    Exclamation Dry Dog Food

    My dog is going to be 2 years old this coming 30 April
    She is a poodle and is currently living in Thailand with me and my family.

    Her name is Kratiem

    She has been eating dry dog food for approximately a year. The food brand is "Buzz".

    Recently, I found worms inside the dry dog food package; it is a lamb formula.

    So I decided to change the brand of the dog food, but i don't know which brand would be suitable for her.

    So I need some suggestions. It has to be the brand available in Thailand.

    Natural Balance - This is a good brand, but I don't know much about it.
    Eukanuba - Crap food - hyped up to be WAY more than it actually is. Not worth your money.
    Wellness - Out of this list, I'd think Wellness (CORE) would be your best bet.
    Timberwolf - Never heard of it.
    Innova - This is a good brand, but P&G recently bought them, and there's been a lot of debate about whether or not they'll change the formulas.
    Alpo - Beyond crap food.
    Royal Canin - Crap food.
    Science Diet - Crap food.

    HOWEVER, I'm not a kibble expert, so don't take my word for it, but just saying, from my experience on this forum, what I think of these foods.

    Out of the ones mentioned I for sure would NOT feed:
    Anything Science Diet
    Royal Canin
    Alpo
    Eukanuba

    The above foods are just about the worst you can feed when it comes to kibble.

    I would look into the Wellness (can you get Wellness CORE?) and Innova.

    I don't know much about Natural Balance or Timberwolf.

    We feed our GSP (Innova) EVO Turkey & Chicken because it is grainless & has the highest protein level of any dry food out there.

    FYI, there has been NO CHANGE in their formula.

    FYI - "they'll" means "they will," not "they have." And I said "whether or not," not "that they will." Please watch yourself when using "FYI," because it can, and will, be taken offensively.

    I agree with everything above.

    Innova and Wellness Core are probably the superstars on your list. Wellness Core may be more reliable going forward (see above spat on possible future changes to Innova). Although the formula hasn't changed, some people report that they have seen a difference in their dog. I'm not sure how reliable these reports are.

    Natural Balance and Timberwolf are good foods.

    Wellness Super5Mix is ok.

    But you should avoid Eukanuba, Alpo, Royal Canin, and Science Diet.

    One final thought - you might want to rotate between a few formulas.

    ORIJEN ( REGIONAL RED ) is the best dry dog food there is in my opinion

    I voted for Timberwolf as in my opinion its the better one on the list.

    I would also agree with GhostDog that Orijen (all formulas actually) and Acana are great choices. I think Orijen sells worldwide so you just may be able to get in where you are.

    I think "Taste of the wild" is available in Thailand, but this grain free food is kindly pricey there. It should be available at any big pets supplies stores or Thai on-line stores.
