When it comes to buying food for your adult dog, the choices can be overwhelming, with hundreds of options seemingly all promising different things. Moreover, dog food labels aren’t exactly easy to understand. They lack the simple nutrition panel we’re used to on our own food, there may be unusual-sounding ingredients, and dogs have different nutritional requirements than we do.
“Reading a pet food label can be very confusing,” says Veronica Higgs, DVM, a Chewy veterinarian.
When you’re looking to pick the best food for your dog, your vet or a veterinary nutritionist is a great place to start. They can recommend the optimal diet based on your dog’s breed, health status, and life stage.
To come up with our list of best dog foods for healthy adult dogs, we mined sales data at Chewy to see which foods our millions of pet parents like the most, evaluated the ingredient list and nutrition panels of dozens of dog foods, looked at available research on dog food, and asked our panel of veterinarians for their clinical opinions.
The result is this selection of high-quality adult dog foods you can trust to provide excellent nutrition.
