Wofsoul, Thanks for your reply. i must admit I find it very difficult to compare the ingredients from one manufacturer to another. The only things that I can value are the amounts of each ingredient. I do recognize the quality of each can vary. I am not sure how the average pet owner can determine which is the better product.

I did submit a post to Eukanuba. It will be interesting to see if they reply and if so, what they have to say. I'll let you know if I hear from them.

In general I have and suscribe to "you get what you pay for". In general I have found that higher priced products have better quality, features, etc. Eukanuba is certainly not on the lower end of the dog food price scale. That's one of the reasons, among others, that I have chosen it thus far.
