I just read the info about Nutro which is what I was feeding Daisy and TeddyBear. Yikes!!
So I got a sample size of Pinnacle Trout & Sweet Potato Dry for them and they love it. Pinnacle was recommended to me by a lady who sells only the better foods in her shop, because of
1. Teddy's sensitive stomach and
2. Daisy needs a lower fat formula food because of her weight.
I would really like some opinions from someone who understands the ingredients and analysis info. I find this a little hard to figure out.
Thanks for any feedback. I really appreciate it.
Here is info on the food:
