Nutro Food

[Spiritwind]

I do want to change her food. I called my brother and they switched their dogs from Nutro to California Natural. Then this last time my niece went to get the food and ended up with Diamond Naturals. Both of these are Lamb and Rice. Well, Boo, the older dog hardly ate the California Natural and now he seems to be eating more with the Diamond Naturals.
Has anyone heard of these foods?.

I have been feeding my dogs Diamond Naturals for a little over a year now, and they are doing great on it!! Great skin and coat...They love it, eat it very well... and its good ingredients....

I have heard of California Natural but don't know anything about it...

Cool! Then maybe I'll switch her to Diamond Naturals. I just found out where I can get it near me. We have a new bag of the Nutro that we've already opened, so we will keep it and just see what happens later with this company.
Thank you for the info on it.

Diamond has had a string of food recalls in the past, too though so just be cautious (though I believe they took huge steps to improve, you just never know).

Canidae for me though all the way. Charlie has a lot of skin problems and he improved when I had him on Nutro but he's doing a million times better now that he's on Canidae! And we found a store nearby that sells it even cheaper than what I used to pay, almost $10 cheaper for the same sized bag!!!

Cindy I feel Reilly Science Diet, I had bought a small bag of the Nutro once when he was still a puppy and he hated it...lol would not touch it for anything, plus he hates any brand if it is lamb and rice, dunno why he does not like that flavor but he doesn't. We switched him to Science Diet after he hit his yr old mark, he has done great on it, I can get it more readily too.

Oh great!! How can I tell what is ok, darn it?!?! Well, I guess if the Diamond and Cal Natural is not on a list NOW it's okay. It's sad that I am scared to feed my dog anything!!! Thank you Jessika, for the info.

My mom fed Kodi (RB Min Pin) Science Diet all his life and he lived to be 17 1/2 yrs old. So I guess that it's a pretty good food. But we'll just have to see what I can get easily and for a good price. Of course it must be "good" food. Although, I'm beginning to wonder what's good anymore.
Thank you Aunti Marti, for your info too.

Diamond had a recall over 2 yrs ago, because of some toxic stuff (can't remember full details anymore, its been over 2yrs ago) that got into the corn at the South Carolina plant. It is PERFECTLY fine now.... Diamond Naturals has NO corn, wheat, soy or by-products in its food.... Diamond Naturals came out after the Diamond recall... I've been feeding it for over a year with no problems.... to puppies and adults alike.... they do great on it.

Also... Diamond Naturals is by far much better quality food than Science diet... just compare ingredients.... and Science diet will typically cost you much more... its way over priced for its quality...

Ahhh, thank you Spiritwind. That helps put my mind at ease. I've been on an emotional roller coaster today!!

My dogs get Canidae too. Beanie who is allergic to corn has made leaps and bounds on this food. Tallon, who has allergies as well has done wonderful on it since I switched him from what his breeder was feeding him.

I've never fed Nutro so I don't know a lot about it. I've not heard anything about it yet though. I don't think your boyfriend doesn't not care about Zoee. Men will be men. They don't care about a whole lot that doesn't effect the directly. (No offense to any men here.)That's why I'm single. My first question to any possible guy is "Do you like dogs?" Haven't heard the correct answer yet.

Anywho, making your decision on a new food doesn't have to be so hard. When the re-call came out I picked a food that had never been recalled and was still good for my dogs. Start there. That will eliminate a lot.

Diamond food is not bad. I agree with Spiritwind. Diamond naturals is better than origonal Diamond foods. I fed my Sibes and Great Dane puppy Diamond for a long time with no problems at all. BUT because they were on the recall list I eliminated them from my choices of foods to feed.
