Aubridge Goldens recommends feeding grain inclusive formulations from Purina Pro Plan or Royal Canin (PPP large breed puppy kibble, PPP all life stages kibble, PPP sensitive skin and stomach kibble, canned PPP as a topper, or RC prescription gastrointestinal low fat canned). Both of these companies have done extensive research and have quality controls that appropriately address the questions outlined for the best pet foods. Those include employing doctoral level nutritionists who formulate the diet, having quality controls procedures that can detect problems, conduct research that helps optimize canine nutrition, and make their own food. The outbreak of nutritional heart disease in dogs is still under investigation by the FDA and that is a great concern which needs to be addressed and officially resolved. Yet with the fancy and misleading advertising, the public is continues to get misinformed and – with best of all intentions (feeding fancy and expensive dog foods) – are potentially causing dogs harm or even death.
