With a growing number of pet owners contemplating the connection of their dog’s health to what he eats, they are wondering about the best dog food brands.If you know what you’re doing you can find the best brand of dog food by reading the labels.

It would be great if that was the case, but with the encrypted code being used by the pet food companies, it is not that easy.

In reality, it is easier to find healthy foods for yourself than to find healthy dog foods brands.

The trouble here is that pet food producers are allowed to incorporate ingredients that are not for human consumption in their foods. In fact, they can even use left over by-products and call them healthy sounding names to fool you into thinking they are good for you pet!

One would imagine that seeing dried eggs as ingredients for dog foods would mean the foods are good. The fact is that these foods can contain eggs, egg shells, and similar tissues which are unfit for human consumption.

In my research for the best dog food brands, I found a list of 68 ingredients like the one listed above, that if found on your dog food label, you should immediately stop feeding it to your dog. 28 of these 68 are actually deadly ingredients, and why they won’t kill your dog today, they will shorten her life considerably.

I also found a free confidential dog food report written by a guy that has hired a testing firm to find the best dog food brands in North America. The report is copyright protected, so I can’t re-print it in this article.

Only nine brands made the rankings of the best dog food brands in America based on criteria of being the most healthy foods in the list.

They also list 27 brands that they considered, but didn’t make the grade, and there are some big names on this list. Names like Iams, Science Diet and Eukanuba didn’t make the cut.

The report continues to be updated, and in this 2nd addition there are six brands that have been removed due to reasons listed in the report. Every brand in the report has a reason why it is healthy or not.

After becoming outraged on the things I found out about what they put into dog food, I changed my two dogs to a homemade diet. I’ll be the first to admit that at times it is just necessary to have a commercially made back-up. This is why it was so import to me to find the best dog food brands that would be healthy for my dogs.
