Best Answer

Purina is a rather low quality dog food. Purina is full of cereals which provide very little in the way of nutrition to a dog, and use poor quality meat sources. A dog gets most of its nutrients from meat, so it is best to look for a food that uses less cheap filler (grain, corn, wheat) and more meat sources.

All dry food and can food is junk. They will poo alot because it is junk. If dogs and people eat very nutritious greens, veggies and very lean meat you and the dog will poo less.

Why do dogs love junk dog food and What is in it?

3 factors. It smells good, and they see their owners eating it. They don't actually like it more then their own food. Remember, dog's are still pack animals, and they arrive from an animal that ate the same food. When your dog see's you eating say a hamburger, and they never see you even pretend to eat kibbel, they assume that the hamburger is the ''packs'' food, and therefor theirs as well, not the kibbel.Also, Beneful is a dog food brand of junk food. I feed it to my puppy. But we also have Blue Buffalo. Blue Buffalo is not a junk food of dog food. But like Beneful,Beneful is a junk food of dog food. In Beneful, there's lots of sugar and also fat added to the dog food. Just like Bil-jac and many other brands of dog foods (except for Blue Buffalo). Dog treats are ok for your dog though, there suppost to have sugar. Dog treats are like doggie desserts. Still, I recommend Blue Buffalo's dog treats. Burgers (depending on the certian burger) has fat and sugar added to it. Dogs aren't supposed to be eating human food or junk food dog food. Even human junk food. Lists of junk dog & puppy food: Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, Pedigree, Bil-jac, Beneful, Royal Canin, Purina Dog Chow, Purina Puppy Chow, Nutro Natural Choice, Purina Active Senior 7+, Iams, etc. Lists of healthy dog & puppy food: Blue Buffalo. Lists of doggie human food hazards (told by our vet): Chocolate, Onions, Garlic and I forgot what else >_<

What makes Purina one better than other dog foods?

This is a difficult question to answer, because it presumes that Purina One is better than other dog foods. In reality, if your dog maintains a healthy weight and good overall health while eating a particular brand of dog food, it is fine for that dog. Overall there isn't really any one brand or line of dog food that is inherently superior to any other dog food - it depends on how that food helps that particular dog.
