Orijen
-
According to ConsumersSearch.com and DogFoodAnalysis.com, Canada-based Orijen, made by Champion Petfoods, is the best dry dog food on the market. Orijen has a very high protein content, has no fillers and incorporates high-quality carbohydrate sources such as potatoes. Additionally, all of the ingredients are high in quality and fit for human consumption, compared to most kibbles, which use meats that are otherwise deemed unfit for human consumption. On the downside, Orijen can be hard to find.

Innova EVO
-
ConsumerSearch.com and DogFoodReviews.com both rank Innova EVO, made by Natura Brand, as one of the best dog foods on the market. Innova EVO has a high meat content, no grains and no fillers. It's also formulated to replicate the kind of diet a dog would have in the wild, meaning it is mostly meat-based, though it does also contain marginal amounts of fruits, vegetables, eggs and probiotics. On the negative side, Innova EVO is expensive and can be difficult to locate.

Wellness
-
Wellness is also ranked as one of the best dog foods by DogFoodAnalysis.com. Wellness is a high-meat, high-protein and grainless dog food that is ethoxyquin-free. On the upside, Wellness is affordable and more readily available than Orijen and Innova EVO, but on the downside, it contains some natural fillers, such as tomato fiber. It also uses canola oil rather than fish oil, which is rich in omega 3 &6 fatty acids but is otherwise still a high-quality dog food.
