Best Dog Foodhow to make the right choice
Feeding the best dog food you possibly can is a very important part of puppy care. But, it can be tricky to figure out EXACTLY which is the best quality dog food that's right for your pup. Between advertising campaigns, complicated labeling, and a host of food recalls, choosing a dog food can be complicated to say the least. My aim is to make puppy care as simple, straightforward and hassle-free as possible, so I've put together tons of information and articles to help you choose the best dog food for your little guy or gal. To start with I've compiled a list of the Top 25 dog foods on the market so that you can make an educated decision. These foods are rated according to Sarah Iricks' Dog Food Grading System. This method of determining the best dog food is based on allocating points for high quality dog food ingredients, and deducting points for inferior ingredients/fillers/chemicals etc. The resulting 'score' for each dog food ranges from an 'A+' to an 'F', and you can see the Report Card for all 48 of the most popular brands on my Dog Food Ratings page. Here are the Top 25.......

As you would expect, many of the premium foods on this list continue to rank at the top, but the dog food industry is constantly growing and changing. Existing foods improve and new ranges appear regularly. To make sure you have all the up-to-date information that you need to make an informed choice, my 10 Best Dog Food Choices page, has a full list of the ten most popular premium dog foods today. There's all the detailed information you need on each brand, plus links you can use to purchase any one of them. What you feed your pup/dog has a direct impact on his health, well-being and lifespan. Nothing but the best is good enough for your beloved Fido or Fifi, so it makes sense to choose from the best and help them live long, happy, healthy lives. But it's also good to remember that it's not ONLY the quality of food that you feed your pup that's important, but how much you feed him. Feeding too little, or too much, can cause problems in the way your pup grows and develops. To find out how many cups of a particular food your pup needs each day, simply check the bag to find out how many kcal/cup it provides, then use the handy canine calorie calculator below...
