The first place you can look are pet stores. Some Pet stores might carry different brands than the supermarkets. Another bonus is that some of these stores train their employees on dog food and they should be able to help you with any questions you have. Also, pet stores employes will be more aware of dog food recalls and dog food poisonning issues.

Natural & organic dog food

You can also look online. The internet will show you a world of natural and organic dog food that can be ordered and delivered right to you. They provide detail descriptions of the foods and the ingredients. The only downside is that sometimes these natural and organic foods can be costly and if you do decide to purchase one, there is a possibility your dog might not like it. After all, the final decision does come down to your dog and their tastes. You might want to purchase the smallest size of natural organic dog food available to test on your dog. Natural and organic pet foods have never been involved in dog food recalls.  

Though there are many dog lovers out there who gasp at the thought of using pre made dog food, there are still many dog lovers who swear by dry dog food. There are many, many brands of dog food out there and many manufactures. No one will be able to tell you what the best one is. You and are dog will have to work together as a team. You can do your part by carefully reading the labels on the food you are going to buy and make sure that it is not on the dog food recalls. Remember cheaper is not always better. A lot of times the cheaper brands add a lot of fillers and use cheap ingredients. The more premium dog foods tend to use better ingredients with no fillers. remember that most dog food recalls are from cheap dog food brands. Your dog is going to do their part by letting you know if they like the food or not. If you are switching food for what ever reason, then you want to make sure you give your dog a transition period. Sometimes if you go from one brand of dog food, to another you could upset your dogs stomach. Spend a day or two adding it to the brand you already use and each day add more new food and less of the old food until your dog is completely switched over. This can take a week or so to transition but it is in the best interest of your dog.
