What is the best brand of dog food?

I have 2 year old pit bull that suffers from rank gas. Right now he's on Flint River Ranch which is about $35 per 20lb bag but I've heard people say it isn't that good. So what is the best food for him. Money isn't an issue, I just want my guy to be on the best food possible, preferably one that lessens his gas. So what's the best dog food for him?

Flint River is a good brand. There is no ture one best dog food out there because different things work for different dogs.

I feed my bullies taste of the wild. Its grain free and has no by-products or fillers. They do great on it! Its about $40 for a 30 pound bag so its not to bad in cost.

Some other brands to check out are
Evo
Wellness
Chicken Soup
Blue

I have tried just about every top brand dogfood. I think EVO (The
Ancestral Diet) is the best. Made by Innova. Good luck!

in my opinion none,dogs should not be eating any of that dried or canned crap.
BARF and raw is the best in my opinion.

ADD- what is up with the thumbs down i was only voiceing my opinion,but odviously people dont want to listen to the TRUTH.

I personally prefer Merrick. Its corn & by-product free. It has grain, but the grain is highly digestible & nutrious.

Flint River Ranch is decent food, but it has wheat in it (At least most of their varieties do) and wheat can cause allergies and other issues so it may be causing the gas. Find a food with no corn, wheat or soy and see if that helps.
