Narrowing food choices

Ok Ive narrowed the food choices down to:

Innova Senior
or
California Natural Chicken Meal
or
Eagle Pack Holistic Senior

My dogs are GSDs - 7yo, 9yo and 10yo

EVO is off the list because I am feeding raw chicken mince and using EVO would raise their protein intake to around 80% which is too high.

The Innova hasn't been trialled yet - I just got a bag today. If they all do OK on it, they can all be on it.

They did OK on the EP - sandys coat looks good, Flash seems to be scratching less

Cappy is doing ok on the cali natural but he doesnt seem to find it terribly palatable.

Cappy has put on weight and condiiton on the EVO and the cali natural - Im hoping the Innova is the balance between them??

ETA what is healthwise like?

Re: Narrowing food choices

I'm not an expert but from what I've read, the Innova Senior would be your best choice. If you look at the site: www.dogfoodanalysis.com, it rates various dog foods. If I remember correctly, Innova was rated a 5 star and the Cali Nat and Healthwise were rated lower (I think a 4 star food) mainly because there weren't as many protein sources as Innova.

I have a 8yo GSD and I feed her California Natural (herring and sweet potato formlua). Shes doing well on it.. Her coat is beautiful. Hope you find out which food works best for your dogs .
