Advice for dog food for small dogs

[lv4dogs]

Mine are on the Nutro Chicken meal rice with oatmeal for sensitive stomachs. They are doing wondeful on it.

Yes thats a great food & kibble pieces aren't too big either. (but then again what I consider big may be different that your opinion of big) lol

I just posted a thread on multiple dog food. Your thread made me remember a question I've been wanting to ask. Fenway is 19lbs and he eats multiple dog food. Not sure if it's a good idea and that's what my thread is about. But it's Merrick, Fromm, Nutro (small bites) and Inova.

Raustyk had to watch the protien levels a few times as well and I remember I had a heck of a time finding one with low protien. Of course that was 5 years ago and foods have certainly have changed a lot since then.
Looks like I'll be researching this again because inquiring minds want to know.

I really like the Nutro Ultra, it's a little pricey, but if my pups like it then that's okay. I have been really impressed with it and all 3 eat it up.

I can't find a percentage for the protein level of the nutro??

Nutro NC chicken meal rice & oatmeal: Crude Protein (minimum) 21.00%

Here's their website, http://www.nutroproducts.com/ncdogcro.asp

I'm pretty sure you won't find anything with a protien level lower than 16-18%. Even with that low of a level, it is usually found in vegatarian & weight management diets.

I've been looking non-stop at all different foods. lol I still have a few more to research though.

Hehe Sue, same time.

Nutro Ultra Weight Management is 16%

Yeah its the same as the CN, which is strange to me since the nutro has more ingredients...maybe I can supplement his diet with more veggies.
