My dogs do love the Nutro. Do you think it's bad for them?
Nutro isn't a bad food -- But they have varying degrees of good and bad in their products. Nutro Ultra definatly has the best ingredients, then Nutro Natural Choice, and at the bottom would be Nutro Max. They made three brands specifically for three types of people. The people that feed "grocery store brands" are more comfortable with Nutro Max because it's cheaper. That's why they use worse ingredients, to make it cheaper. The Nutro Natural Choice is pretty much just for the average person. Then, when they realised people are starting to want something more holistic, they made Nutro Ultra which as better and more expensive ingredients. Nutro is MUCH better than Kibbles N Bits. Kibbles N Bits is as low as you can get. I had the great pleasure of attending a Nutro convention and they said that their ingredients actually are human grade. Plus Nutro is privately owned. It's not a huge corporation like most of the the bad food companies.


Iams has admitted to all of the testing that went on...But they still haven't changed anything as far as I know. Ralston Purina (Purina, Pro Plan, Beneful, Alpo, Friskies, Whiskas, One, Dog Chow, Puppy Chow, etc) also does animal testing. Though I wouldn't grade it as far down as Iams/Eukanuba. Not only are their tests apparently much worse, but the entire Procter and Gamble corporation is responsible for animal testing on all of their products.
