Best dry dog food

The best-scoring kibble, baked and cold-pressed foods. Dry food is cooked at high heat and needs starch to hold together, so even the best scores below the best wet, fresh and raw food on our scale; these are the dry foods with the most meat and the least starch. Bigger bags usually cut the daily cost, and we compare every pack size we find.
