I think the foods at PetSmart are better than Walmart, but the best foods are found at pet stores? Do you have any in your area? Foods I'd recommend are Innova EVO, Origin, Wellness CORE, and Nature's Variety Instinct Chicken.
AMD, thanks again for the info. I thought Petco and Petsmart were pet stores. I do recall reading something concerning corn in the ingredients, but I don't recall the info.

You seem very knowledgeable about what to look for in the food contents. Can you enlighten me about corn and other ingrediants I should stear clear of? Also, any info you can provide regarding good treats I can use for training would also be appreciated.
