Jack was definately eating more of the pro plan then the Canidae. gas went away and breath got better too! Definately worth it not to feed the "big" name foods like Science Diet, Purina, Iams, Pedigree, etc. They are all full of fillers and are not very good for your dog. For the size of these little guys, the don't eat that much of these "good" foods because it is very nutritious. If you think about it, it takes Jack about 2-3 weeks to go through a 5lb bag of Canidae at 7.50 a bag. THAT'S ONLY .35 TO .53 CENTS A DAY!!!!!

NOT TRUE!!  It is full of fillers.  Jack was on this and he is so much healthier looking (and smelling) since we switched to a high-quality food(which pro plan is not).  I learned a lot here from everone on food and it has really opened my eyes up!

I picked up a bag of Merrick Puppy Plate for Ginger, we'll see how she likes it.  Some of their canned food has actual chicken wings and thighs in it.  Their food is very interesting, here is Merrick's website.

I'm not going to admit what we were feeding her, it was food that I though was good, but turned out to be full of fillers, I picked it because it was high protein and labled as a high quaility food.

I wouldn't have known better myself if it wasn't for the fine folks at rt.com!!!  When I got Jack he was eating ProPlan and I thought that was good

Just an FYI, corn is a filler, not 100 percent bad but they could do without it.  At the very least you don't want it as the first ingredient.  Ski does a very good job at explaining this.  Here is the list of ingredients from Science Diet (and vets get paid to endorse food, doesn't mean it is very good) Note the first ingredient ( also the chicken by-product meal)

Ground Whole Grain Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Dried Beet Pulp, Chicken Liver Flavor, Dicalcium Phosphate, Brewers Rice, Fish Oil, Flaxseed, Soybean Oil, Iodized Salt, Choline Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, vitamins (L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract.

I might get booed here but, I feed my twins Iams for small breed dogs.  Once a day they each have a half of a pouch of Pedigree food mixed with it or only tiny amounts of meat or veggie (with rice if we are having it) leftovers.

Nobody means to  "boo" anyone here for what they feed.   We all love our pups, and everyone is feeding what they believe to be a "good" food. Sometimes vets recommend Science Diet (and who doesn't want to trust their own vet?) even though Science Diet is a very poor quality food. Hill's (the maker of Science Diet) offers funding and incentives to veterinary colleges, just one of many examples of this can be seen at this link from Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at:  http://education.vetmed.vt.edu/Schedules/yeeowza/hills.asp 
Advertising companies also do a wonderful job at making other poor quality foods sound like exactly what our dogs need.  All we can do is educate ourselves on what really make up a quality food, and then choose what is right for our own dogs.  

A good website for learning more on how to choose quality foods is The Dog Food Project: http://dogfoodproject.com

Wow ! I went to that site and there was too much information for me. Thank you guess I will have to see what I am going to continue to feed my dogs.

Do you mean Nature's Recipe?  BIG difference.

, Well if that don't convince you to feed this to your dog!!  LOLOL

Nature's Variety is the higher quality product and, yes, they also have raw frozen food.

Izzy has been on the canidae for about a week now and boy can i tell the difference already!  Her coat is so much softer and she hasn't been itching anymore either. I think we found our new dog food!!
