What kind of pet food would you have to buy for Golden Retrievers?

Answers:
I wouldn't have to but I would prefer to buy Canidae.
No corn or wheat (empty fillers and not good for dogs as they cause allergies)
No wheat gluten or rice protein (cause of all the recent recalls)
Made with human grade indgredients from US suppliers.

Certain dog food such as Iams or One.

The same kind of food you should purchase for any other breed - a QUALITY food free of artificial coloring and useless fillers such as wheat and corn.

Quality brands that you can get at the pet store are Nutro, Nutro Ultra, Natural Balance, and Blue Buffalo. If you have a feed store or holistic food store, they may carry Innova Evo, California Naturals, Wellness, or Canidae, which are all excellent foods made from human-grade ingredients.

You can learn more about dog nutrition from the Dog Food Project website at http://www.dogfoodproject.com/

Keep away from commercial brands that are full of unnecessary (and often harmful) ingredients such as Iams, Beneful, Purina, Ol'Roy, Eukanuba, etc.

the main thing is that you want a good, quality food. Typically, the cheap stuff is NOT the type you're looking for. Always look for a dog food where the first ingredient is MEAT (poultry, lamb, etc) and not a by product or meal, which can include feet, beaks, fur, feathers, etc.

My pets love Wellness brand. Totally organic, and pretty darned expensive. Since i'm not rich and i have quite a few animals, i feed Purina One Chicken and Rice. It's fairly affordable, my pets love it, and the nutrition label is pretty good considering the affordable alternatives. Talk to your vet, and he'll give you some ideas. I'm not big on the Science Diet brand myself, but those are decisions you need to make for yourself. Learn what the words on the labels mean, and you'll be doing your dog an amazing favor.

The best kind of pet food you can buy is Canidae. With all of the recalls, I did alot of research and actually called the company. They only use human grade ingredients, meaning they are safe for humans to eat. Canidae actually has their own factory who produces their food and there has never been any recall. And all of their ingredients come only from the United States. AND, Contrary to popular belief, chicken meal has more protein in it than regular chicken. It is NOT made of beaks and feet, only quality meat. There is only 7% protein in chicken and 25% protein in the chicken meal. The chicken is all moisture. The Canidae site explains better what the difference is. You'll have to locate the correct tab, but it is in there. Here is their website:

I hope this helps!
