10 Vet Recommended Dog Food Brands (That are Inexpensive) (2022)

[@Behappyness55]

This is a GREAT LIST OF WHAT TO AVOID !! All VET RECOMMENDED MEANS IS THE VET WAS PAID BY THAT DOG FOOD COMPANY TO RECOMMEND THAT CRAPPY DOG FOOD.

[@dw1284]

Agree. It just keeps you bringing your pet back to them for care

[@melissaortiz7274]

So what do u recommend?

[@Behappyness55]

What do wolves eat? Dogs have the same digestive tract, same teeth and desire for RAW MEAT.

[@celinaortega6886]

Can you please recommend a dog food brand please I'm here at PetSmart thank you so much

[@audreygullas8728]

That's wjat I think too. Just like doctors and their pills ! Lol seriously. Science dog food sucks, so that's why I turned it off.

[@Tailsnpaws]

This must be a joke review. Most of these on the list are really poor choices for nutrition.

[@calico1208]

Agree. It’s like just randomly reading a list he found online without even researching for the ingredients of those list he mentioned.

[@JMango]

They’re paid right out of vet school to recommend certain brands that help pay for their schooling, usually science diet is what I hear them recommend.

[@angeladifruscia]

Literally, half of these don't even make sense compared to eachother. Compare Orijen to Royal Canin on your own time, their is not comparison

[@laurens.7564]

According to what? What are your credentials?

[@Tailsnpaws]

@@laurens.7564 with degrees in nutrition, animal sciences and biology I assure you I can tell the differences among marketing ploys, poor cheap fillers and real nutrition. The brands listed in this article are definitely NOT something I would feed my dog.

[@sammatsusaka823]

WTF??? ORIJEN inexpensive? TOP 3 Dog Food, you pay Premium Price.

[@TamerlaneOscar]

I really thought in the beginning of the video that he knows what he is talking about. But damn! Everything on this list is shit!

[@JosephReference]

isn't the top 3 like, the same as big pharma where they give those vet places free dog food so they will promote their products as "best" so those companies just paid their way into vet recommendations.

[@AceRunnin]

this is correct

[@jumpeven6100]

lamb,chicken medium rare steaks , sweet potoes,oats .,brown rice, brocali,carrots spinish ,egg yolks. and my pugs enjoy it.

[@007jhagga]

dogs dont eat grains.just meat.

[@kittoko9]

Just make your dog food yourself, just like when you cook your own food

[@msd5808]

I thought Royal Canin was one of the expensive ones

[@Aaron-ox8ye]

You forgot the headline inexpensive

[@MikeCormack-q9i]

Wonder why Nature's Choice wasn't included? Grain free, inexpensive, and very healthy.

[@jumpeven6100]

i have a pug that is 9 years old and with no issue till a year later i started to give him those dentalsticks treats, now its been having seizers due to toxins in some dog food that these companies sell. i started to change dog food .hoping to find a more safer product.

[@kristendietz2022]

Orijen is the best as kibble can be...but it is NOT affordable.

[@SCAMATICS777]

yea you said inexpensive this shit is $96 for a 25lb bag

[@palafox2237]

It's also been linked to fatal heart condition, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). It's one of 16 brands linked to this heart disease, many of them being the high dollar brands.

[@JayP7.62]

Orijen has gone down hill is the last 5 years or so. I wouldn’t waste my money on it.

[@spotliterrr]

We have compared Purina ProPlan to Purina One. They are very similar. Why did P One not make your list?

[@angeladifruscia]

Because they are both garbage.

[@neneluvssu]

this better be some joke because no wayy😃

[@cipikacipiki5703]

Could someone give me recommendation ? Mine is shihtzu 10month old 🙏🏼 I've been giving her royal cannin mini indoor and lately change it to royal canin mini mother starter. And for me, RC is expensive 😵‍💫 *I've read all the comment, and kinda scare. (Sorry i'm not good in english)

[@barbarawolcott6999]

Two of the vets I have gone to have recommended Purina Pro Plan. It’s not cheap…$20 a small bag.

[@Behappyness55]

Of course pro plan is not cheap because vets are paid to recommend the crap product that just about killed my dog.

[@Linda-di2es]

It has crappy ingredients mostly fillers

[@carryeveryday910]

@@Behappyness55Pro Plan is highly regarded as one of the best dog foods around lol that’s why it is recommended.

[@Joeytheknife905]

The only good food on here is orjen

[@Cruzan9]

I have been researching dog food until I'm blue in the face. There's only one in this entire list that made it past my initial list but not on my final list. It's not because I didn't like it, I just liked some others better.

[@erikadamiano8572]

Orijen. I am researching right now. So hard

[@sonnyanaya1877]

Did you decide on anything? Ive been giving my dog purina one chicken and rice and I keep hearing it not good so im looking to switch it up. I have two adult golden retrievers.

[@vaughn257]

I'm in the same boat as you is ridiculous how hard it is to find a dog food company that you can trust. What did you end up with?

[@Cruzan9]

@vaughn257 I've narrowed it down to Nom Nom and The Farmer's Dog. I am also considering Badland Ranch. I'm researching it this weekend. I started researching dog food months ago, and I'm running out of time. I get the pup in 2 weeks. 😱

[@vaughn257]

@@Cruzan9 yeah it's hard I want the best for my baby I've been making his food for the last week trying to find a safe food for him. Keep me updated please.

[@thegrantdanielsband]

Purina has a big recall now what kind of a joke site is this???????????

[@nainnub1]

WHO pays these people to say this BULL crap

[@mattue84]

...glanced at the list and said helll no! Look at the ingredients out of the top 5, 4 of them have horrible fillers and ingredients that is Harmful. Avoid all these

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

What's your recommendation? Getting sick of paying $90 for pro plan

[@007jhagga]

fish ,chicken,red meats and organs from animals that is the best dog diet, and no grains,they are cousins of wolfes with the same digestive tract,

[@AudiophileTubes]

INEXPENSIVE???!!!! Not these days!!!

[@DS-ky9dl]

Science diet is rated one of the worst foods by other canine nutritionists...you rate it first?? Yikes. You need to do more research!!!! Is this April Fools?

[@teej4156]

Royal Canin's first ingredient is chicken by-product. How can that be recommended? So tired of trying to find a good source of dog food that doesn't have a bunch of nonsense crap in it.

[@kaiserpuppydog7174]

Royal Canine is inexpensive?!! 😂🤣😄

[@crazypsychoamy1021]

No shit on that one. 10lb bags almost 60.00.

[@larryoryan3042]

It also has bi - products...no list of what is in it....not good

[@jiggygino2855]

I stopped watching the video after the third one he mentioned. All terrible choices. This guy must clearly be sponsored by those companies because no one would buy those brands if you knew what the ingredients were.

[@Baolapao]

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@thomnedell430]

I agree, this is the first review I've seen that recommends Science diet.

[@dekzan]

I stopped at #1

[@irinashioshvili7003]

Thanks for the info 😊👍🐕

[@BadKittyNoMilk]

From the video I can cannot tell if these are wet or dry dog foods Can you mention this or show what the dogs are eating so viewers can see if the food you’re talking about is dry or wet? It’s briefly mentioned however I have. I idea. Dry dog food is garbage. Wet is the way to go. So which is it? Thank you

[@congatone]

Alot of foods on this list are garbage n the good ones are overpriced

[@simhifree2416]

Thank you

[@vaughanhouston3142]

[@davidlefebvre6988]

You lost me as soon as you said Royal Canin. Its not as good as they portray to be. Its allllll fillers.

[@blakedelbridge9546]

#2 Royal Canin when their main product is chicken by-product meal… awful list 👎🏼 edit: also over $100 for some bags. yawn

[@Sam-n2f5q]

Dog food cos the same as human food. So why u even bother to feed your dog total rubbish. And gives your dog the runs .all dog food should be band

[@Bullybredkennels2022]

If a vet recommended i don’t go for it if they trynna talk Purina n hills science nah u ain’t gonna keep having my dogs in ur vet cause u want to knowingly recommend trash food. I’ve had convo with vets not even know what I feed or ask but recommend it lol 😂 I wouldn’t pay attention to this video ither smh u giving people the same trash list they will give shame shame shame y not recommend fresh food instead of trash. That will probably take them out of buisness

@@reynaldomeade9990 You always want to look at the ingredient panel on the back. The ingredients are listed from most to least and the rule is that after salt those ingredients only make up 2% of the food. You also want to look at how much synthetic minerals and vitamins are put into the food.

[@OuchOuchMyNutz]

You lost me from the get go…Hills and Royal Canin?! 🤡

[@Lic.SashaRodriguez]

That’s what I though. He said those two and I quit the video…

[@thomasmapolie4760]

guys please help me understand why you say so? I'm thinking of switching from Orijen to a different brand as it's heavy on the pocket $$$ but people have been telling me to go with Hills.

[@Behappyness55]

If you won’t eat it then don’t feed it to them !!!

[@kingcam0775]

That's stupid.

[@ginawarren9885]

Hills and Royal Canin are junk.

[@TheRedtaz]

Science diet, Royal Canine, Iams, Eukanuba Purina, are completely garbage and very expensive. A breeder told me those companies pay vetanarians to say those foods are the best, but they have some ingredients that are junk.

[@CaffeineInjected]

INEXPENSIVE LMAO. I don't think you know what that word means.

[@RuthlessPumpkin]

The first two use some of the lowest amounts of meats and animal proteins, and they use a lot of fillers and corn. Most of these brands use more filler and then just charge more. This was disappointing

[@carlmartin9656]

Origen is very good food. But inexpensive? Not ! 25 lbs $100

[@Maspets]

It's not vet-reccomended either.

[@ishouldbesleeping1354]

I cook a pkg of fresh chicken Tenders everyday at 7.00 per day and kibble for vitamins and some fresh veg every few days … that is WAY more than Origen. My son uses Origen can and kibble and his dog likes it ( after trying more than we want to discuss ) and we are both right. Do as you can for your family. My pets always exceed their mortality averages and that is PRICELESS. Just do what you feel is right, because most dogs adapt.

[@gracierose3076]

When our Dog was a puppy the breeder said to feed her Eukanuba I was shocked to see it was made by Iams. I want to try a different one but everyone has a different idea, Now I'm not sure. I mean, this video is one person's idea. Guess I will go read the bags. I am looking for high protein not cooked out!

[@SandyWeinstein]

there are only a couple that i would feed my dog, several have had lots of recalls, especially science diet.

[@shortbat9325]

Not to mention almost all of Science Diet foods (and a lot of the foods listed here) contain corn and wheat. Corn and corn meal turns straight into sugar. Even humans don't get much nutritional value out of corn, and our fur babies are no different.

[@josieshepherd2483]

What do you recommend?

[@shortbat9325]

@@josieshepherd2483 I currently feed my girls Taste of the Wild Ancient Prairie w/Ancient Grains. Ingredients: water buffalo, pork, chicken meal, grain sorghum, millet, chicken fat, pearled barley, roasted bison, roasted venison, and more goodies for my girls. I'd also suggest Honest Kitchen if you can afford it. I used to feed my girls Honest Kitchen but going through 3 $90 bags a month got to be too expensive for me. I fed them the Whole Grain Beef & Oat Recipe which has less than 15 ingredients (not including vitamins and minerals) and all of them are proteins, veggies, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats.

Nothing like taste of the wild...

[@theaarongarcia]

My problem with Taste of The Wild is all the synthetic vitamins and minerals in the food. All those synthetics are sourced from China and you're hoping no one made a mistake with the measurements. I strongly believe that the vitamins and minerals should come from the food and not from add-ons

[@tomd4260]

[@theaarongarcia]

@@tomd4260 The vast majority of vitamins and minerals are outsourced. China has cornered the market on producing vitamins, supplements, etc... If your bag of dog food has all the vitamins and minerals listed after salt, the there is a very good chance the dog food manuifacture outsourced those supplements from China.

[@tomd4260]

@@theaarongarcia what isn't made in China these days

[@theaarongarcia]

@@tomd4260 That's a true statement, but food doesn't need the added supplements if it has the right ingredients and is not overly cooked. Most dog food manufacturer fast cook their kibble in high heat that eliminates all the nutritional value out of the ingredients and they need to supplement. Unforuntitly, Taste of the Wild, made by Diamond Pet Foods is one of those manufacturers with a history of recalls.
