THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Finding a really good quality pre-prepared dog food can be tricky as the supermarket shelves are literally awash with a variety of products at widely varying prices.

You should not allow yourself to be misled or misguided by the advertising claims made on the packaging.Some of the more powerful food manufacturers have serious marketing and advertising budgets where they will try and convince you that their food is the best.Price is usually the main indicator of quality and budget dry dog food are, more often than not, inferior to their higher priced rivals.

A quality dog food will contain around 25% protein and 20% oils and fats.The protein should come from a good quality source. Typically, dogs will require a varying amount of protein and fats, based on age, breed and mobility so you may want to get some advice from your vet.To find the best quality dog food you need to know which ingredients are better than others. Pay attention to the ingredients list and look out for: Human Grade Ingredients Chicken meal, Turkey meal, Fish meal, Rice, Potatoes, Lamb meal, Potatoes, Rice, Sunflower Oil, Vegetables and others.The first four ingredients should not include any grains but should be made up of meat. Chicken is fine for dogs but be cautious if chicken is the main ingredient.Some manufacturers are counting the entire chicken toward protein value.  This includes beaks, feathers, and feet.

Quality dog food will also include vitamins and fatty acids. Some examples include Vitamin E, Omega 3 and 6, etc. These are very important for a healthy looking skin and coat.Artificial preservatives should be avoided.Where possible you should also avoid food which looks to contain excessive amounts of cereal, wheat, chicken by-products, soy and gluten. These ingredients can cause health problems for dogs both now and in the future because they can be very hard to digest.Sugar is another ingredient that you want to stay away from.
