Innova is better. RC contains corn which dogs dont need. Nutro's 2nd ingredient is flour which dogs dont need. Innova is great, california natural is made by the makers of Innova but only has 2 ingredients a protein & a carbohydrate which is good for allergy prone dogs. Chicken soup is good which is made by diamond dog food. If you have a costco membership, the Kirkalnd brand is the same as Chicken soup but much cheaper. Good luck!

There is a difference in Innova and Nutro when it comes to the ingredients.

Here is a link for Innova dry food. It has 5 stars.

This is a link for Nutro Holistic food. It is has 4 stars. Nutro Ultra and Nutro Max both have less than 4 stars.

I feed Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul to my two and they LOVE it! I really, really love the ingredients in this food (lots of fruits and veggies as well

). If I HAD to choose another food, I would probably go with Canidae. The only thing about Canidae is that I would have to order it online - and why do that when there are foods that are just as good right here

However, I see no reason to ever switch my babies off Chicken Soup as my two absolutely LOVE it and it is a great food - AND I can get it locally as well. So unless they STOP MAKING the Chicken Soup (which there are NO plans for

) I will continue feeding it to them

I do not like to constantly switch my dogs food around all the time. I like to keep them on one food and one food only

So it's Chicken Soup all the way for us!

If your baby is itchy, she needs to be on a food free of the ingredients most dogs are allergic to...those ingredients are: corn, glutens (barley, rye, wheat), soy, and dairy. One of the best foods on the market, in my opinion, that doesn't contain any of those ingredients AND is manufactured in America and all the ingredients come from America, is Canidae. I think all the foods you listed have AT LEAST barley in them. I would check out Canidae.

Any ideas?

California Natural Lamb Meal and Rice dry is an adult dog food. I feed it to Mxx and Abbie and they LOVE it.
