Default RE: dog food

Nutro IMHO has gone down hill. They have reduced their price and added fillers over the last year or so. I breed Goldens and run agility with them and some recreational hunting. The two best I have found are Innova and Canadie. No skin problems, dogs are alert and active but not to hyper. Stools are firm and smaller ( the more that goes in the more that comes out). Innova is very rich and some dogs have a hard time adjusting and therefore have loose stools. Ingredients are what you need to look at closely. Wheat flour can cause allergies or skin problems. Also those that have fillers such as corn meal etc.. as one of their first 3 ingredients tend to lead to weight issues. Also you need to watch for sugars hidden under fancy names. My adult dogs get Canadie 2 cups a day and are perfect weight and are never hungry for extras. Eagle pack is great if you run your dogs a good deal due to the high protein content. If I were running my dogs more in the field Eagle would be right up there with the two I mentioned. However Goldens are prone to hip issues and I prefer to keep the protein level between 22 and 25% especially in the first 2 years. Good luck.
