We all want what’s best for our dogs. As pet parents, our number one concern is whether we’re giving our lovable pups the absolute best food they can have. After all, delicious food is on the top of almost every dog’s list of priorities!

But what exactly does “best” mean for dog food? How should we pick the best dog food? Which brands or types of dog food can even be considered the “best”?

Let’s take a look at the best dog food you can get for your pup!

Picking the Best Dog Food

When it comes to picking dog food for your pup, there are a few main things to consider: 

• Your dog’s needs
• Your dog’s age, breed, health considerations
• Ingredients used
• Brand reputation and ethos

The most important thing to consider is your dog’s needs and wants - are they picky eaters that might need a little extra nudge to eat their food? Do they need specific senior or puppy formulas? 

To help you answer this question, we’ve assembled a list of great dog diet options you can find here on Good Dog People! We’ve also split them up according to what your pup might need. 

#1 Best Dry Dog Food

Dry food is one of the most common types of dog food. After all, we know that kibbles and other types of dry food such as freeze dried dog food and air dried ones are convenient and packed full of energy so your pup doesn’t need to eat too much to meet their needs.

Stella & Chewy’s range of delicious Freeze Dried Raw Blend Kibbles serve the best of both worlds. It’s extra tasty for the special picky pup in your life. They’re also full of the best and highest quality nutrients your dog requires.

Another great dry food option is ZiwiPeak’s Air Dried Dog Food. This particular brand of tasty dry food uses gentle twin-stage air-drying to preserve ingredients naturally while removing pathogenic bacteria. With no preservatives, sugars or glycerine, ZiwiPeak’s dry food is a great dry food option for a completely raw diet!

#2 Best Raw Dog Food

Kibble may not be for every dog, and that’s where raw dog diets come in! Containing a wide range of protein parts from organ meat to ground bone, dog-safe raw diets can help improve your pup’s coat, skin and dental health!

Big Dog Barf offers one of the best raw dog diet options on the market! They’re a trusted brand that serves up delicious and super fresh diets for pups. They’re especially good for pups with allergies and are suitable for all life stages!

#3 Best Fresh Dog Food

Fresh dog food helps bring our pups to their roots! These diets are typically made with natural, real ingredients and are great for heart, coat and eye health. They’re also perfect for increasing our pup’s energy level!

They’re baked to perfection with premium quality meat, celery and collagen and are a great way to add a little pizzazz to your pup’s diet!

#4 Best Wet Dog Food

Wet dog food is great for picky pups because they’re pungent and extra tasty. They’re also high in moisture and can help keep your dog well hydrated. This also helps improve their kidney and urinary tract function! 

For pups with diabetes or kidney issues, wet dog food can absolutely be a lifesaver too!

So if you’re looking for great wet dog food options, K9 Natural has the answer! Their iron-packed canned dog food range is packed with 90% tasty proteins like lamb or chicken.

#5 Best Dog Food for Every Life Stage

Depending on your pup’s age and life stage, they may have different requirements. Puppies, for instance, may need more calories to boost their growth while senior dogs need less calories to balance their less energetic lifestyle.

To help you meet the needs of every dog, ORIJEN has created the ultimate range of dog food from their specially formulated senior dog food to puppy dog food great for any pup.
