Orijen is recognized by experts and pet owners as a very high-grade dry dog food. It contains no grains at all, relying instead on potatoes for carbohydrates. Experts note that potatoes are also a good source of B… vitamins and minerals. Deboned chicken, chicken meal and turkey meal are the top three ingredients. Other meats, namely lake whitefish, turkey and salmon meal can be found further down the ingredient list. In addition, all other ingredients are of very high quality and include whole fruits such as apples, vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes, whole eggs and more. There’s also a good assortment of herbs, botanicals and probiotic microorganisms. Users are as enthusiastic as experts, despite the fact that Orijen is expensive.

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul dry dog food is less expensive than premium brands, but it has top-quality ingredients. Chicken, turkey, chicken meal, turkey meal, whole-grain brown rice and whole-grain white rice… are its primary ingredients, and there are no chemical preservatives. It’s more expensive than supermarket brands like Purina, but the main ingredient in Purina Dog Chow dry food is ground yellow corn — a grain that most pet-nutrition experts say your dog doesn’t need at all.

Innova is one of the best….unless your dog develops itchy skin, hot spots, or other problems, stick with it. You can’t do much better than that. I love stevens web sites……check them out.

There’s not really one best food for all dogs. Obviously you are concerned with feeding your dogs a high quality food which is good so here are some suggestions of other great dog foods:

My Rankings (For my two dogs, a Doberman and Pit Bull):

1.) Orijen
2.) Evo
3.) Taste of the Wild
4.) Horizon Legacy
5.) Blue Wilderness

I have researched this in depth since my poor dog died of kidney failure due to poor quality dog food!!(this is the only reason I answer these questions … to try and save a dogs life or at least to not let him/her suffer because of bad food)
Fromm Dog Food is Great for dogs and cats …http://www.frommfamily.com/ $42- $45 per 30 lb bag
NO fillers….some good quality grains….NO corn….gluten or by-products or wheat
ALL human grade food….fruits…veggies and probiotics!!WHOLE fruits and veggies!!!! Just like the kind we get at our grocery stores!
check it out you wont regret it !FROMM 4 STAR product line is the best!!!!!!!FROMM is a 100% holistic dog food.FROMM also has a grain-free option called surf & turf

http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/TOTW has a high protein content (not recommeded for non athletic dogs)Some TOTW choices have lesser amounts of protein.
Taste of the Wild contains Ethoxyquin which is a toxic fish preservative. (TOTW says that the cooking process kills all of it but it scared me away from their product)
around $42 for a 30 lb bag …. its the cheapest 6 star food ..

http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ lots of great dog food choices on this site !!

Orijen and Welness are great but it is $60 – $80 for a 30 lb bag…high protein as well ..not good for non athletic dogsOrijen is WAY to high in protein for a non working/non-agility dog ..
Fromm Is what my puppy gets it has a lower protein % and great ingredients! 5 outta 6 stars due to lower protein (but most dogs should not have high protein levels …. It makes their kidneys work overtime for no reason)
You can get it online and if you go to the website you can find stores near you .. they wont be at walmarts and the like… they are in feed stores .. Agway..tractor supply stores etc

IF your dog is not going to be a hard working/agility dog all this high protein can do more harm than good in the long run,,, you wont notice it now but it can take its toll on a dogs kidneys as it ages.

there is also a brand called 4health at the tractor supply store.. it is only $30 for a 35 lb bag.. and it seems to be of good quality. (not as good as the foods mentioned above but it good for the price if you are on a tight budget.)
It is very close in ingredients to the more expensive brands
also of you go to http://www.tractorsupply.com you can get a printable $5 off coupon!!
they have tons of low and high end foods there(including TOTW and 4 Health)
