Dog Food?

[Regulator75]

Hey fellow dog lovers on CP, I have a question...

What is the best type of dog food for a large adult dog?
(Shepherd, Rotty and Malamute size dogs)

Also, which brands to avoid?

Thanks!

We currently have our dogs on Go Naturals (About $60 per 30 lb. bag)

We are probably going to be switching to Orijen based on some good things I have heard about it. Similar price.

Everyone I know seems to have made the switch to Orijen. Good local (Alberta) product.

Located in the heart of Alberta's prairie farmlands, Champion is a reputable producer of high quality dog and cat foods that are exported worldwide since 1975.

Different from the typical "meal and grain" diets, ORIJEN formulas start from fresh regional ingredients like grain-fed chicken and fresh whole eggs produced on local prairie farms, lake whitefish - freshly caught from the icy depths of northern Canadian lakes, and salmon, cranberries and apples from Pacific coast oceans and orchards.

Using proprietory, low-temperature (90C) processing methods, we steam-cook our fresh ingredients in small batches to preserve their natural goodness and delicious taste.

Perhaps what sets us most apart is our deep passion for dogs and cats from all walks of life.

After all, it is with our own dogs and cats in mind that we make ORIJEN - a food that truly puts the optimal nourishment of dogs and cats above all else - a food we proudly call "CANADA'S BEST

The only thing that I have been warned about with Orijen and some of the other premium brands is that they are so high in protein that some dogs can have issues with things like liver problems, especially puppies and senior dogs (especially if on heart medicines). It's not any sort of a bash on the quality of the food, more just a warning to make sure the food is properly balanced for your dog's developmental and health characteristics.
