[NAGDU] Dog Food Question

[Danielle Sykora]

I am currently feeding my guide and retired guide Farmina Ancestral
Grain. I've spent way too many hours of my life researching dog food,
and here are the brands I would recommend taking into account
ingredient quality/sourcing, reputability/recall history of the
company, amount of meat derived protein in the formula, and the
possible link between diet related DCM and high legume/potato diets.
One of my dog's is allergic to chicken, so I pay attention to that
too.
*Farmina: includes grain free and grain inclusive options, and
chicken-free options
*Victor (Performance, Professional, and High-Pro Plus formulas): grain inclusive
*Nature's Select High Protein formula: grain inclusive
*Nature's Logic: grain inclusive, chicken free options
*Sport Dog: one of the only grain free foods that don't include
legumes (some dogs just don't do well with grains), chicken-free
options
