Nutro Natural choice puppy or Natural Balance for all stages?

• Nutro Natural choice puppy or Natural Balance for all stages? Charlie06 Posted : 1/6/2007 1:42:20 PM I am sooo confused.  I got Nutro's Natural Choice lg breed puppy food for my 5 month Golden retriever.  I read on the dog food analysis that this food only scored 87 (B).  *** van Pattens  Natural Balance Ultra Premium scaored 122 (A+).  This foor states that it is for all stages (puppy thru adulthood), so which is the better food for him.  LIKE 13 REPLIES 590 VIEWS LAST POST WILLOWCHOW Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Craig Posted : 1/6/2007 2:21:14 PM I fed my lab mix the Nutro Natural choice Puppy LB for a while and he did OK. I now feed Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Salmon. (he's 9 months). I changed foods because his skin was dry and had a lot of dandruff. His coat is now beautiful (after a month). His stools are also more solid and less frequent. I was also feeding him solid gold wolf puppy for some time (betwen the others) and that he did well on too. Natrual Balance was just easier to get for me and he really likes their Duck and Potato treats. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Sarah Posted : 1/6/2007 3:50:27 PM My vote goes to Natural Balance. It's a much higher quality food than Nutro, IMO. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Boxermom4 Posted : 1/6/2007 4:39:49 PM Before the bag is completely gone, start mixing a little of the new stuff in with the old stuff, less tumie upset[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Luvntzus Posted : 1/6/2007 5:26:08 PM I agree, I would definitely choose Natural Balance over Nutro. But then there are other foods I prefer to Natural Balance. You'll find though that there's no one "best" food that people will agree on. It drove me crazy for awhile trying to find the perfect food because there are sooo many different opinions out there. In the end you just have to research different ingredients and do some amount of trial and error to see which food works best for your dog.

• brookcove Posted : 1/6/2007 7:01:28 PM I'd get some NB and start cutting it in right now. You'll start getting some of the benefits of the higher quality ingredients right away and avoid a huge switch down the road. And you won't waste your bag. Natural Choice is an OK food but you'll see a difference (assuming your dog tolerates it all right) pretty quickly after you "upgrade".

• jenns Posted : 1/6/2007 7:54:56 PM Natural Balance gets my vote.  A LOT of dogs seem to do very well on it, including my own, and the ingredients are excellent. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 1/6/2007 9:47:03 PM I've heard good things about Natural Balance. I feed Nutro Large Breed Adult Lamb and Rice and constantly get approving comments on Shadow's coat. And good luck with the NB.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
