My experience with these 3 foods:

PURINA ONE:
Purina one I read is one of the good dog foods carried in the Grocery
store. My X husband has been feeding this to his dog for several years
and his dog does very well on it.

Nutro:
I fed Nutro Natural Lamb and Rice to Sheba for 5 years.
Her skin and coat were beautiful with this food. I would have
no qualms feeding this kibble.

Canidae: I have used this food for almost 7 years now for Sheba and
Rocky.
Rocky has a bad stomach and he has done very well on this food
compared to others. Both dogs have never got tired of the taste and this is a good human grade food at a reasonable price.
* I also add a little human food such as meat, poultry, yogurt, and cottage cheese to their kibble.

My opinion, if your dog is healthy and happy stick with the food you are using.
(Some grocery dog foods are very low in quality and I personally would
stay away from these foods)
Check out the first few ingredients of the food, this will give you
an idea how to compare the different foods.)

Thanks, do you have any experience with Iams?

I am quite sure I don't have the time to learn How to buy it. how to cut it up. Portions. Proportions. Sources, vitamins and mineral content, etc. I wouldn't have time to do that regularly . ( the 2 cups of kibble sounds much easier. )

I am quite sure I have come to what I think would be a wise move for my lifestyle right now. I am thinking Nutro with one egg a week ( Sun. evenings ). Would that be good? Or does Nutro not need the egg? ( And I should feed the egg with the shell, right? )

Thanks again

GreyhoundGirl,
I never fed Iams kibble so I can not comment on their food.
All I can suggest is read the first few main ingredients and compare.

(I cook plain eggs for myself once or twice a week (with-out fat)
and share a little with each dogs I give them mostly the cooked whites
from my dish, no egg shells. : )

I would think a good grade kibble alone is fine, but as mentioned, I like to
add human food to their dinner.
I also add a little meat juice or warm water to their kibble.

This is just what I do for my dogs.

Kodie and Lucy get one raw egg each a week. Kodie gets the shell because he likes it, Lucy doesnt like the shell.Nutro is a great choice in food,Kodie had bad food allergies and they cleared up so fast when we switched to Nutro Natural choice.
