You might also look into PMI foods. I am feeding PMI Prime 26/18 for my hounds. They seem to like the food, and are keeping their weight. The stools are also small and solid.

Would plain purina dog chow be better than the ol'roy high performance? I have been researching ol'roy on the net and I am not getting much positive discussion on it. Seems like alot of people are claiming ol'roy has uses rotten animal parts and substance that will cause cancer.

I prefer to use Nutro foods over Purina, Diamond, or any others. I have been feeding Nutro with my latest pup, and it seems to work great. He seems to get the energy he needs, and I always get comliments on his coat and overall appearence. As with anything elseeveryone has their own opinion.
