Over many years, in the past, I have used Eukanuba without realizing how the main company operated & how low the quality of ingredients was, as well as Science Diet & Purina brands. Once you start researching, you'll know which foods are really crap!!

I have experienced recently that some brands often change the mill where they make their food & by doing this, their ingredients/quality changes. I was using Timber Wolf & this has happened with them. Some places here in Vegas have stopped carrying their food because T.W. is not up front with what is happening.

I have researched & looked, and am in process of changing the girls food. I doubt I will ever stop researching.......

I am having the same problems here ...when you dig into the research on these foods you surely do not want to use them.
I was feeding Royal Canin Yorkshire #28 for several years until Wolf's blood test came back last year with some elevated liver values. I got very upset and started checking and find that many say RC is just to rich. So I changed foods, and after several failures settled on Natural Balance small bites.
Wolf had his yearly physical last month and all blood tests were perfectly normal. Phew.
My biggest problem is my Oliver a/k/a diarrhea dog dosent always do well on changed foods.
I am wondering, since I give all my dogs chopped cooked chicken breast every night and free feed kibble if perhaps I should mix 2 different brands of kibble together rather then staying with the one ?
Has anyone done this ? Pros ? Cons ?
