Pick a food that YOUR dog does well on.

Some things that I think a choice should be based on (this is if you want to put time into it and not just grab whatever):

Make sure that you are comfortable with the manufacturer.
Make sure that their quality control is in line with what you want for your dog.
Make sure they are willing to honestly answer your questions very thoroughly.
Make sure that the testing done on the food (or lack thereof) and the testing done on animals (or lack thereof) is consistent with your philosophy on the subject.
And always talk to your vet about what your dog is eating. They see a lot of things and may be seeing trends of food gone bad (I am thinking of a vet in particular that noticed this with a food). They don't have much nutritional training, but most take a class which is one class more than most people on the internet have plus they are students of biology and have learned a lot about the subject anyway in a lot of cases. Don't underestimate their ability to guide you into a good food decision. And when feeding one of the foods with high protein, etc. that are considered questionable, always let them interpret the bloodwork first and tell you if that would be appropriate. If the kidneys are showing issues, it very likely should be a no go. I discuss my diet with my doctor and the same goes for my dogs.

We feed Purina and Eukanuba here because it works for MY dogs right now and that is what their vet felt was appropriate for them right now. I think she is correct so far.

Sooo, if you and your vet think that BB is appropriate for your dog, then I say go for it.
