Best food for a ShihTzu

I have a Shih Tzu and with all the dog foods out there how do I figure out which is best without spending big bucks and trying one after another? I already know not to have meat byproducts or corn as an ingredient.

Orijen & Acana are top of the line, but also are quite pricey. Taste of the Wild, & Wellness would round out my top 3 picks.I would add Cannidae & EVO for top 5. Look for meat as the top ingredients, meat meal is also good. Grain free is a good choice. No ethoxyquin (used as a preservative for fish...carcinogen) No BHA or BHT or synthetic vitamin K (menadione) No artificial colors/dyes, sugar

Purina, for example uses horrible ingredients in their food. They use the cheapest ingredients in their foods. The first ingredient should always be meat, real meat. The first ingredient in Purina Beneful (for example) is ground yellow corn. You are better off feeding a better dog food. Take a close look at the ingredients - corn, whole wheat flour, animal fat, soy, water, rice flour, pearled barley, sugar, menadione, etc., let's just say that this food is one of the worst you can feed. Purina is exactly like feeding your dog a whole bottle of syrup and greasy McDonald's for every meal, except worse.

Dog food companies such as Pedigree, Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, Bil Jac, Ol' Roy, Kibbles N' Bits, Royal Canine, Science Diet, etc., don't care what goes into their dog food. They use the lowest quality of ingredients in their pet food.

I feed Orijen to my dogs sometimes. I feed a Prey Model Raw Diet to my dogs and they do great on it, I've seen great results. I've never had a problem with Orijen, it's the best food for dogs and cats out there. Feeding a raw or a home cooked diet is also a great thing to do for your pet. Feed the best food to your pet.
