I don't know any of those dog foods, to be honest with you. I feed Finn more of a prey model diet. But, I would recommend simply reading the ingredients. I know you want to see chicken meal, or beef meal, or fish meal as the first ingredient. As opposed to "by product" or "by product meal" or simply "chicken" or "beef", etc. I know it's best to avoid corn and wheat if you can, just because they digest corn about as good as you and I do. ;) And, my understanding is that they don't handle grains all that successfully, either. As far as any further recommendations, your dogs will be the best ones to look to for advice. :) good luck!

and, you can frequently find the ingredients listed on the websites for the products, too. do a search in here, too, because, as you know, there have been a lot of threads on the topic. mostly, you wanna look at the first five to ten ingredients, those should be good things, like protein sources and things like that. the crap you can't pronounce should be lower on the ingredient list. ;)
