How to choose food for a new dog?

[kernow]

Thank you for explaining that Bill. Stephanie, I have had dogs all my life and I have never come across the term kibble. Most of my dogs have been re-homed from reputable centres such as Battersea and Wood Green. They always give advice on feeding and encourage new owners to stick with the diet that they have established the dog on, my vet also has advice sheets about feeding that are handed out on almost every visit, but I have never come across the term kibble. When I saw the word on here I asked one or two of my dog walking friends and I was met with blank looks. To answer your question, I don't really call it anything other than dry dog food, it doesn't really feature in my conversation because I don't use it.

WOW - I am amazed to read that! Most 'food' discussions I have with other dog walkers are always about kibbles and who feeds what kibble and what kibbles suits and what kibbles don't etc etc.......kibble is a major topic of conversation in whatever dog setting I am in. I guess the description 'dry dog food' covers it, pretty much.
