Keep food in original bag better or to plastic container?

    For what it's worth I think the Purina One Sensitive Systems formula is better than Euk. It's cheaper and widely available at Wal-Mart.

    Petco carries Natural Balance which is great and some Petco's carry Solid Gold as well.

    We buy just regular Purina at BJ's It ranges from $13-$15 for a 55 pound bag. I switched from feeding them in the morning to in the evening as we had a child (who is 2 now) it last about 3 weeks (the dog food not the feedings). I do live near a Wal-Mart (near being a reletive term, we are twenty minutes from anything). Otis and Metro both are roughly 6 years old.

    I suspect that the vet said NUPRO.  To tell you how I feel about Nupro, and Purina and any of the other corn laden, grain laden foods like them, I won a years supply of Nupro and every month I pick up enough for SIX very large dogs and drop it off at the shelter.
     
    CORN is not a dirty word.  However, used in both of these foods, and many others, as a protein source instead of MEAT, it is bad.  You can do much better than either of these foods.  The food will last longer because you need to feed less, you'll have much less poop to pick up because their bodies will USE more of a higher quality food without all the fillers AND they will be healthier overall....thus fewer vet visits.

    NUPRO is a supplement you put on top of food.Alot of i-doggers use it,it is a great supp IMO,it is not a "corn laden food"[8|]
    .I dont think you can get it at walmart,it has to be ordered online as far as i'm aware.

    Perhaps the vet meant Nutro??

    Christine, you are absolutely right and I'm glad you caught that.  I meant NUTRO, which IS pretty full of corn and grain fragments.

    It depends on which formula of Nutro. Max has corn. High Energy has corn. I forget whether or not Ultra has corn in it. The Lamb and Rice that I feed has no corn.
