Also, in regards to wanting a '5 star rated food,' please be aware that the site that has rated this foods (dogfoodanalysis.com) is written based entirely on the opinion of the site editor(s) and NOT on long term, professional results and research. It's just one opinion so don't put too much stock in it. It's a great source of information, but your decision on what is best for your little one shouldn't come from what you read on that site alone.

Another good site to try is:
Dog Food Review Ratings
It will link you to numerous sites that examine supplements, home cooking, raw feeding and commercial brands.
My Petsmart does carry Blue Buffalo, but I'm not too sure about that one since I believe it was part of the recalls last year. Anyway, while I was there, I talked to the manager who said that "All Petsmarts carry the same exact things" so I told her that some stores had Wellness, and she said "No, that's Petco" .... Anyway, she didn't think that other brands were coming, but she said to "Keep checking back" .... so, then I go to check out, and the cashier (who obviously overheard our conversation) said to me "What's the difference, it's only a dog" ...WHAT? Now, I do understand that some people have this attitude, but at Petsmart? So, I just said "Do you realize that you wouldn't have a job if everyone felt that way?" Unbelievable. Needless to say, I'm still looking around for small pet food supply stores that may be in my area with a better selection.
