Top 4 best dog food companies

Wellness

Wellness started as a small family company in 1970. It has since grown into one of the truly great pet food brands on the market. Their uncompromising approach to quality ingredients results in healthy pets and noticeable reductions in allergies and other problems when changing from other foods.  Like many of the premium foods examined here, Wellness is one of the pricier brands on the market. That said, you really do get what you pay for with Wellness.

Taste of the Wild

Grain free, uncommon protein sources, excellent ingredients overall. The company quickly resolved a salmonella problem in 2012. TotW has committed to provide dog food that fulfills the instinctual cravings of a wild dog. This brand also includes eggs for a thick, luxurious coat.
  

Holistic Select

Holistic puts great emphasis on digestibility with probiotics, natural fiber, and digestive enzymes. Holistic employs quality standards that exceed those set by government regulation. Each product features meat from a single source (chicken formula only has chicken in it) for animals who are allergic to specific meats.
  

Blue Buffalo

BB packs a lot of protein into their puppy food. They also include “life source bits” which are pieces of food that are “cold formed”, a process that forms the kibble without damaging the nutritional value of the food with the high temperatures of normal processing. They have some controversial ingredients like carrageenan and caramel coloring in certain varieties, but these are in very limited quantities. Overall a very high quality food.
