Rather than hijack the other thread (has dog food prices gone to far) I figured I'd start a new one.

I found a bag of Diamond Naturals that was in my price range. Extreme Athlete was under $40 for 40#'s. The ingredients looked ok no corn or wheat. In fact very similar to what I was already feeding. I just hope it is not to much protein and fat for them. Will start mixing it in tonight and see how they do. Not sure if I'll switch my senior Buddy over. He did terrible when I tried him on the lamb and rice by Diamond. Anyway since it is so high in protein and fat should I cut down how much I feed them?

Ingredients
Chicken meal, chicken, brewers rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), egg product, cracked pearled barley, powdered cellulose, dried plain beet pulp, flaxseed, natural chicken flavor, fish meal, potassium chloride, salt, choline chloride, glucosamine hydrochloride, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, chondroitin sulfate, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, niacin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin D supplement, folic acid

They have been getting Natures Recipe Chicken Meal, Rice and Barley.

Chicken meal, ground rice, pearled barley, poultry fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), natural flavor, tomato pomace, salt, potassium chloride, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), inositol, niacin supplement, vitamin A supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, beta carotene, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), minerals (zinc proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, iron proteinate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, copper proteinate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), yeast culture, choline chloride, yucca schidigera extract, rosemary extract, citric acid (used as a preservative).
