Dog food?!

Question

Hey I just recently took in a 1yr old pit bull and was wondering the best brand of food for him? My mom has dogs but buys cheaper food and I just want to make sure I’m feeding him something good. Thank you in advance.

Answer

When I worked at the vet, we used to feed them science diet and Purina pro plan. I heard royal canin is good too

Answer

Go to the pet store and look at the ingredients, speak to a staff member and don’t buy cheap food from the supermarket as your dogs poo will be a bad consistency and smell foul. I wouldn’t buy it from the vet as they are paid by the brands they sell much the same as Dr’s are by Pharmaceutical companies when there are plenty of alternatives/generic brands with very good content and not as expensive.

Answer

Check out dog food advisor.com, anything 4+ rating is good. If you can buy it in a grocery store it is not the best. Wellness brand, Orijen, Taste of the Wild, Certain Purina pro plans, and some others are more affordable high quality dog foods.

Answer

Bullies tend to be allergy prone so I’d avoid anything with corn, high levels of peas or lentils and chicken. Grain free diet is controversial as the studies are limited. DCM is rare and only potentially linked to grain free dog food. I’m not saying go with grain free but I’ve been feeding it for years, my dogs are 12, 14, and 3. I have thought about switching to a dog food with ancient grains like quinoa but it’s so expensive lol some brand like Taste of the Wild are affordable but I worry about recalls. Avoid blue buffalo if anything

Answer

We feed our dog Rachel Ray dog food. It seems to be one of the "cleaner" foods.

Answer

My vet recommends staying away from grain free. We feed Fromm gold and all of our dogs have done well on it. My friend who is a vet tech also said Purina Pro Plan is a great one to try.

Answer

Vet tech here. 
Science diet is my recommended dog food. Pro plan and royal canin are great too. 
Stay away from grain free, they are absolutely horrible for dogs. Dogs are omnivores and need grains.

Answer

I have two pitbulls & one pit mix. We feed them Purina Pro Plan- vet recommended it. But ask your vet what they recommend as well.

Answer
