Our unique survey insights reveal which dog food brands are loved by Which? members, offering the best value for money, quality and an enthusiastic response from your canine companions. On the whole, the Lily’s Kitchen dog food range is received very well by its customers –both dogs and their owners! Commercial options are a safer bet for nutrition. The PFMA says that commercially prepared raw dog food marked as ‘complete’ meets the guidelines to provide the nutritional balance a dog needs in their daily diet. However, the BVA warns that it can be difficult to do it well and, unless you work with a veterinary-trained nutritionist, there's a risk of harm to your pet’s health. Do dogs need different food as they get older? However, the BVA adds that 'each pet has its own needs, so diet should be adapted to your pet's lifestyle, age, breed and any health conditions. We advise people to speak with their vet when they get a new pet'.Weight-related problems can range from musculoskeletal conditions to breathing issues and diabetes, among others. The PAW report also estimated that around half of the overweight and obese dogs had health issues which could be related to their weight. Choosing the right food can make all the difference to the health and happiness of your pet, but it can be difficult to work out what’s actually best for your pet.

If your pup is happily enjoying their food with ease, you can build this into their daily feed. However, remember pups only have tiny stomachs and so little and often is the best approach. There's some debate regarding whether one is better than the other. The BVA says: 'There is not enough evidence to recommend one over the other; there are advantages to both. A vet will be able to recommend the most suitable diet.'

The BVA told us: 'We don't recommend a raw food diet, at least without a vet's guidance. This is for two main reasons: the nutritional deficiencies that often come with feeding raw food (eg low taurine in cats or high vitamin A) and the risks associated with handling raw food – both for the pets and the household.' So, as long as you're buying a complete commercial pet food, your dog should be getting all the nutrients they need and you don't need to supplement this with anything else.
