I do not know why someone stated feeding chicken, beef, and pork base protein. This is incorrect! Those proteins are perfectly fine to feed. In addition, chicken protein is the most commonly used in good kibble today.

I agree that grains should be avoided. That said, rice is a digestible grain and should be considered the lesser of the grain evils lol If choosing between white and brown rice, choose white. Brown rice has a chemical that reduced the dog's ability to absorb another nutrient (that escapes my mind at the moment).

Avoid ingredients that say by-product, gluten, meat and bone meal, corn, wheat, etc. Sorry, I am doing this from memory and I just woke up. lol

When reading the ingredient list, remember that ingredients are sorted in order of quantity in kibble. The first ingredient will be the base protein.

Remember that "chicken meal" is better than "chicken" in the ingredient list (same with other animal proteins).

An animal fat is better than an oil. This is the ingredient that will "glue" the kibble together.

Good luck in raising a healthy dog.
