A few Bad dog foods:

Iams

Science Diet

Euckenuba

Purina

Beneful

Proplan

Sportsmix and Meowmix (cat food)

Anything that has:

corn (filler, no nutritional value, corn gluten meal etc)

by-products (cheap, chicken-by products, meat bone meal-by products...)

gluten (gluten meal)

any meat that is not specific (meat, meat by products, meat bone meal...)

wheat

any grains that are NOT "whole" grains

brewer's rice (used as a cheap filler, no nutritonal value, by-product of the alcohol industry)

Some Good dog foods:

Evo

California Natural (and other Nutura pet foods)

Innova

Healthwise

Verus

Holistic Select

Merrick

Before Grain

Whole Earth's Farms

Nature's Logic (no synthetic vitamins/minerals)

Nutro Ultra

Wysong

All good dog foods have a type of "meal"

'meal' - ground up, cooked before weighed

Meat loses 70% of its weight through water in the cooking process.

Ex. Since Chicken 'meal' is cooked before being weighed,

10lbs of chicken meal = 10lbs of chicken meat in the dog food

whereas

10lbs of chicken is only 3lbs of chicken in dog food because regular chicken

is weighed BEFORE it loses 70% of its weight through water.

(through it being cooked)

Dogs are carnivours and the more meat the better.

Answer:

It is hard to say, but giant brands such as Hill's, IAMS, Royal Canin and Purina are probably some of the most popular brands today. However, just because their popularity doesn't always reflect on the actual quality of the food.

These brands are cleverly advertised, which increases the popularity. Hill's sell their foods through vets, most of whom they sponsor and the veterinary practices get a bonus when they sell Hill's food to customers.

Such big brands, despite their popularity, have very mediocre or low-quality foods. If one was to look at the ingredients, one would see very little meat being included and lots of grains, corn, wheat and other cereals. Grain is used instead of meat because it is cheaper to produce and helps the kibble pieces hold together. Ingredients such as "Ground Yellow Corn" and "Wheat Gluten" are a common cause of Allergies in cats.

Cats are strict carnivores; they get all their nutrition from fresh meat, and cannot digest nor need such high levels of carbohydrates that are in the grains and cereals.

The best cat foods are the ones with a very high, named meat content (labeled as Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, corn or any other cereals.

Answer:

Meow Mix is popular my cats used to eat it and were fine, but now they have trouble eating their new food. Because most dry foods are coated in fats and flavorings, they can become addictive. Stick with premium brands that are good for cats they'll thank you for it.
