Just as with us, our pet’s health also improves when eliminating junk food, chemicals, pesticides and additives from their diet.

Buying Organic guarantees that you have human grade dog food.

Organic Dog Food cannot be labelled as such unless there is a certified amount of organic ingredients in the product and must be certified as such by a third party.

Recalls and poisonings aside, there are plenty of other reasons to be aware of what’s in your animal’s food.

A good diet keeps your pet’s coat healthy and keeps his digestive system running smoothly. Also, you pay for what you get. Foods with a lot of fillers are cheaper but less nutritious. Just as with human food, good ingredients will go a long way toward giving your pet a long, healthy life.

This is a list of Top 7 Picks for Best Dog Foods with an ingredient list showing why.

Learn to decipher labels on commercial pet foods. The most important parts of the label are the nutritional adequacy statement and ingredients list.

Specifically, what to look for and what to avoid, are the two most important things to learn.

A well formulated cat or dog food will list chicken, beef, lamb, poultry, or fish meal first.

Check out my dog food rating scale HERE.

Just for fun use this scale to check out the real nutrition and safety of your dog food that you presently use. I bet if you are still buying grocery store kibble you will be surprised at how bad the food really is for your dog.

Cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores, so both need their meat. Bone meal and other meat by-products are poor sources of protein. The first ingredient should be a specific meat and not a by-product or a meal. Organic meat is the best choice, and ususally you will find two or more listed on the premium brands. Soy, rice, oats, yeast, wheat, corn, and other fillers provide protein but aren’t as digestible, and can cause allergies in dogs. Corn, soy, wheat and peanut shells are often used simply to increase the manufactueres profits, and this is definitely not in your dog's best interest.

Manufacturers sometimes try to mask the amount of fillers in pet foods by breaking them into components. For example, corn may be listed as cornmeal, corn gluten and ground corn. If all three were grouped together, corn would become a main ingredient, rather than meat.

At the end of the list you’ll find preservatives in the cheap dog food brands. Ethoxyquin is one of the most controversial, because it may affect a dog’s liver.

Premium dog foods don't use chemical preservatives. Look for foods preserved with Vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid) or Vitamin E (listed as tocopherol) instead.

A better alternative is to buy organic pet food. An organic pet food marked 95% organic meets the same guidelines as organic food produced for humans. The food won’t contain pesticides or antibiotics, and it’s preserved with natural substances like Vitamins C and E. As with any food, the organic option will be more expensive, but it’s healthier for your pet, and the way it is produced is definitely better for the environment.

The best choice by far is making your own Homemade dog food, so you know exactly what you’re feeding your animals. Ensure you’re preparing nutritionally balanced food, or your pet may suffer from malnutrition.

Consult your veterinarian before starting your pet on home made pet food, or buy a few good dog cook books, written by vets (DVM) or animal nutritionists.
