| Innova vs Nutro OK, which is better. I just did a search, and for the last 2 hrs have been reading about dog food. I found that more people here use Innova, Nutro, California Natural, or Chicken Soup Dog. So which is the best for a healthy Yorkie? Lexi has been on RC for awhile but it makes her itchy, and she is getting a bit of a tummy. My vet said she is still healthy but he doesn't want her to gain anymore weight. Then after reading YT, I have learned that her weight could be because of the RC and her itching could be from the RC. So now I just have to decide which food to switch her to. Any advise will be appreciated...

| If you'd like to do more research on dog food, and different dog food brands visit my friends website: www.mordanna.com/dogfood and if you'd like to compare Innova vs Nutro www.naturapet.com I feed my doggies Innova EVO and they love it. I love Innova because it is high quality food and much better than Iams, Eukanuba, all those commercial foods. I do want to try Chicken soup for the dog lover's soul though |

| I feed chicken soup to my 3 and they love it. If I had to go with another food I would choose Solid Gold, Innova (not the EVO bc of the high protein which can be too much for the little guys), Prairie (http://www.naturesvariety.com), or Wellness. My guys will only eat the Chicken soup though. Right now I started a home cooked diet. You can get the pre-made ones from The Honest Kitchen |

| food I feed Guinness California Natural Lamb and Rice. I switched him from Chicken Soup because his one eye was quite runny. The lamb seems to be much better. In about 2 months, I plan on weaning him onto adult food. I have a sample of the Royal Canin Mini Breed Yorkshire Terrier Food. Guinness loves it. So I am not too sure what I will switch him too. Any ideas? |

| OK do you know where I can find Innova lamb and rice or do they have a website? Pthank you so much for all your help. I'm going nuts trying to make sure she gets the best. I did get the Chicken soup for her today and for my cats. So far they all like it I think...

| Tricia - do you have a Pet Supplies "Plus" near you? They have all the "good" dog foods. I use Chicken Soup. I think it was around $30 for 35lbs.

No the closest to me is Petco, Petsmart, Pet palace, and pet treasures. None carry the Innova and only one carries the Chicken soup and of course it is the one furthest away. LOL I was hoping I could find Innova's website to see if they have a dealer in my area somewhere. Thanks for your help...

| What to feed Innova and Nutro are about the same from what I understand. Chicken soup is not rated nearly as high. |
