Hey there -
I was panicking like you just a few weeks ago. If you want to have an idea whether Nutro is good or not, you can go here:

Choose the product that you are feeding your dog, and please just read. This site is not great, but good for starting out research. PM me if you have many questions. Several people that have helped me extensively are Marcerella and Wylie's Mom. I don't think they'd mind if you pm them too.
I personally have switched over to Orijen. If you are concerned about the high protein, read this:
The Dog Food Project - Is too much protein harmful?
And this:

My dogs are doing great on Orijen. My Yorkie has noticable shinier coats, brighter eyes. My shihtzu's coat are also silkier, the white part is now snowy white, less dry, and she EATS. She used to not eat for 2 days at a time when I was feeding her Science Diet, Alpo - this was before I found out what I was feeding them. But now she eats a little more than 1 cup a day, which is great. We don't even have to "push" her to do it.
If you are still concerned about the high protein thing, or prices, other foods I would personally feed my dogs are:
Innova Evo
Merrick
Wellness
Solid Gold
Nature's Variety Raw
And this:

Acana comes from the same company as Orijen. They have changed the recipe with better ingredients.
If you feel like you cannot trust any dog food available in the market, try cooking for your dog, but you must feed them additional supplement.
Remember - some dogs will do well to some foods, some might not. You have to find what works. If a brand of food doesn't work i.e allergies, horrible stools, no appetite, read the ingredient list, try to find out what's causing it. PM me anytime
I will help however I can.
