My suggestion was going to be Chicken Soup and then as I read through this thread I saw that's what you chose. It's my first choice for a holistic, reasonably priced food. It's what my best friend's dog has been eating for the past couple of years and he's in great condition. She was feeding Nutro Natural Choice and his coat and overall health improved after she switched.
Chicken Soup is an EXCELLENT choice. I don't care that Diamond makes it, the stuff is just SOLID, TERRIFIC quality dog food. Nearly EVERY site that has customer reviews is FILLED with page after page of testimonals on how good this brand really is....and when compared to so-called "premium" foods you find in the grocery aisle, it's a no-brainer for sure. I really think you'll save some money, both in feeding costs and vet bills if you stick with this for a while.
I'm glad to hear Chicken Soup is working out well for you. I think it's a very nice kibble, esp for the price, and I hope he continues to do well on it! Now if I could only find a way to get rid of the eye boogers.
I would have to disagree with this. The Nutro Max is much lesser in quality than Ultra (I don't like either, personally...but I would feed Nutro Ultra if I didn't work at a feed store and have access to cheap super premiums stuff).
Nutro Ultra is much more meat based and doesn't contain corn or wheat for protein.
Nutro Max Puppy:
Chicken Meal, Corn Gluten Meal, Wheat Flour, Rice Bran, Ground Rice, Poultry Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E)
Nutro Ultra Puppy:
Chicken meal, brown rice, rice bran, lamb meal, poultry fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols, natural source of linoleic acid)
And I think Chicken Soup is a good choice. We don't sell this at the feed store I work at, but Petsmart does...if people are looking for cheap food but don't want to throw quality to the curb, I usually wait until my manager isn't listening and then refer them over to Petsmart for the Chicken Soup food....let us know how your puppy does on it.
hey just wanted to respond.. I was going off what my vet had told me.. since doing my own research i will continue to feed raw (i made the switch sometime in may) and would never ever recomend nutro to anyone agian..
I will admit i was a prime example of someone who just listened to their vet. not anymore.. so i would like to retract that statement!
I was looking for the "pat on the back" or the "round of applause" emoticon, but there isn't one. (Vets really do need some more education in dog diet)
Anyhow, good for you, that's great news. I wish I could try the raw diet but my little guy is totally disenchanted by anything raw. Hmmmmmph!
