What is a good diet for a lhasa apso

Would cooking meals for my lhasa apso be better than buying the dry kibble? What type of meals will be good? Should I give her rice?

Some people swear by cooking or doing raw diets for their dogs. This is not for me. I do not feel, with my schedule and cooking ability, that I would be able to provide the balanced meals for my dog. I recommend going with high-quality, nutritional, kibble.

Read the ingredients on the food you buy. Go with a high quality dog food. A grain should not be in the first couple ingredients ingredient (corn and such are mainly fillers, dogs don't digest it well). Avoid foods that have a lot of "by products" listed.

Beware "premium" foods. "Premium" does not mean good nutritionally, and is not a nutritionally high quality food. It has the same types of ingredients as grocery store foods, just a bit better quality of those not-so-good ingredients. Premium foods are those like Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, etc..

Here are some good foods (these are just a few, there are definitely more brands out there that are quality dog food, but it will give you an idea of the ingredients to look for):

Merrick - http://www.merrickpetcare.com/

Innova - http://www.naturapet.com/brands/innova.a...

Or check this website to find GOOD dog foods, not full of fillers and byproducts, they rate dog foods based on the ingredients, 6 being the best. I would recommend feeding only 4+ star foods. Any food 3 stars or less, I would avoid.
