Dog food recommendations

[unsilenceddream]

A question for the masses, or at least those of you with dogs.

I currently feed my dog Iams dog food and have been feeding this since the beginning. I'm wondering about other foods out there with better ingredients that are perhaps more natural. Olivia isn't having any problems with Iams, this is really just out of my own curiosity. If there is something better out there that I could be feeding her, I want to know about it. Also, places that deliver dog food would be welcomed, too. For those of you who do this, is it that much more expensive than picking it up at the store? What are you all feeding? Recommendations are welcomed. Thank you!

LJ cut off my comment. Anyway for reasons on my food choices -- I try to feed something without corn and not a huge wheat content. Yara can't have any wheat, so the foods she's been on are all grain free. I also like that they don't have 10 billion ingredients and the company's aren't big conglomerates and all. Both foods I've used (and Wellness too) can be ordered from PFD and shipped right to you for pretty comparable price (plus the 20% discount for being a guide dog). I'd stay away from anything that doesn't have meat as the first few ingredients - and you want a meat MEAL because just the meat means it's watered down (and thus not really the main ingredient).

Anyway, that's my thoughts on kibbles. I definitely am a supporter of raw, but it can be pricey and inconvenient to get if you don't have a local store or butcher you trust. Nature's Variety actually has a WONDERFUL frozen raw line, but the closest store to me is not really on a busline and over $30 for a cab back and forth.

Thank you! I really do appreciate your input. I don't know if I'm brave enough to try raw. Haha!
