What to feed my dog so she has good nutrition ?

What is the best thing to feed my dog so she has good proper nutrition ?She is a 12 kilo jack russell and she's 3 years old.

natures recipe......you can buy it from petsmart!! great food!!!! no matter what you end up doing, make sure under the ingredients it does not list by products

normal pet store foods would do goodbut make sure not to feed it chocolate as its poison to them and not chicken either cause it will make them very lazy

Human grade dog food is always the best type of food for your dog. Foods without corn, by-products, soy, wheat gluten, and artificial color is best for dogs because these preservatives can cause many allergies and sickness in your dog. I feed my dog Wellness and she has done very well on it. Some other foods you may want to look into are: Canidae, Nature's Variety, Merrick, Innova, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul, Solid Gold, and Taste of the Wild. Good Luck with your choices!

Not all pet food is made equally. A lot of it is full of corn, by-products, dyes, unhealthy preservatives, filler grains and all sorts of nasty stuff. A lot of pet food companies are perfectly happy to the dump cheap leftovers and things that aren't safe for human consumption (from human food processing plants) into their foods. Will it kill your dog? No, it has to be nutritionally complete and safe to even be marketed. Is it healthy? Not by a long shot.Corn is a low quality ingredient you never want to see in your pet food. Corn and low quality grains are two of the biggest culprits when it comes to food allergies in our pets.Thankfully, there are some excellent dog foods being made these days that include organic, human grade ingredients rather than trash not fit for human consumption.Examples of low quality foods to avoid: Anything you can find in a grocery store will be low end, Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Royal Canin, Pedigree, Kibbles n' Bits, Beneful, Ol'Roy.Examples of high quality foods to look for: Innova, Wellness, Solid Gold, Canidae All Life Stages, Fromm Four Star, Merrick, GO Natural, Nature's Variety Prairie, Nature's Logic, Artemis Fresh Mix, Timberwolf Organics.Although the high quality foods are more expensive, you're getting what you're paying for. Less filler material means more concentrated nutrients... this means you typically need to feed far less of the high quality food than you would of the low quality one. Which also means less poop!Before following your vet's food recommendation, keep in mind that vets get /very/ little nutritional training during their schooling. Besides that, what training they /do/ get is usually sponsored or taught by the crappy pet food companies! They also often get paid to sell some of their products at their clinics (Science Diet, Royal Canin etc.)A great option is to go with an entirely grainless diet. Many of the high quality foods now put out grainless formulas. Some good grainless diets include: Innova EVO, Wellness CORE, Blue Wilderness, Nature's Variety Instinct, Orijen, Horizon Legacy, Merrick Before Grain, Canidae Grain Free All Life Stages, Fromm Surf & Turf, Now! and Sold Gold Barking At The Moon, Taste of the Wild.Some pretty decent foods can even be found in common pet stores. Petsmart carries Blue Buffalo products (such as the excellent grain free diet Blue Wilderness). Petco carries Wellness, Solid Gold, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack Holistic, Blue Buffalo, Castor & Pollux Organix, Pinnacle, and Halo. If you can't find a food, most of the high quality food brands have websites with store locators on them.Another option, if you can't find anywhere around you that sells good foods, is to order your pet food online. Here's an excellent place to do so: http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/Remember that foods should be switched gradually (mixing new slowly in with the old over about a two week period), especially when switching to a higher quality one, so as not to upset tummies.Another option for feeding dogs is to feed raw. This is something that should be thoroughly researched before being attempted:http://www.barfworld.com/http://www.rawfed.com/http://www.rawlearning.com/http://www.wysong.net/controversies/rawmeat.shtmlMore on dog food:http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=main (Learn how to determine the quality of your dog's food.)http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/ (Dog food reviews.
