You just have to find a food with ingredients that you are comfortable with. Some say high protein because that's what dogs in the wild would eat. Some say it is an expensive energy source and carbs are fine. Some say don't give preservatives like ethoxyquin. Others say they have never been shown to be problematic in the amount that they are used in dog food. Some say by-products are left overs and we would never eat them. Others say it is organ meat and very good for pups. Then the people who like the holistic food like the inclusion of things like probiotics (although we don't even know if they do any good, especially after the heating of the food) and they like the fresh fruits and vegetables added. Well, if they were that fresh, most likely they would go for human food, so that idea may or may not be correct. You just gotta do what you are comfortable with. I prefer homecooking and one of the reasons is that I think human foods tend to get recalled faster if there is a problem. If I fed kibble it would probably be Innova, Natural Balance or Science Diet Nature's Best Chicken.

| I homecook now too, but when I fed kibble it was "Go!" because I liked the ingredients and it's made locally for me. Here is a great website for reading dogfood reviews. I used this to research when I first got Missy and wanted to find a good kibble for her. Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble
