I'm wondering if anyone here feeds Nutri Source Pure Vita Chicken & Brown Rice. We went to the pet store and got Casanova a "buffet" of dog foods to try in another desperate attempt to find one that this spoiled maltese might eat. I just tried scoring it and if I didn't do it wrong, it got 107 on the dog food scoring system, but I'm not sure?

Just wondering if you all think it looks like a good food. It seems kind of like a premium food? 15 lb is $32? Thanks for any advice!

I'm also not sure if we should feed a food that few if any of us is feeding...safety in numbers, right? But Casanova is gobbling it up!!
