I am on a neverending quest for the "BEST OF THE BEST" premium dog food for my growing crew. For me a premium brand contains all ingredients that acceptable for human consumption. The meat source must be listed in the #1 position in the ingredient list and the meat source must be MEAT, i.e. beef, lamb, chicken, etc..... that the food contain NO corn wheat and preferably no soy....
Right now I am feeding a mix of Innova EVO and Canidae. The dogs are ok on it ... they eat it ok, but I am thinking that there must be something better out there. I fed Old Mother Hubbard Wellness Fish and Sweet Potato for over a year because it had been recommended to me for dry coat, but it did little to help Chattie's dry brittle hair.... the Missing Link+ and cold pressed fish oil did that.
I read a thread about someone opening a bag of Merricks and it was full of "live meat" and that really turned me off on that product. I am sure that it was an isolated incident, but if I am going to drive 65 miles (one way) and pay bit $$ for dog food, I don't want any creepy crawlies in the bag
