    I use to feed Eagle Pack Holistics, but all of a sudden all my dogs refused to eat it. Currently I am feeding ProPlan, and I read a few of you don't recommend it, but my dogs are actually doing very well on it, and so far this litter is doing awesome too. I was thinking about Nutro, I try to switch my dogs food every 6 months or so for a little variety, so I may try Nutro at some point. I have a friend who has her Golden on the Nutro Ultra, and she's pleased with the results so far.

    Be careful switching foods too often, it can cause some dogs to be very picky!!

    Well I guess if you're only switching between two brands then it won't make that big of a difference, you know? But some people like, buy a new brand every month, whatever's on sale at Walmart and stuff. I know my parents used to do that with our dog, Perdy. And because of her poor diet, she died an early age

    Nova's really picky, which I find very odd since she's a Lab

    A lot of dogs do "well" on ProPlan, but they'll do even better on a higher quality food. ProPlan is packed full of fillers and unnecessary things your dog doesn't need.

    Yeah, I've had them on "high quality" holistic foods before, we've done Wellness, Eagle, and California Natural in the past... They actually have better coats and energy levels on ProPlan, believe it or not .. But I suppliment them too, so that might have some influence on it.

    Well, I've only seen Starr's picture! But I bet they're all cute, because Goldens are all adorable!

    We've only ever fed Bijou Nutro Max -- for her first year it was Nutro Puppy, but now she's on Nutro Max Adult. She likes it very much (okay, she'd probably eat rocks if we let her, lol!) and she's healthy, happy and verrrry energetic! Pretty coat, too! I have no plans on switching Every so often, I check labels and compare nutritient lists of various brands when I'm out shopping to ensure that Nutro is still our best choice -- there really are a number of high quality foods from which to select, and I'm open to change if Bijou would benefit. We're getting a new Mounds in our area next spring (they've finally broken ground, woo hoo!) which means another shopping source of quality foods at better prices. I'm excited about that!

    We do feed Royal Canin Indoor to our cats, though -- they do very well on it. I started feeding Bonnie, our first cat, Nutro when we adopted her, but switched to Royal Canin when we got our pair of orange & whites after doing some reading/comparing cat foods.
