What Is A Healthy, Affordable Dog Food?

I want to feed my German shepherd healthy food, and I’ve done a lot of reading and concluded that most of the major commercial brands are not good bets. However, all of the foods that I have found that are considered to be very healthy are also quite expensive (Orijen, Innova, Candidae, etc). Does anyone know of an affordable, healthy option that won’t break the bank?

A:      Go to your local livestock feed store. They carry many of the premium brands for less than a premium price. The one that I go to carries taste of the wild, chicken soup…, merricks, natural balance as well as diamond naturals, exclusive, and proplan.

A:      

I use something by Nutro Natural Choice. Just check the label if the first few ingredients, avoid corn and wheat these are mostly fillers for a dog. Try to find something with some meat as the first ingredient. Just compare a few different brands for the best price.

A:  What about feeding raw food? You can get offcuts from the butcher quite inexpensively. Why not do some research on raw feeding? You will find many mixed opinions on this, but in the end it is 100% your choice. At least if you make the food yourself and feed it raw you know exactly what your dog is eating…

A:     

I like Natural balance It’s really good food but it runs about 50.00 for a 30lbs bag
