Although I am a new owner I also did much reading and talking to breeders, trainers etc.
One opinion that made sense to me was to read the first three ingredients and ask if you would eat them yourself
With that, the Blue Buffalo was the best I have found. We buy it a Tractor Supply and have found our adopted BMD has thrived over the last 4 months.
From my reading I found that dog foods originated from food processing companies that wanted to use the "wasted" ingredients from the foods they were processing. Ingredients that mention "by-products" are really a euphemism for leftovers with little or no nutritional value. Many of the less expensive dog foods contain fillers such as oats, flour, wheat and corn and have no nutritional value. Meat should be the first ingredient followed by 50% carbs.
I am not an expert but have want my rescued BMD to live longer than the average life span.
