The commercial production of dog food occurred around World War II times when shortages and rationing were common place and it was no longer economical to feed the dog from the same table as it's owners. The gap was filled with commercial dog food produced from ingredients that were deemed unfit for human consumption and would have been discarded as waste previously. Manufacturers learned to chop it up, compress it into kibble, flavor it to be more palatable and color it to look edible. To make a brief comparison of dog foods one can classify them into three main groups: "Buy Anywhere Brands", "Premium Brands" and "Holistic" Buy Anywhere Brands - These are the dog food brands that can be found in...

Studies have, for example, proven again and again that wild, Alaskan salmon is incredibly healthy for us (unlike farm raised salmon, which has considerable toxin levels), largely though not solely because of the high salmon omega 3 levels.
