Dog food

Annamaet Encore dry kibble.

Side question: Does anyone feed their adult dog exclusvely dry kibble, or is it better to mix in some wet food as well?

Costco brand is pretty decent. I currently feed mine Solid Gold Leaping Waters but we have done Ziwipeak, Origen, Taste of the Wild, Blue Buffalo and Acana in the past.

You don't trust Tufts veterinarians about dog nutrition but you do trust some random human dentist about dog food?


ooooohkay.

Vets don't "push " food. They usually offer a brand in their office, but it's part of their retail, and literally no one pushes it.

For the naysayers referring to Dog Food Advisor bring run by a dentist, blah, blah, blah, yes, certain organizations do make a real effort to evaluate pet food on a number of levels. And these organizations are pretty good!

These are good sources.
