What's up with all the different dog foods?

Whenever you go to the supermarket, you’ll notice there are shelves and shelves of dog food. Have you ever read the labels on the bags of dog food? Are the dog foods available from your vet really better, or are they just more expensive?

Choosing the right food for your dog is important. Feeding an inappropriate food may lead to low energy levels, reduced immune system, infertility, loose stools and a dull coat. What makes a dog food a good food?

An important difference between foods is the source of its protein content. Animal protein such as lamb or chicken has a better balance of amino acids for your dog, so food containing more animal protein is a much better choice. However, animal protein is also more expensive than plant protein, so these foods will cost you more. You can bet your bottom dollar that a cheap dog food contains cheap ingredients, and while it will keep your dog alive, he won’t be the best he can be.

Dog Food Review is a great web site where you can review and compare most brands of foods.
