Question
hi, i have a 3 yr. old english bulldog, and i would like to know what the best kind of food to feed her?

Answer
As far as I know, most of the common brands are fine.  I see thousands of dogs in a dog guide program that mostly eat Pro Plan and are all doing fine.  Other programs seem to do well with Iams.  If anything, I see more questions here with people having problems that are feeding the more expensive brands.  

If you have been feeding one of the common brands and your dog is doing OK, I would stick with it.  I don't really push any brand in particular, but then I am not selling any of them either.  

I do suggest a dry kibble.  It exercises the jaws and teeth and helps scrape off decay and odor causing tartar.  it is alos easy to measure out the precise amount you have found your dog needs.  Go to http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx to learn how to determine how much to feed your dog.
