"At least it doesn't have by-products, animal digest, fillers such as corn gluten, etc like the Purina puppy chicken formula does, but you can do a lot better."
Hmmmm.... Purina Pro Plan or Science Diet was what my vet's office recommended, which is why I went with that. Now I'm beginning to realize just how little I understand about good dog food and nutrition. The Purina Pro Plan Turkey and Barley (which is what he's on) did get an A+ (103) on the Dog Food Rating thing that's somewhere in this forum, but I see that Science Diet didn't do so hot (F's). I hope the vet isn't just recommending certain foods due to some sort of agreement with these companies.
I'd really like to get him on the best food possible but there are so many choices. Natural Balance seems to score really high and I've seen a lot of posts about it. But if the Pro-Plan is already okay, then maybe I should stay with it and consult a professional about adding pumpkin or fiber of some sort. Then again, I didn't read the entire thread, so maybe the Dog Food Rating thing isn't the only thing I should go by.
Wow this is confusing.
