Daniel,

Too many choices! I know what you mean.

So when Mitzi was young, I was lucky to have some really great private pet
stores around where I could ask questions like there was no tomorrow. The
nearest one was owned by an animal nutritionist who specialized in raw diet
and premium dog foods. So I ended up trying a number of formulas to see what
Mitzi would like and what worked. So I settled on Wellness and fed that
until I switched to a grain-free formula when she was about 2. Innova, I
think it was.

When I moved out to the 'burbs, it was harder to find the brands I used. 
For a time, both dogs were eating Iams, since that was what DD was feeding
Daisy. Then Daisy turned out to have allergies, so we went to Natural
Balance Duck and Potato. We noticed a real difference in the coats of both
dogs, and also more energy in both. So that's what we still feed.

I'm thinking of changing to the Lamb and Rice, since I hear too much potato
can be a problem. I haven't found any actual info about the potato thing,
but haven't looked that hard. We give them raw potato, too, and sometimes
cooked potato, so that's a lot of potato for the dogs.
