Which of these 3 brand dog foods is better and healthier to feed to a dog,(Canidae,Beneful,or Scienc2007-11-25 2:55:38

Science diet uses corn meal as the second ingredient (ingredients are listed according to how much of the ingredient is in the food). It also has five grain sources compared to three meat sources (one being chicken by-product meal and one being unspecified animal fat).

Beneful is the worst of these three. The very first ingredient is ground yellow corn, meaning that there is more ground yellow corn than any other single ingredient. It also has only three meat sources (one of them being beef tallow...ie fat and one of them being chicken by-product meal) to five grain sources. Plus it has salt, sugar, and artificial coloring. Any food containing salt, sugar, and artificial colorings is bad news in my book.

If you do any minute amount of research, you'd find that Beneful and Science Diet are CRAP. they are filled with "fillers" (i.e. Corn, Wheat, Wheat Gluten, Soy, and Meat-by-products). Canidae is MUCH better. It is human-grade, NO fillers or Grains, and is holistic. I would say any "Name Brand" like Pedigree, Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, Beneful or Science Diet is horrible. It's like feeding your children McDonald's every day. Yeah, they eat it, it tastes good, but its JUNK.

I feed a mixture of Canidae and Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Grain Free.

Look on the label. If the first ingredient is Corn, Soy, Wheat/Wheat Gluten, Chicken By products, or even "Chicken" then its NO GOOD. If it says "Chicken" or "Beef" its still not good because this means it could be any part of a chicken. Most dog food companies use all the leftover parts of meat that humans don't consume. Why would this be ok for a carnivore? Wolves eat the GOOD parts, like muscle meat and organs. The major dog food companies are putting chicken bones and feathers in the food and calling that "Chicken" meat. Thats SOOOO Wrong.
