Despite the variety, dog foods usually fall into three major categories. These categories are: Grocery store foods, which are usually found in grocery stores and mass marketed and may contain lower quality, less expensive ingredients.
The second category of food is premium dog food. This food is unlikely to be found in your local grocery store. The best sources for this type of dog food are your veterinarian's office or local pet store. Usually these foods are more expensive as they are made of higher quality ingredients. However, you still need to be aware of the ingredients in the dog food as some packages will claim to be premium quality when in reality all they are is over priced "discount" grade dog food. Before buying any dog food, weather it be buying dog food online or from a physical store, always be sure to check the ingredients list. Most authentic premium dog food will also say it is human grade dog food.
Homemade dog food is what the final category is called. There are growing numbers of people who are now making their pet's food at home.
