What is the best dog food?

Written by Tommy |

The answer to the above question is subjective and depends on your own preference and that of your dog. We’ve made an overview of the most popular diets in every category, using our extensive range of dog foods.

The best dry food for dogs

There are various types of dry dog food, and the best choice for your dog depends on their individual needs and preferences. You can choose between crunchy kibble (extruded) and cold-pressed kibble. Crunchy kibble is lighter and has a harder texture, while cold-pressed kibble is more compact and often takes up less volume.

Kibble also varies widely in composition. Some are made with fresh meat, while others use meat meal. The quality of the ingredients—such as the source of proteins, fats, and added vitamins—greatly influences digestibility and nutritional value. Choosing the right kibble is therefore a personal decision that should be based on your dog’s age, weight, activity level, and any health concerns.

The best wet food for dogs

Wet food comes in different forms. There are chunks of meat in gravy, which appeal due to their aroma and flavour, and steamed meat in a firmer form, which is often closer to natural food and easier to portion. Both types can be given as a complete meal or as a supplement to dry food. As with kibble, pay close attention to the ingredients and check whether the wet food is nutritionally complete for daily use.

The best hypoallergenic diet

A good hypoallergenic diet depends on the type of protein. When choosing a hypoallergenic diet, keep an eye on what protein the food is based on. Are you not yet sure what protein your dog is allergic to or has an intolerance for? Choosing a diet based on a completely new protein or a diet with hydrolysed proteins might be your best bet. Examples of hypoallergenic diets are:
