| NO!!! *sorry for the bold but this is important* Natural Choice is made by Nutro which was HUGE in the recalls and is responsible for the death and illness of MANY cats and dogs. I just posted a thread a while back of a dog who was horribly sick, the mom took her off Natural Choice and she is 100% improved. PLEASE change your dogs food ASAP! Here are some good brands- they have whole ingredients and NO bi products, corn or cheap fillers: Orijen, Natural Balance, Nature's Variety, Canidae. |

| I was feeding Nutro until I heard about all the recalls. This month I'm going to the feed stores to get them one of the brands that are on the list of good foods for our babies. It's hard to find them at a pet store, but feed stores carry a lot of the good brands.

| I am so glad you all responded, I was actually going to get some tomorrow for the puppy until I figured out what to switch both of the dogs to. My Samson, who I have had for a while has been eating some of the puppy food the breader gave me. I feel absolutely terrible. I will switch out the puppy ASAP!! thank you!!!

| Here is a site that also lists dog foods and how many stars they are given for quality and nutritional value... just go to "REVIEWS"..and click on the stars...5 and down..and it will list all the dog foods that fall under that star. 5 being the best and 1 the lowest quality! Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble Hope this helps!!

| keep in mind the transition might cause him to have loose poop for a few days- his body is trying to clean out the old stuff and adjust to the new stuff! |
