Feeding your dog shouldnt make your brain hurt or break the bank. It also should be nutritious and not full of garbage!

Things to avoid:

COLORS: Colored kibble is marketing and dogs don’t do well w/artificial dyes

LARD: If you reach in the bag and grab a handful you should not come out with a smelly or greasy and. Sprayed on lard makes crap food palatable

Fillers: Corn, wheat and soy(beans) are cheap additives to fill the bag but many dogs are allergic due to poor quality of these scraps

POTATOES and PEAS: The grain free fad added in a different type of cheap filler and many dogs like them but nutritionally they dont need them.

Since kibble is dry hard rocks, I recommend rehydrating with a little warm water.

So what are good options on a budget:
