When it comes to purchasing the best food for your dog, you want to ensure that he or she has the best and not something that will fail to provide the nutritional value that they need. There are three types of dog food: dry, wet, and raw. What you feed your dog depends on several factors, such as nutrition, quality, and their preference.

To help you and your dog choose what is best for them, the following is a breakdown of the best of the different types of dog food:

Best Dry Dog Food

The following dry dog foods have received excellent ratings throughout the Internet for their nutritional value, taste, and use of natural ingredients:

  • Blue Buffalo Wilderness
  • Dr. Harvey’s Oracle
  • Dr. Tim’s Grain-Free Dog Food and traditional
  • Hollistic Blend Gran-Free

To learn about other high quality foods for your dog, you can ask your veterinarian. They may carry some of the foods or you can visit your local pet store.

Best Raw Dog Food

Raw dog foods are just as they sound: they are raw and not cooked. As we all know, dogs like raw meat and raw bones. Raw foods can also have a high nutritional value. When it comes to raw foods, they usually come frozen as to ensure they are safe. Some of the highest rated raw dog foods on the market include:

Again, your veterinarian is going to be able to give you the proper advice regarding raw foods and which may be best for your dog.

Changing Dog Foods

Keep in mind that it may take more than one try to find a food that your dogs like. Dog foods are not one-size-fits all when it comes to taste because dogs can have very individualized tastes. If they don’t like one type, try another. However, be sure to heed your vet’s advice when it comes to changing foods due to the fact that abrupt and frequent changes can cause stomach upset.
