dog food, health wise? We have just bought a new puppy and want to know the difference between the two type of foods. Serious answers only, not stupid answers.

Cheaper brands use less protein and more cereal type fillers in their foods. And usually more fat. Dogs need a certain amount of protein to be healthy. I'm not one for buying the high priced dog foods but looked into one that I felt was better quality than the cheap stuff. I finally settled on Pedigree. I can get a 52 lb bag at Sam's Club for less the $25., it's packed with good nutrition and all three of my dogs eat it well. They all have nice shiny coats and are all healthy. I have a chocolate lab, a German shepard mix and a Papillion and all of them are doing great on it.

Now for puppies, you really need a good quality dog food, just like feeding human babies formula. Read the information on the packages and I bet you can settle on a brand that won't cost you an arm and a leg. Better food now means a healthier adult dog.

Just because one brand is more expensive, dosent mean its better. If you look at the ingredients,one of the first three should be meat. Hope this helped!!
