I would love to recommend a quality brand made in the US, but history taught me to never recommend dog food or take recommendations because no one gives a fuck what you feed your dog, just how much you'll pay for it.

Make your own is the answer. Real vegetables (unprocessed and typically raw), fresh meat, and sometimes fruit. Your dog will be much happier although it takes a bit more work preparing and storing compared to kibble.

If it was my dog (and not my parents dog) I'd definitely do this. He does get protein and glucosamine and chondroitin in his treats, and a small unseasoned portion of whatever protein my parents make for supper. So he's well cared for, he's almost 3 years past his breeds life expectancy.

I've watched bengals for friends that had a home made diet, and honestly it was simple and cheap. They prepped all the meals before leaving, but they showed me how easy it was one day. A weeks worth of food for 3 cats isn't exactly cheap, but when the ingredients are bought in bulk its a little cheaper than quality canned food. I would definitely do this for a dog when I'm in a place to care for one.
