I for the most part agree with you. But some dogs don't always eat the recommended amount of food. It depends on the individual dog.
I agree that Innova is a great pet food. I would like to feed Innova to my cat and dog. But i have not found it in or near my area. And do not want to pay for shipping.

Most of us know that BARF is the way to go if you want the very best food for your pets. But then again that is also expensive.
I Feed Nutro and i also feed some BARF with the kibble. I may change to completely BARF later on but for now it will be a combination. I enjoy cooking or preparing foods for my pets.

The point was to feed a premium brand of food that you are comfortable with and that is of good Quality. A lot of pet foods have bad ingredients/preservatives. Preservatives such as BHA, BHT and Ethoquin(sp). And meat by-products and other things that are not as healthy for pets.
If you do research on this you will see what i am talking about.Check out the link i provided in the post above. It will give you some idea.
A lot of people think it is just the off brands (like wal-mart brands, etc)that have bad things in the pet foods. That is Not always true. Brands that have been around for a while also have some of the things i listed that aren't very healthy. I not only done research i also went out and compared pet food brands in the stores.
*Please remember i am Not trying to argue.*And I am Not trying to sell anyone on Nutro(or any other brand).
I just want to inform people about some things to avoid. And that they should check their ingredients on their pet foods.
