Also keep in mind that while vets are a wealth of information on the HEALTH of your pet, vets are NOT canine nutritionalists. Vet clinics are usually sponsored by a company (Hills, Purina, etc) and are required to promote and sell that food to their customers. So just because a vet recommends a food does not mean that it is the best out there. I urge you to do your own research. I recommend Nutro, and as previously stated there is a store nearby you (well, from where you put your location as anyway). So I at least recommend checking it out or getting a sample and see how it goes from there.

I agree with Jessika about the vets and their knowledge of canine nutrition. SOME vets do research and recommend high quality diets, but many are sponsored or have deals with companies and promote their food for the benefits they get from the companies. Nutrition is not something vets are taught much about in vet school, if they know much of anything about it it's because they studied it on their own. I was todl by one of my vets that Dog Chow was fine, even though my dog's health was crappy on it. I changed foods and their health improved so I KNOW what you feed them matters. Really do try to find the best food in your area you can and her healthy WILL be better. Sometimes you ahve to try a few different foods to find the best one that works for you ad your dog but always try to make it a quality food with good ingredients, not junk and fillers.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head!! That's what Mike uses as his selling point when people come looking for food for the animals!
