Due to a recent string of lawsuits filed against Blue Buffalo, we wanted to list our current healthy dog food recommendations. 

We actually used to sell Blue Buffalo back when the company was fairly small. As they grew larger, they seemed to make too many cost-saving measures that compromised the quality of their food. This is a common occurrence for many food companies who start out with only the best of intentions.

The Dog Bar welcomes and encourages pet parents to stop by our Miami Beach store for some informed consultation on the best diets for their individual dogs. In the meantime, here is a list of some of our all-time favorite foods based on quality, nutritional value and best business practices:

Please note that even some of the very best pet food companies will conduct voluntary recalls due to a bad batch, even if there's just a small possibility that anything actually left the facility.  The best measure you can take as a consumer is to spend those few extra dollars on smaller-scale companies who focus on quality ingredients and full transparency.
