Three basic types of dog food are presently on the market. Many companies produce all three.

Canned foods are expensive, but they store well and are highly palatable.

Soft moist foods are also palatable, but do not store as well. They are also expensive and contain some questionable chemical preservatives that are not found in dry foods.

Dry foods are usually the least expensive and easiest to feed. Most premium brands are also well accepted by dogs.

Generally, premium dry dog foods contain very adequate nutrition, require no supplementation, and are sufficiently palatable to suit most finicky appetites. In many cases, especially in house-pet breeding animals, they may be fed free-choice. Naturally, that is not an option if your bitch is a glutton.
