Canine Cuisine 101

It would appear that what goes into the Bichon Frise has a direct effect as to what comes out of the Bichon Frise. So, finding the right diet to feed your Bichon Frise has got to be taken very seriously.
Because Mike and I are not in a position to feed the new little baby the ultraexpensive food that the breeder recommended I have been researching other possibilities. I have found some guidelines to help me choose a healthy alternative.
The first few ingredients should be meat, as in chicken, beef, turkey, lamb or whatever. They shouldn't be chicken broth, or beef byproducts, etc. Also, look for whole foods in the ingredients. You want to see corn, not corn meal.
Avoid foods that have a lot of artificial stuff in them. You don't want to feed your little guy artificial colors, flavors, chemical preservatives that you can't pronounce, a lot of added sugar or artificial sweeteners, and you surely don't want to feed him things from unnamed animal sources those are just unnecessary fillers.
