1st Vet and Dog Food

When we got our little buddy one of the first places we took him to get checked out etc was the downtown pet hospital. This is a very nice place that was amazingly close to where i lived so at first it was perfect.
Of-course we good service comes the price so every visit ended up to be about $100 - $150 which is OK in the beginning because you worry about your little guy.

There was only one think that caught my attention and that i started to research.

Little Story about choosing dog food

At first from all the puppy books that i had read the one think that i found out for dog food is that Dry food is better then Wet food
(Wet food/canned food is the worst dog food) and that a puppy needs as much protein as possible and in general for the first year as much food as possible (i fed him three times a day)
Thus i started with Walmart where i used to buy most of my food and stuff in general. In Walmart i found Rachael Ray puppy chow which had a good quantity (% wise) of protein out of meat products.

Then 

The Vet in Downtown Pet hospital gave us a puppy pack from science diet for free. I really enjoyed that (of course for $150 visit i expect a little something lol) . So i switched my puppy to science diet.

But then


I found http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com which gave reviews on all the dog food you could think of. What I can say is WOW do you learn alot!

Rachael Ray
"Overall, this appears to be a very low quality dog food, with minimal meat content and many low grade ingredients. There is no risk that it will be awarded a better than 2* rating."




Science Diet

Pros: Cons: Insufficient meat content, by-products, fat of unidentifiable source, low quality grains and other controversial filler.

Thus in the end to summarize this story
the dog food he told me was bad. Then i said the name of another dog food that is a 5 star dog food and he was completely against it. Can you guess what dog food they sold at that vet ?

well shortly after i switched Vets :)

that will be another post
