Eukanuba-Bad, Better, Or Worse?

[coco-bean]

Is Eukanuba bad, better or worse than Science Diet, or other brands? Just curious because a guy (which was a customer) was at pesmart when i was ealier and he recommended that i feed my dog Eukanuba if i were to feed anything at all! I havent heard enough on this product to go either way, can you help? thanks a bunch!!

Haha, I know I'm personally sick of dog food threads

Here's a very informative site that will help you learn about dog food.. http://www.dogfoodproject.com/

And to answer your question...I'm pretty sure Eukanuba and Iams are from the same company (correct me if I'm wrong ) but coming from the link above, Iams is a tad bit better than Science Diet...but it's still not too good

Iams Lamb Meal & Rice Formula Premium / Score 73 D
Science Diet Advanced Protein Senior 7+ / Score 63 F
Science Diet for Large Breed Puppies / Score 69 F

Mmm... one thing school taught me was to fine tune my critical thinking skills. So here ya go:
Eukanuba Medium-Sized Breed Adult:

Chicken, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Meal, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Ground Whole Grain Barley, Fish Meal (source of fish oil), Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of vitamin E, and Citric Acid), Brewers Rice, Natural Chicken Flavor, Dried Beet Pulp (sugar removed), Dried Egg Product, Brewers Dried Yeast, Potassium Chloride, Salt, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Ascorbic Acid, Beta-Carotene, Vitamin A Acetate, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate (source of vitamin B1), Niacin, Riboflavin Supplement (source of vitamin B2), Inositol, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid), Flax Meal, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Choline Chloride, Minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Carbonate), DL-Methionine, Rosemary Extract

VS.
Science Diet Adult Original

Chicken, Ground Whole Grain Corn, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Ground Whole Grain Wheat, Chicken By-Product Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Corn Gluten Meal, Brewers Rice, Chicken Liver Flavor, Soybean Oil, Dried Egg Product, Flaxseed, Potassium Chloride, Iodized Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, vitamins (L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), DL-Methionine, preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract.

They look pretty similar to me, but it's all up to your own judgement. Critical thinking

Not starting war, stating an opinion:

Iams is a tad bit better than Science Diet...but it's still not too good

I disagree. I think quality of food should be based upon dogs as individuals. I've seen dogs on top brand foods do extremely horrible, while another on a lower brand is flourishing.
