2. Wellness is great. Science Diet and Iams is BAD and unnatural!!!! I know its more expensive but it will let your dog live longer. Look for natural stuff! :)
3. The recalled brands are already pulled off I believe But check out www.dogfoodanalysis.com
4. Anything you can get at a grocery store. These include Iams, Pedigree, Purina. Other brands to avoid are Science Diet, and Nurto. Visit http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com to pick a food. Look at the 5 and 6 star foods. The 1 star food are ones to avoid.
5. IAMS is the worst. Its very unhealthy especially for puppies. Ok for adults but not great. Pedigree is good.
6. OL Roy it's been recalled 3 times in the last year and a half
7. apples are a health food for people, but for dogs apple seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can result in cyanide poisoning in dogs.Do not share your coffee or nything else containing caffeine as it works as a stimulant and has been known to cause seizures in animals, some have been fatal.Better quality foods are highly digestible which means there is less waste to come out!   Poor quality pet foods contain fillers, like corn.  It makes your dog feel full but is highly indigestible.  Feeding a premium food means that your dog will eat less, IAMS suggest that you feed a 25 lbs dog 4 cups of kibble.  On a holistic brand like Solid Gold, you are likely to feed 1.5 cups or less!  Holistic brands cost more but last longer than any supermarket brand.  Since your pet is healthier by feeding a premium brand, it also means fewer visits to the vet. dog food fiasco involved some of the most well known pet foods - even some that had previously been touted as the best dog food brands. It just goes to show that dog food ingredients are not all that the pet food manufacturers would have you believe. The dog food recall list included all of the following well known brands: Pedigree dog food Nutro dog food Purina dog food Iams dog food Innova dog food Alpo dog food Beneful dog food Diamond dog food Canidae dog food Merrick dog food Royal Canin dog food Eukanuba dog food. Which was the manufacturer that first "blew the whistle" and owned up to the bad dog food? Menu Foods dog food recall was the first to "come clean". It's paying the price now with numerous law suits by grieving pet owners whose dogs became very sick, or died as a result of contaminated dog food. What irks most is that Menu Foods and others knew for some time about the dog food poisoning, and did nothing for several weeks, by which time hundreds of thousands of pets had eaten the pet food.
