Looking at food options for my 9 week old puppy. She is on Nutro LB puppy right now, but I'd like to step up to something better.
What is everyone's opinion on Fromm, Canidae, Taste of the Wild, and Natural Balance? These are my top options so far.
Natural Balance's "Puppy to adult" deal is kind of setting me off. Has it worked well for you guys?

I don't think Taste of the Wild has a large breed puppy, but I saw on a few sites that the regular food was recommended for puppies. I didn't like the idea of that, though.
I'd love to feed orijen but at that price I'd rather just create a raw diet.
She's good on Nutro now but I want to keep her on something that's a little higher quality during the critical periods of growth.

I'd switch to Fromm's of which MANY on this blog use. It is family owned and MANUFACTURED.

Over 90% of pet food companies contract with other manufacturing companies to make their food and most leave the "ingredient sourcing" to that manufacturing company! :eek:

About Nutro:
Jim Eastin, supplier quality assurance scientist for Nutro Company, presented a seminar titled:
“The Importance of Rendered Ingredients in Pet Foods” at the October 26, 2011 Pet Food Industry symposium. He referred to poultry by-products as
"value-added ingredients" and described rendering as "environmentally responsible" by converting by-products into ingredients Nutro uses in its pet food products.
