Hi, all. I know this is a bit of a Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge question, but I'll ask it, anyway. (For the record, you'll never convince me there's a better truck than my Ford F-150!)
I just got back from our local holistic pet food store with a small bag of Canidae dry food and a few cans of wet. Oscar is 4.5 months old, and eats Eukenuba large breed mixed with a little Mighty Dog for extra protein. (This is my breeder's recipe - I realize Eukenuba is full of corn meal, and that Mighty Dog is just plain nasty, but I figured I wouldn't deviate from what he's used too until he got bigger.) He is a very big boy, very healthy, and good weight for his size.
Anyway, the owner of the store talked me into Canidae. My previous dog, a yellow lab, ate Wellness and did very well on it. While this store carries all three brands, they told me that Canidae was the best value and that all three were A+ foods. (I didn't actually ask the price difference between the three.)
Any strong opinions on any of these food choices? All three have grain free varieties, which I am considering, too. Worth the extra $$ for grain free, regardless of brand?
For now, I am going to keep with the Eukenuba mixed with a little of the Canidae wet instead of Mighty Dog to see how his system deals with new food. Over time I'll mix in the dry and then slowly transition. I don't want to do a full transition to Canidae only to find out it's not so good, though, and then have to transition, again.
Thanks, all!
