What dog food should I feed my dog? I'm confused by all the options.

Question

I am so overwhelmed with what dog food I should be feeding my dog. I’m reading all these articles on why these “premium” dog foods are bad. I have no idea where to begin.... HELP. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 50 lbs

If you ask 100 people and 100 vets you will probably get at least 150 different answers. It is really personal preference. Don't stress too much. Just remember that more expensive foods are not necessarily better. Buy what you can comfortably afford and if Bella is doing well on that food (no gas, no diarrhea, no vomiting, has a healthy coat, etc) then keep her on it. I have seen dogs eating Ol'Roy arguably the worst food and they look great on it. I have seen dogs on the most expensive foods look terrible. I personally like Royal Canin foods but they can be expensive. I you are looking for a less expensive brand then I would go for Iams or Purina One. Hope this helps. If you have more questions you are welcome to post again or opt for a private consultation so you can ask as many questions as you'd like.
