| i wouldn't exactly say that. petco carries Wysong, Solid Gold, Eagle Pack, Natural Balance (which has an organic formula) and they are all premium dog foods. imho, petsmart doesn't have as good a selection but they do carry Royal Canin and Ultra which are pretty decent. |

| Good pet food What qualifies a food as "good?" I saw lots of "good" brands at PetSmart. I saw the Royal Canin, Eukanauba, Science Diet, and at least one organic brand if not more. I even saw a food specifically for Yorkies. I think it was by Royal Canin, but not sure. Anyway, I don't know what constitutes "good" but if it's good enough for the vet to sell, it should be good enough for my dog. :-) Don't shoot me, but I've been feeding Zoie Puppy Chow since I brought her home. :-) I do plan to get something else from PetSmart when it runs out. |

| I give Daisy Authority from Petsmart. Its oven baked, no corn, all natural. The one I give her is chicken and veggies I believe, for less active older dogs (she's 7) she loves it and its very reasonable.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | shadow, you said you feed innova. do you feed the refular innova or the innova evo? i heard that since its so full of protein some dogs can't tolerate it. I have my cat on innova evo, but since he's feline, and they are more carnivorous then canines, he has no problems handling it. |

| Mom & Pop pet supplies stores/feed stores deal with small companies and Petsmart/Petco deal with large corporations. There is no way that small companies could possibly meet the demands that large chains places on them like delivery times, amount of stock produced, etc.

| I was at our local health store yesterday and noticed they had two endcaps devoted to all natural dog food and products. There were several different brands and many different products..I was impressed! You might want to try your local health food store. |

| I get Natural Balance form Petco. I consider it to be a quality food. My dog has allergies and I had to do lots of research. |

| Thanks for the help. What do you think about the Authority brand at Petco? I bought the Harvest Baked bag of Puppy Chicken and it looks okay to me. It has veggies in it and chicken and it didn't look like it had lots of fillers in it. Anyone? |
