Answer 1

If you are looking for the very best, I would say, Karma> http://www.karmaorganic.com/
It is 95% organic (free range chicken!) and made by California Natural. That link will allow you to find a distributor.
However, as my brood consists of so many large dogs, I can't afford karma for mine...Shooot..Ii can't afford to feed myself all organic..
There are many high quality dog foods available these days..I used to feed Nutro Chicken/Rice.and Lamb/Rice..My pups grew great, and, as my breed is long-coated, they had gorgeous coats in no time...
However, their teeth were always stained..I never knew why, but they seemed to need constant cleaning, to be ready to show..

So, I switched to Eukenuba, and they had better teeth, and nice coats..but bowels were always loose...

I fed Abady's for 2 litters, and liked what it did for the pups..but it stank..and was too un-handy....

I fed Purina Pro Plan when it came out..Pups did well..no complaints...

However, my supplier recommended Canidae 21/2 years ago..WOW! I never knew that my oldsters could be so rejuvenated! Suddenly they were putting on gorgeous coats, and acting as puppies..full of play..dancing as we walked...It just blew me away...
Then I took a 10 year old to have a cyst removed, and the vet came out amazed at her blood-work..he said that it was that expected in a 4-5 year old...He also said that he always cleans teeth while they are 'under', but that her teeth were absolutely clean..

I took another in to be spayed, at 7 years old, and the vet was amazed at how white and clean her teeth were..and then when he took out stitches..commented that she healed so fast that the incision was already hard to see...

All my dogs have just thrived on Canidae, and I would sure recommend it..It is made from all human grade ingredients, and natural preservatives..
there are other foods that are likely as good..but, as Canidae is easy to find, and they are doing so well, I wouldn't want to switch..
Other great dog foods that you can find most places, are Wellness, Innova, Solid Gold, Wysong, Natural Balance, Royal Canine...

NOTE: If you wipe your dog's face at least daily with fragrance- free Pampers baby wipes, it will eliminate the staining..

Answer 2

I recommend a high quality All Stages food.

I don't recommend puppy food for puppies. There is way more protein and calcium than needed. This causes rapid growth, rapid growth leads to bone and joint problems down the road. An All Stages food will give a more desired slow growth and help prevent bone and joint problems. Pups should grow up slowly, not spring up like weeds.

A couple such foods are Cannidae and Innova Evo, and both are dye free.

Here's information on how to find more high quality foods, a high quality food will not contain dyes, and should meet the following.

Nothing you find at a grocery store is going to be a good food. High quality foods can be found at large pet store chains, or online. A couple of foods I like are Nutro Natural, Innova, Innova Evo and Cannidae.

There are other high quality dog foods. Here's how to spot them:

A high quality food will have little or no fillers such as corn, wheat or soy. These aren't very digestable for dogs, and are common food related allergens. Since you were seeing corn meal in the first few ingredients, those are not high quality foods. Foods list ingredients by content, with the ingredient it contains most of at the top.

A high quality food will not contain BHT, BHA or Ethoxyquin, these are all chemical preservatives that have been linked to cancer.

A high quality food will not contain by-products of any kind. Meat meals are ok as long as the source of the meat is listed, such as Chicken Meal.

A high quality diet should have meat as at least the first ingredient., and be made from human grade ingredients. Foods that don't use human grade ingredients often get their ingredients from less than desirable sources, such as meat from animals that were diseased, or euthanized.

There is another diet option other than dog food. Some people choose to feed a raw diet. This involves feeding the dog raw meaty bones and organ meat. However it is not as simple as throwing a couple chicken bones in a bowl everyday. If you wish to feed this type of diet, do lots and lots of research first. Switching to this diet without knowing what your doing can lead to nutritional problems for your dog. I'll give you some links as a starting point in research if you are interested in this type of diet.

Answer 3

I have been recommended, tried, and just LOVE "EN". It comes in dry and wet food, is available only through a vet, but is soooo good for them and free of all things unnecessary. It's a black packaging with turquoise graphics. I would research and try EN if I were you. We have tried many different high quality foods over the years, and see a marked difference in our dogs' coats and overall health, young (5 months) and old (11 years).
