Which of these dog foods?

Posted : 4/26/2007 2:00:31 PM

[size=1]I was wondering which of these dog foods would be best food my dogs. I have two adults, 1 very over weight ..the other just a tiny bit overweight. I also have a baby Chi who is 11 weeks. I want badly to switch their food but I am unsure of what to get because they are all very picky eaters and am also worried because of the recalls that have been going on... These are the foods I think are safe, what do you suggest?

Doctors Foster & Smith -

[size=2]Chicken & Brown Rice Adult - 14% fat, 24% protein, 3.5% fiber
Chicken Meal & Rice Puppy - 12% fat, 26% protein, 4% fiber

Innova

Adult - 14% fat, 24% protein, 3.0% fiber
Puppy - 12% fat, 26% protein, 3.5% fiber

California Natural

Chicken Meal & Rice Adult - 11% fat, 21% protein, 4% fiber
Chicken Meal & Rice Puppy - 16% fat, 26% protein, 2.5% fiber

I think I'm leaning towards Innova or California Natural.. I just don't know..

Drs. Fosters & Smith Products Recalled Due to Rice Protein

April 25th, 2007

Another pet food maker — Drs. Fosters & Smith — is issuing a recall due to the use of Wilbur-Ellis rice protein (scroll down the page). Oddly, the manufacturer says they received the recall advice today, not last week.

Rice protein concentrate has been indicated as a possible source of melamine recently found in pet food products. As a precautionary measure Wilbur-Ellis company, the supplier of rice protein concentrate, is voluntarily recalling all lots of rice protein concentrate. We received notification from the manufacturer today, April 25, 2007, suggesting we issue a precautionary recall.

I love Innova. Keep in mind though you feed a lot less of it. I even fed less than recommended because I saw my dogs gaining weight on it. Cal. Nat. is made by the same people as Innova.
