Hi,
Age would be a factor. Condition of coat and dog overall may dictate a better food verses a middle ground food. Are you limited as to how much you can spend on food or can you afford to feed the best , or at least middle ground?
Also, are you planning on going grain free or RAW or prepared raw? *THE BEST* is open for interpretation these days! Then there area mixture of all or some of those too. Lil-Lea gets Orijen dry and People food for her basic diet and I supplement that with 3 ounces of NV prepared raw lamb or chicken a few times a week, to make sure she gets the nutrients she needs.
Also, the word *safe *er* is better than to use the word Safe in todays times.
Dry or wet is really a preference of the feeder, but picking a brand according to the *ingredients* is much more important than dry or wet.
There are pros and cons as to dry and wet. Some say dry is better because of the wet food sticking to teeth and causing earlier teeth issues. Others say wet is better because dry *Swells* in the stomach. Some say forget the commercials foods, and feed BARF~ and say that prepared raw is still commercial foods and others say it is not and some want to deal with neither of the raws! Some cook for their dogs totally and do nutrient supplements!
What can you tell us as to your knowledge of good and bad ingredients and what you know about foods and feel about them yourself ? Then we can get some idea about how much you know about food facts in general ?
That will help us to be able to steer you in a direction that your are interested in going in or steer you away from a not so good direction
