Most vet clinics will sell quality canned food through their office. You should ask yours.

Wal-Mart and most grocers don’t carry good quality pet food because they need to keep their own costs down by only purchasing cheap stuff to stock.

The best you can buy in a supermarket nutritionally is Purina. Iams is also a good one.

Purina and Iams are good. I’ll give you a tip about dry dog food too real quick. Look at the ingredients and if the first one is meat – then it’s a good dog food. If the first ingredient is ground yellow corn, then it has a lot of fillers. Of course, the one with meat as the first ingredient is always more expensive though.

I haven’t done store bought canned in forever but when my family had a doxy we used alpo canned and that can be bought at wal-mart, target, any grocery store.

There are lots of good dog foods available at large pet stores. Look for something with meat as the main ingredient. The first ingredients listed on the label are what the food contains the most of. Their should not be any grains in the first three ingredients at least. Dogs/Wolves do not eat corn, soy and wheat in the wild. It’s also good to stay away from animal by-products. If you’re shopping at the grocery store, the best food I’ve found is Purina ONE. I would not buy any other Purina however. There are a lot of better foods then ONE though. Below is a GREAT site about how to rate your pet food:

By stores…can you please mean Pet Stores?? Anything sold at Target, Walmart and grocery stores contain lots of corn and meat by products (heads, beaks etc.)

I usually do all my shopping at Petco as it is convenient to my house AND they have a program with their food, every 11 bag is free SO – the best wet, canned, dog food I can suggest from Petco or Petsmart would be WELLNESS – it is spendy – but high high HIGH quality ingredients! Another one is Blue Buffalo which may not be sold everywhere, I know they sell it here in Oregon, but not in Arizona….and my last choice would be Nutros Ultra line…I have used all three, but with my dogs allergies, we have to be VERY Particular….

Good Luck!
