hi,
Folks here feed their dogs different brand names of food, but here's a few things to look for
1. the food is human grade
2. protein is 23 or less and fat 12 or less
3. food that has been baked
4. no corn fillers, instead look for barley, brown rice.
5. the ingredients listed on the packaging are in order by amounts, the first ingredient being the most used and so on down the list. Look for healthy ingredients in the first 7 items.
That's all i can think of, i'm sure there's more... My personal favorite is Wellness by Old Mother Hubbard
