Nutro is an excellent food, you should be very happy with it. I fed my dogs Nutro for years and was sponsored by Nutro. I've got my dogs on IAMS now, its fine, but if I could afford to, I would have them on Nutro.

Do your research and check the ingredients. Nutro isn't bad but it certainly isn't the absolute best either. Taste of the Wild, Diamond, Evo...ect...ect... are all extreamly good brands. Blue Buffalo Wilderness isn't bad either, maybe just a step above Nutro puppy

Considering the cost of holistic dog foods, and how little a puppy eats, have you considered a BARF diet?
Or just buying ground beef and chicken breasts in bulk and a rice cooker and making him food that you KNOW whats in it? It's not cost effective when they get bigger, but one thing I have learned is you do don't want to switch up their food often. Every time my ex wanted to try some new wonderful not made from chicken beaks dog food they would get the runs every time. None of my adult dogs ever got purina or god forbid "Dad's" but I could not rationalize dog food that is anywhere near the cost per pound of fresh ground meat from the butcher. For example, look at the cost of dog treats per pound if your store marks their sales tags that way. Beggin strips at wally world were $17 a POUND. Prime rib is 10 bucks a pound at the butcher. |

We feed Canidae, and only Canidae to our dogs, and have had fantastic results for years.

I used to feed mine raw food until it got too expensive.
Now I feed him Taste of the Wild, eithe the bison and venison or salmon formula. It's been working very well so far. |

In case you didn't know, most store-brand dog foods contain corn in fairly large quantities, which dogs cannot digest and it just passes right through them. Normally you'll be feeding your dogs more of the lower quality food then you would of a higher quality food like BB, TOTW, Diamond...ext... OP, stick with a good quality food and you're dogs will be thanking you later for it.

I use nutro lamb and rice for my dog. A buddy of mine breeds Boykins; I think he does the BARF thing though. |

If you end up feeding Nutro your dog is lucky and will enjoy the benefits of a fine food. However, there are even higher quality foods out there. It's usually a matter of convenience (do you have stores close by that carry the other lines), and the cost. When you get into premium and near premium foods, you can usually cycle between them somewhat often without causing any GI distress in your dog, so you can alternate between more and less expensive premium foods. Premium green tripe is a good example of a food your dog can benefit greatly from even if you feed it only once a week or a couple times a month. Good luck
