe the results. (Always remembering to switch her gradually to allow her time to adjust. Swapping over to something different cold turkey can cause serious digestive upset which can lead to bacterial infections.)
dogfoodanalysis.com is a good place to start your research as it has lots of information regarding the ingredients, but it's important to realize that the information and ratings on the site are based solely on the opinions of the site editors, not long term, professional research. So your research for a new food shouldn't stop and end there.
Another site you may want to try is: Dog Food Review Ratings
It will link you to several sites with information about commerical foods, home cooking, raw feeding, and supplements.
You may also want to try the sticky at the top of this section. It lists some of the more recommended (at least by YT members) brands and some of the companies will send you samples and coupons if you contact them and request them.
Good luck! |
I am sorry I have to disagree. Eukanuba is not good for ANY dog... never mind what is best for your dog... dogs are dogs and need HIGH QUALITY food and no matter how you look at it Eukanuba is crap. If a dog is "doing well" on it its just because you can't see what the food is doing to the insides of their body! if you woudl put that crap in your body..then go ahead and give it to your dog... but i beleive if you want your dog to live a long healthy life, you have to give them only the best food... and bi-products are by NO MEANS good for ANY dog.
OP- do your research. The links given are great.. but look on the back at any label and just see what is in the food you are feeding. You are looking for WHOLE ingredients.. no bi-products... no fillers listed as #1 or #1 (corn, wheat)
Good luck. Food is daunting and hard to find a good one.. i'm constantly changing my opinion on what a good kibble is. Currently i advocate for Natural Balance.
