I work for a nationally known pet store and Iams is not a good food. There is a post further up in this thread that has a link to the cruelty that the lab animals face everyday to test this food. Yeah it is a "big" name dog food and they do sponsor alot of different things but please please please check out that link before you continue to feed this to your dog. I am not trying to offend you at all but this is not a good food. Some one here reffered to it as "junk" and they are correct.

After reading all of the talk about food, I will begin the switch tomorrow from Eucanuba(Spell?) My vet gave me a sample of that food, so I assumed it was high quality! Roxy is not crazy about it anyway. She picks at it. I found an Innova supplier right down the street from me!
Thanks for everyones help!

Natural Balance duck and potatoe doesn't have any wheat or corn.

I am currently feeding my dogs the Science Diet Puppy Small Kibbles. They eat it up pretty good. I was using Royal Canin Yorkshire, but when Gracie was pregnant, I had switched.

The local yorkie breeders here swear by Diamond. I haven't tried that one because they sell it in a 25 lb bag. I guess I could freeze it, but I don't want to switch until the pups are gone.

Although I don't feed Chewy Innova, I feed him Natural balace, they do an ingredient comparison on their website. it is very interesting to check out. Corn and beets are awful fillers that make your dog crazy - literally - scratching and biting at themselves. Feed your dog a premium food with good ingredients so that they don't suffer. Imagine if someone was feeding you crap and it was making you itch and flake and bite yourself. Do some research

We really like nutro. It doesnt have all that crap in it that is bad for a dog. Now honestly I think my dogs find it a bit boring but Momma knows best
My friend just rescued a 3 year old yorkie that was fed nothing but old roy all his life and his teeth are all rotted
Food is definetly important.

I can only tell you what I do. I can't advise you on the best, because I don't know. It's a matter of opinion on what's the best. Maggie is 13 weeks old and the finest finicky eater you will ever meet. Our kitchen looked like a buffet line for a while. I finally gave up with all the food I was cooking for her. My big dogs are on Pro Plan, so I put her on Purina Pro Plan Small Breed Puppy Food. The key word there is Small Breed Puppy. Anyway, yesterday was Maggie's 3rd set of shots. She has gained 1.3 pounds in just two weeks. The vet asked me what I was feeding her and I told her. She was very impressed and said keep up the good work. So, Pro Plan won the approval of my vet, so I will keep her on it.

My hubby was reading the ingredients in diamond. lamb beef and rice and it had no corn .He wants to try it even though they are doing great on science diet. I'm reluctant to try it but he is looking for a good dog food and save money too.
