| Natures Variety looks great, it's 6 stars. Eukanuba, not so great, only 1 or 2 stars.

| Nature's Variety is a great food. When you are looking at foods- look at the first few ingredients- are they anmes of things YOU would eaT? A main protein source that is NOT a bi-product ("meal" is ok- it is just the protein minus the moisture in it), veggies, a GOOD carb like potato or rice. You want to stay clear from any food that contains, corn, wheat, bi prodcuts or beet pulp.Food is SO hard- we've all been there and really we all just want the best food for our dogs. I think you have a good one with NV> |

| i recommend any variant of go! natural, it's the best dry dog food i have fed my yorkies, they're doing very well on it and they even gained weight (they used to be a bit thin). |

| I like Wellness Super5Mix Just For Puppy and my puppy seems to love it! They are a little on the bigger side for kibbles but he chews it just fine. I actually decided to use Wellness because of this forum and from speaking to a few breeders. |

| I fed Emma Eukanuba as a puppy too-based on the vet's recommendation. Little did I know, after doing a lot of research, that Eukanuba wasn't a very good food. I switched to Blue Buffalo, and now I home prepare meals-I use raw meats and cooked fish with some carbs and veggies. My two have never been healthier. Whichever you choose, I encourage you to do your own research on YT and online, and make a decision that you feel is the healthiest for your dog and fits your lifestyle and budget.
