  Learn to know dog food ingredients - labels and red flags about a variety of foods that manufacturers, breeders and even many veterinarians recommend.  It will pay off in the end.  Below: We have listed important key words to look for in searching for a quality dog food  All Natural, Human Grade,  EU approved ingredients, Hormone -Free, Antibiotic-Free, No By-Products, Non GMO Grains, No Fillers, No Harmful Chemicals, No Preservatives, No Additives, Natural Antioxidents, USDA Inspected, Specific Meats and Meals (As first ingredients).

  A NOTE ABOUT GRAIN FREE – Some quality Grain free food incorporated into a variety diet is not a bad thing. However we are not proponents of feeding a total grain free diet. Legumes make up major part of the protein in the Grain free diet. This legume protein is not sufficient for the protein a dog needs. A dog needs protein from meat. Grain free foods carry High phyto-estrogens, not a good thing. A little does no harm but a lot surely can.The whole key here is meat protein and fat. Ingredients such as peas, chickpeas, lentils, potatoes, white and sweet potatoes, etc are not recommended.
As for meat, quality meat meal is way higher in protein than just meat
How to know a Good, Acceptable  food to feed Foods fed must be free of Corn, Wheat, Soy, and Bi-products,(Any foods that fall under this category the listed categories are acceptable under our purchase contract). However, try to stay away from  an over use of sweet or white potato, Legumes or Lentils (which are heavy in grain-Free Foods) Dogs need meat protein, not plant Proteins 

 BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin, are potentially toxic artificial preservatives that are included in many dog food brands.
  These may cause our pet dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, and poor health, as well as cause adverse effects on liver and kidney functions.
  BHA is Butylated Hydroxyanisole, and BHT, is Butylated Hydroxytoluene, these artificial preservatives are added to oils to slow down deterioration. BHA and BHT (as well as ethoxyquin) are found in numerous pet food brands, including Science Diet (even their prescription diet product line) and lower-grade brands like Alpo and Pedigree, in the place of vitamin E.

Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative (and possible carcinogenic) regulated by the FDA as a pesticide. Not allowed in human foods, it is  used in many pet foods.
