Whats the best dogfood/diet for my 5 month old female akita including supplements
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.
Of course, at this stage in life, she'll need food formulated for puppies to help her grow. (Nearly all brands of dog food make "puppy food" in additional to their regular foods.)
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):
Chicken Soup Brand - http://www.chickensoupforthepetloverssou...
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.
