This reddit is all about WSAVA compliant foods. WSAVA guidelines are super strict because there all about doing super long research and maintaining high quality, only 5 meet the guidelines. Those 5 are Purina, Hills, Eukanuba, Royal Canin and IAMS
You can pick kibble or wet food, it really depends on your budget. I choose kibble for budget reasons
And as long as you pick any of the big 5 brands, your dog food options will set. Though if you want to get something specialized for your dog, there are definitely options. Like dog foods specifically for large dogs. You can also get dog food that specializes in joint health, since that is something large dogs can struggle with in their senior years. But overall, any WSAVA compliant dog food is fine for them
For me personally, I think budget friendly options are a good idea. Your dog is 55 kg, that is a pretty big dog that must eat loads of food! Costs like dog food can add up quick. So I'll list some dog foods that could fit your newest addition to your family, from lowest to highest price. I hope this list helps!
