Premium dog foods will not be found at your local grocery store or walmart. I have put Iams Healthy Naturals on the list as it can be found more easily (walmart etc) and is a good food. Pay attention to ingredients as you read labels.
After taste tests and client/breeder feedback we've come up with what we feel are great foods made from quality ingredients and will be free from artificial colors and preservatives. I have found some people like organic, some like holistic, some like lamb etc.
