Does it really matter what food I feed my dog?

Just as with humans, a healthy diet is important. Quality ingredients can make a big difference in your dog's activity level, allergies, skin and coat quality, joint health, house training and even aggression and behavior problems. We recommend feeding the highest quality diet that you can afford, keeping in mind that although "super premium" foods may be slightly more expensive, you will actually be feeding less (sometimes up to half as much per meal) because the dog will be getting more nutrients from less food. You may also see financial benefits in the form of fewer vet bills and better health, so often you end up doing better financially by investing in a higher quality food. You will also see benefits in the form of less poop to scoop, which is always nice!

For more about diet and nutrition, please check out our video on housetraining and diet. You can also find out about the best foods on the market by checking out the Whole Dog Journal, which provides independent reviews of a variety of dog diet options.
