Any comments on this New Holistic Nutro Food?

My sister put her dog on this food and it had an allergic reaction to it, so the vet told her to take her off of it.

IMO, it's way overpriced for what it is. Yes, it's a decent enough food, but nt worth what they charge for it. If you're going to spend that much on dog food, I say go with Canidae, Solid Gold, raw, or even Wellness (some dogs do excellent on Wellness, others don't because it's so rich).

Here's an ingredients comparison for you.

Then there's raw, which is pretty much a combination of beef, chicken, pork, turkey, lamb, rabbit, venison, whatever!

I wish I had a place to buy those organic kibbles in my area. all I have is Petsmart and Petco arround here.
Petsmart sells also Royal Canin GS 24 that I was considering too.
Thank for the comparison chart.

You think thats bad? I only have Pedigree to work with!

I don't know where you are from, but you could have the dog food shipped to you. You can go to the dog food manufacturer's website and they will tell you who in your area carries their food or they'll give you, usually a few, places to order from to have it shipped to you. Some even offer a quanity discount, or free shipping. I've considered it off and on for a while. There was one I had ordered from years ago and it was shipped UPS, but I don't remember anymore which it was. I just picked up the Nutro senior this week. The local pet store recommended it, all the dog owners that work their use it she said. One of my dogs that is 10yrs, has gotten a little rounder than he should be, the vet didn't agreed that it was because he was big boned and had lots of hair. I asked the petstore owners advice and that's what she recommended. I thought I could try a bag and see how he does.

I have to say that after using Nutro Ultra for over a month now,I see a huge difference,Coat color is richer, no dog smell at all,and She likes it the canned version a lot.
Petsmart sell it for the same price as the regular Nutro now.

I always feel like a corney commerical when I mention Nutro's Natural Choice. One of my dogs has allergies so bad that it is the only kibble that he can have. No more allergy shots, no more ear infections, no more unschedualed vet visits. For a short time I tired the Ultra with a female who will eat anything that is put infront of her. OMG....the dog was rotten!!!!!!!!! It didn't seem to bother her but she could clear a room really quick. But I'm still looking for something high in potien but need to keep her weight down. Any suggestions?

I add a little undercooked ground turkey into the dryfood. Turkey is the least expensive meat avalaible in my area. I also use nutro max,natural choice.
