If you ask 100 vets, 100 dog owners, 100 pet store employees you are going to get 300 different answers. It is personal preference and experience with certain brands. There are regular diets, prescription diets, organic diets, grain free diets, weight loss diets, diets for working dogs, etc. What are actually trying to determine? What, for you, is considered "best"? A diet with organic ingredients, an inexpensive diet, a diet with no grains?? I would give a different list for someone who wants their dog to lose weight versus someone who uses their dog for working or shows or someone who wants to feed an organic diet. Any list you get from any of the experts on this forum is just going to be personal preference. So, if you want to post again with more specifics we can try to help you better.

Unfortunately, there is no one "best" food or treat for Snickers. There are higher quality diets such as Acana, Royal Canin, Canidae and a few others. The key to choosing a diet for your dog is to find one that he will eat, that doesn't cause any GI upset and is easy for you to buy. Choose a diet with a named protein source over diets with by-products and meat meals. Also, stay away from store or discount brands as these typically contain low quality ingredients and more fillers. The website www.dogfoodadvisor.com is an excellent resource for comparing diets.

I would recommend trying to order a food off online. There are a lot of companies that will ship you dog food. Even if you cannot find his original brand you can another dry food he might like better than the store brand from the store near by. You can try to buy some canned food too. This might encourage him to eat his new food better. If you absolutely have to you can add a little boiled chicken to motivate him to eat his new food

The key to doing treats while a dog is on an elimination diet is to use treats that have the same ingredients as the food you are trying. Sometimes the easiest way to do this is to use canned food of the variety and flavor that you are using to put in a Kong or bake into treats. Other options would be to use sweet potato chews if the food you are feeding has sweet potatoes in it (which Zignature kangaroo does not) or giving dehydrated chews that are the same meat source that you are feeding (which will be a challenge for a kangaroo food). So, for the food you are feeding right now, the best option may be to use canned Zignature kangaroo to create treats for Lucy. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

This could be a food allergy, but I think it’s more likely an environmental allergy or hypersensitivity (to fleas most likely). Especially if Raider was on the same food for several months with no problem. (If you just switched food, flavor, or treats within 3 weeks of this happening, I am more suspicious of food allergy.) Both of those foods are, as far as I can tell, reputable and of good quality. If you’d like to pursue the food option, choose a “novel protein” meaning, if his previous foods have been mostly chicken and beef, choose a fish, duck, or lamb recipe. If you haven’t already, get the fleas under control and obviously you know to see a vet if it’s not getting better. A medicated shampoo, short course of steroids, and antibiotics if needed might be possible treatments (though there are many others). Best of luck to you and Raider.
