When it comes to caring for our dogs, certain things simply come with the territory, like feeding, exercising, training, and grooming. We don’t expect to be paid for these responsibilities – a happy, healthy dog is its own reward! But what if you could earn points just for providing your pooch with what they need?

Right now at PetSmart, you can earn 10,000 points when you spend $20 on ANY dry dog food AND purchase a Salon Spring Seasonal Special on the same day. That’s $20 back in Treat Rewards savings*, just for looking after your dog.

Whether you're after a simple bath & brush or the full indulgence of a haircut, de-shedding, nail trim, and ear clean, The Grooming Salon at your local PetSmart store has you covered.

While you wait, you can check out the huge variety of dog food available in store, but if you’d prefer to spend that time getting your own mani/pedi or haircut, here are five of our vets’ favorite dry dog foods available from PetSmart.

Our Top 5 Dog Food Picks from PetSmart

1. The Honest Kitchen Essential Clusters Adult Dry Dog Food - Beef & Chicken

We love The Honest Kitchen and its unique approach to making human-grade ingredients easy to store and serve. The Honest Kitchen Essential Clusters are made from human-grade, nutrient-rich whole foods that are cold-pressed into crunchy clusters, then gently roasted and dehydrated. It’s dry kibble, but not as we know it.


2. Simply Nourish® Limited Ingredient Diet Adult Dry Dog Food - Salmon & Sweet Potato

Far too often, we choose dog food based on the ingredients listed on the front of the bag, only to find sneaky extra meat ingredients included in the recipe, which can be disastrous if your dog has a food allergy! Fortunately, with the Limited Ingredient Diet in Salmon & Sweet Potato from Simply Nourish, salmon is the one and only animal protein to be found. Perfect for dogs with sensitive skin, delicate tummies, and refined tastes.


3. The Honest Kitchen Grain Free Clusters Adult Dog Dry Food - Beef

It’s The Honest Kitchen back again, this time with their Gourmet Whole Food Clusters in Grain Free Beef & Superfoods Recipe. Everything we love about The Honest Kitchen Essentials range, but even better and grain-free!


4. Authority® Everyday Health All Life Stages Dry Dog Food - Chicken & Rice

It’s not too often you’ll find a quality dry dog food with whole meat as the number one ingredient for the same price as many budget brands, but Authority Chicken and Rice manages to hit that mark. The protein levels, omega fatty acids, glucosamine, and moderate kibble size make this food suitable for dogs of all sizes and adult life stages, so it’s perfect for multi-dog households.


5. Nulo Medal Series Baked & Coated Adult Dry Dog Food - Beef, Pork & Lamb

Ideal for working dogs and high-energy breeds that don’t seem to have an off-switch, Nulo’s Medal Series Baked and Coated Dry Dog Food will give them the fuel they need to keep going, and going, and going.
