Interested in the worst dog food brands? Ingredients separate the worst dog food brands from the best dog food brands. Lets take a look at what make a dog food brand the worst dog food brand:

  • By-Products
  • Non specefic animal source
  • Contains BHA, BHT, or ethoxyquin

    Hi – I am shocked Eukanuba is not rated best anymore after some days researching and hearing from local pet shop P&G has bought them out and lowered the standard ingredients but kept the name for us not followers each month/year our dogs consume.Its like the rug has been pulled from under my feet, I don’t like it and P&G will not get my business for pulling stunt like this! Now, many sites list “best of the best” dog foods but weary who’s behind these sites and locally in Ontario, Canada cannot get same brands which are listed, so now what? Next step, see how much shipping costs from these online retailers until the costs put me in poor house and then I will have to buy “least” expensive locally by products food all over again?

    I am also shocked that Eukanuba is rated worst on many websites. Simply because it used to have such a good reputation and even worse, MIRA dogs (Quebec special trained dogs for those with disabilities) are fed on a Eukanuba diet. That is rather concerning.
