Chicken, Beef or ...Lamb?

"Like."

First 5 ingredients of Diamond Naturals.
Chicken, chicken meal, whole grain brown rice, white rice, cracked pearled barley

First 5 ingredients of Pedigree.
Ground Whole Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Rice, Corn Gluten Meal, Animal Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, Source of Vitamin E)

Ingredients read better, yes, but neither companies (Mars vs. Diamond) have a good recall record. Just because they put better ingredients on the label doesn't mean their safety record is better. I'd rather choose a 'safer' manufacturer with less or no recalls.

That's MY opinion of course.

I have been reading your comments without logging in! Several mention allergies to chicken ... is this common in GSD's? How does one know if their dog has allergic reaction to a food?
Unloader, I am curious how you justify your statement "Diamond isn't any Better than Pedigree" ???
I am willing to give 4-health a shot as well although it appears to be more pricey!
I wanted to get her off Pedigree cause she was constantly scratching and her coat was quite coarse. Now, a little more than half way through this bag of Nutro, her coat has shined up and the scratching has about stopped. Once in a while she still scratches but nowhere like it was!
Gotta get ready for work, will comment more later!

If you are not worried about allergies than you probably don't need to be worried

Lets just say her dull itchy coat was from the crappy food and leave it at that

Why not give a list of some foods you are looking into and we can let you know if they are better than Nutro. You have to specify the formula you are looking at.
