There is no "best" dog food. If you ask 100 people what the "best" food is, you will get 100 answers, none of them wrong.
The brand that one dog loves, another dog will hate. The brand that one dog thrives on will make another dog ill.
I own a boarding kennel, and I see dog fed everything under the sun. I board a seventeen year old lab/pit mix that has eaten nothing but Ol' Roy (very cheap food) his whole life. He is very healthy and happy, and going strong at a very old age. I also boarded a schnauzer that ate nothing but the best brands of food, and died at six years of age from kidney failure. Food is not necesarily the end all be all of a healthy dog.
I personally look for a food with meat as the first ingredients, as opposed to grains. I don't feed the cheapest stuff, but neither do I always spend a small fortune on each bag of food.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
