Processed Dog Foods
Walk down any pet food aisle in a local pet store or retail store and you'll be surprised at the number of dog food brands available. While some are old standards in the dog food business, there are always new brands from which to choose. How do you decide which foods are healthy for your dog, and which ones aren't?

Healthy Foods
Processed dog food should consist of approximately 10 percent carbohydrates, 40 percent meat and 50 percent vegetables. When reading the label on a can or bag of dog food, the first items listed should be meat protein, followed by vegetables and then carbohydrates. While carbohydrates do provide sustainable energy for animals, many dog manufacturers use ground meals. Whole grains are the healthiest for your pet. Keep in mind though that corn is not very digestible for dogs, so avoid foods that have a high corn or cornmeal content.

The following food items are considered healthy for your dog:

Chicken
Lamb
Beef
Venison
Rolled oats
Barley
Millet
Brown rice
Quinoa

Hidden Fillers and Unhealthy Foods
Most dog food manufacturers put fillers in their pet foods. Most fillers aren't dangerous to your pet, but they usually don't add any nutritional value to the food either. Fillers that are commonly found in dog food are cornmeal, oatmeal and flour. When dogs are given filler ratios that are higher than 10 percent of the total food mix, it may cause stomach upsets.

Allergens and Preservatives
Items commonly found in commercially prepared dog foods that are known allergens and preservatives are:

Wheat
Cornmeal
Corn
White flour
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
Ethoxyquin
Any or all of these items can pose a health hazard to your pet. If you notice that your dog is drooling or acting extremely lethargic after eating commercial pet food, seek the advice of your vet immediately. Animals can suffer from kidney failure or other serious health problems if they have an allergic reaction to their food.

Known Dog Food Dangers
Just because certain foods are safe for humans, it doesn't mean that they are good for dogs. Certain foods can be dangerous and deadly. Dog food dangers that should be always be avoided include:

Chocolate
Onions
Grapes
Raisins
If your pet consumes any of these food items, call your vet immediately; this especially true if your dog eats chocolate.

Homemade Healthy Dog Food
For some pet owners, making their own healthy dog food from scratch is the best way for them to feed their animals. This is one way to know exactly what your pet is eating. There are plenty of books and websites that provide information on making your own pet food. Check out the following books available through major retail stores:

Real Food for Dogs: 50 Vet Approved Recipes to Please the Canine Gastronome by Arden Moore and Anne Davis
Raw Dog Food: Make it Easy for You and Your Dog by Carina Beth MacDonald
The Good Food Cookbook for Dogs: 50 Home-Cooked Recipes for the Health and Happiness of Your Canine Companion by Donna Twichell Roberts
Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog by Wendy Volhard and Kerry Brown
Barker's Grub: Easy, Wholesome Home-Cooking for Dogs by Rudy Edalati

Many pet owners find that preparing their own foods and pet snacks is an easy way to make sure their pets are getting the best nutrition. If you are unsure about the safety of the pet food your animal is eating, try making a few batches of pet food in your kitchen. You may find that it is easier, and less expensive, than you think!

Chicken-by-product Meal consists of the rendered, clean parts of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice. Chicken by-product meal is an inferior source of protein for dogs. Is there a difference between Chicken-by-product Meal and Chicken Meal? Yes, Chicken Meal is usually chicken meat and bones ground up, however Chicken Meal is still an inferior source of protein, the label should say Chicken or Chicken Meat.

Corn Gluten Meal is a by-product of corn through the wet milling process. Corn gluten is added to absorb the toxins that may be in the rendered parts when added to the cooking process. Corn is the #3 cause of allergies in dogs. Dogs do not digest corn well and would not eat corn in the wild. Corn gluten is a cheap source of protein and is used by many companies as a filler.

@Wisi:
Nutro Choice haut mich auch nicht um- ist eher ein Mittelklassefutter.

Ich fuettere eigentlich roh, und schon seit Jahren, aber aus Ermangelung an einer guten Fleischquelle geb ich im Moment allerdings auch Trockenfutter und nur zweimal pro Woche roh.

Im Petsmart hab ich keine einzige Futtersorte gefunden, die mir zugesagt haette....
Ich besorge das Futter in einem kleinen Tierladen hier in der Naehe, die nur gute Marken fuehren- dafuer haben sie nur etwa 6 Marken.
Momentan gebe ich Canidae und Innova Evo. Und zweimal pro Woche roh.
Wenn man die Zusammensetzungen vergleicht, liegen nochmal Welten zwischen Innova Evo und Nutro.

Hier kann man sich ueber Futter informieren, was drin ist, was drin sein sollte und was sich hinter was verbirgt

Hund und Futter
alles Wissenswerte zu Zusammensetzungen.

Eigentlich fuettere ich aus Ueberzeugung Roh, aber seit meinem Umzug in die USA hab ich keine gute Fleischquellen mehr.
Jetzt gibts noch etwa 2 mal pro Woche roh ( meist Gefluegel aus dem Supermarkt) und ansonsten Innova Evo und Canidae.
Leckerlies backe ich meistens auch selbst- meine Hunde fressen keine Leckerlies, wenn die nicht mindestens zur Haelfte aus Fleisch bestehen, und welche industriell gefertigten Leckerlies haben schon so viel Fleisch?
Noch dazu ist in den meisten gekauften Sachen Weizenmehl ohne Ende und auch Zucker swoe pflanzliche und tierische Nebenerzeugnisse. Und sowas fuetter ich meinen Hunden nicht.
Ich hab gestern einen Food dehydrator bestellt, da will ich dann versuchen, Trockenfleisch als Leckerlies herzustellen.

Wir füttern auch roh, also Rind (wir haben einen Schlachter in der Nähe, frisches gutes Rinderhack 1,89$/lb), Huhn oder Pute, Reis und dann Obst und Gemüse der Saison.

Leckerlies kaufen wir milkbones oder so eine natürliche Hundewurst vom Petsmart, in letzter Zeit nehmen wir aber lieber kleine Käsestückchen. Das liebt er absolut!
Ich habe aber auch schon Tunfisch- oder Leberplätzchen gebacken.

Miezies kriegen Bozita Nassfutter und Hills Trockenfutter.
Leckerlies: mal rohes Fleisch wenn ich koche (missbrauchen sie aber sehr oft einfach nur als Spielzeug) und die kleinen Hills Nassfutter Döschen. Die wären mir als normales Futter zu teuer.

Was ist denn ein gutes Katzenfutter in USA (Nass) dass nicht zu teuer ist? Jemand ne Ahnung?

Avoderm und Nutro schneidet bei nassem Katzenfutter recht gut ab, wenn man keinen Anbieter findet, der Rohfutter verkauft.

Ich steige jetzt von Hill's Science Trockenfutter auf Avoderm Trockenfutter um ;)
