In clarification of the last list:
This article is confined to a discussion of so called "premium" dog foods, a classification we've established that includes those foods that are priced at $1 per pound and up, and supposedly contain ingredients that surpass in quality the lower priced brands. Our analysis found that there are BIG differences in the premium category. High prices don't neccessarily mean high nutritional value. And some so called 'premium' vendors still use artificial preservatives and coloring.
Their 3 top pics in this category was California Natural, Flint River and PetGuard Lifespan.
