As a dog lover and proud owner of 4 dogs (2 Dachshunds, a Chihuahua and a French Bulldog) it is important to me to give my dogs the best possible dry dog food at the best possible price. For me, that is Diamond Naturals Dry Dog Food. My dogs love it and they produce less doggie poo when eating it which is a true testament to its nutritional value (foods with more filler than nutritional value produce lots of doggie poo).
Diamond Naturals is MADE IN THE USA (by Diamond Pet Foods based in Meta, MO), contains no wheat, corn, or soy (which are known to cause allergies and skin issues in dogs) and has meat and meat meal (which contains 300% more protein than fresh meat) as leading ingredients (what kind of meat depending on what flavor dog food you're buying). Diamond Naturals Senior 8+ Formula is nutritionally balanced and has omegas for skin and coat, antioxidants, glucosamine and chondroitin to help support older dogs' joints, and is calorically balanced to help maintain a healthy weight. It is also highly recommended on DogFoodAdvisor.com.
DogFoodAdvisor.com "obsesses over dog food so you don't have to". They read and interpret government-regulated pet food labels using them to estimate the meat, fat, and carbohydrate contents of dog foods as well as noting anything suspicious. They also examine the nutritional aspects of the ingredients, making note of certain things like a food containing chelated minerals that have been chemically attached to protein making them easier to absorb, or a food containing prebiotics and probiotics that enhance a dog's digestive and immune system. FYI, Diamond Naturals Dry Dog Foods does contain chelated minerals and prebiotics, but no probiotics.
RATING ON DOGFOODADVISOR.COM: Diamond Naturals Dry Dog Foods (a product line containing 12 dry dog foods) earned 4 out of 5 stars, making it an above average dog food that they highly recommend. (In general, a five star dog food is one that is high in meat content and free of any by-products, suspicious chemicals or plant-based protein boosters.)
