Is top-brand kibble healthy for my dog, or should I switch to fresh?

Question

Is a high quality kibble bad for my dog? I've been told that I should only feed fresh food and that kibble is poor quality nutrition. I've always used top quality brands such as Acana Orijen and Fromm. Is what I'm doing healthy? I think raw and home cooked are great but it's very expensive and hard to properly balance the diet. Thanks!

There are many varied and strong opinions on this subject. A good quality, complete kibble is an appropriate diet for your dog and avoids the risks of under or over supplying essential nutrients as well as the risks of food poisoning type issues with raw food. Not all brands will suit all dogs and it may take a little time to find the best diet for your dog, which may change as he gets older or develops any health concerns
