Pawsitive's Basic Food Guidelines

http://www.dogfoodscoop.com is an excellent link and provides specific guidelines and recommendations.

 

www.greatdanelady.com is also an outstanding resource for food guidelines, especially for the large and giant breeds. 

 

 

Food Guidelines in a Nutshell

Do NOT used raised feeders (see my link for bloat for international study) or add water.

 

AVOID

 

Unidentified ingredients (not poultry but chicken, not fish but salmon, etc)

Wheat, Soy, Corn and Beet (low on the list for Beet)

Avoid Citric Acid used as a preservative

No fat in the top 4 ingredients

No by-products

 

LOOK FOR

 

3 or 4 different sources of meat protein, positions 1 and 2 occupied by a meat source*

Look for whole or meal products, in that order

Look for supplements added AFTER processing so amounts can be validated

 

*ALLERGIES?
Limit to 1 or 2 uncommon meat sources and very limited list of ingredients. (i.e., Duck and Sweet Potato)

 

SNACKS

 

Do not compromise and give high-sugar snacks.  Use same rules as above.  Try and stay in same family of foods where possible to provide balanced meals and treats
