I've been following this thread with great interest. When we adopted our first animal from a shelter (our now 9-month-old torti kitty), they told us they'd been feeding her Nutro and so we did the same. It's a nice food, our kitty, Bonnie, really liked it, so we continued. When we adopted Bijou, I have no clue what the rescue folks were feeding her and we figured we'd put her on Nutro Max (the puppy formula). She liked it as well, and she's been on it for a couple of months now. However, we recently switched our feline to Royal Canin -- I guess I'm the one who wanted to try something new, lol. Our cat likes the new food just as well (we mixed several feedings to ease the transition) and now I'm curious if we should switch our collie. I'm thinking that Nutro and Royal Canin are likely similar in quality and that if my fur babies are growing well and are active, happy girls, I should leave well enough alone -- anyone with further thoughts on this? Clearly, pet food is always a bit of a hot topic but I really appreciate everyone's insights on the subject!

Thanks
