Default Whats a good dog food?

Hello everyone, I am looking into getting a small pup its a purebred Siberian Husky. I don't know to much about dog foods and was wondering if anyone knows of any good companies that specialize in purebred foods for dogs?

What I have come up with so far is...
1. Commercial dog food is a big no no. Just left overs thats considered unfit for human consumption

Now I am off to find some good companies but not sure where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated.

First of all why is commercial dog food a big no-no? Second of all there is nothing like "pure-breed food", it depends more of the age of the dog and its general health and "work-load" (in case of working dogs) what to feed. Third the person to ask what to feed is the dog breeder, you don't want to change the puppies food to abrupt to avoid problems. And forth but not least a siberian husky is not really a breed to start with if somebody has not a lot of experience with dogs. SY

I have read up that commercial dog is made from all the products that are believed not to be fit for human consumption as stated in my first post.

Where did you read this and what do you mean by "commercial dog food"? SY

Default Good dog food

Meat
Specific types of meat, such as beef meal or chicken by-products, actually come from the type of animal listed but can be slaughterhouse rejects known as the 4d’s - dead, dying, diseased, and disabled animals. The law requires that slaughterhouse rejects be denatured before being sent to rendering plants to insure that they will not be sold for human consumption. Denaturing involves imbuing the meat with highly toxic chemicals.

Often the meat in pet food is listed simply as “meat”, with no animal specified. Meat, meat meal, bone meal, and meat by-products can include cancerous tissue that has been removed from animals, out-of-date meat from grocery stores - still in the wrapper - road kill, and euthanized pets from shelters and veterinarian’s offices. Sodium Pentobarbital, the drug used to euthanize pets, is not reduced, damaged, or deteriorated in any way during the rendering process and goes right into the food. Plastic bags and flea collars are not removed before rendering and also go into the product.
