Re:some of the food you listed in not good food (Reply to this comment)
by susieq8163
you need to read your ingreds on the list of food you put in for good food, science diet has awful ingreds and anyting purina and nutro has so many recall I would buy nothing from them. try foods like wellness, merrick, blue buffalo, solid gold, evo just name a few read your ingreds and ask yourself do you want your dogs to eat this. make sure there is no bht/bha added because this has been show to cause cancer.

Quality vs. Junk foods (Reply to this comment)
by archgrl03
Iams and Science Diet are both brands that are well-known to use a lot of fillers in many of their products. For example a visit to each website will provide you with much of the nutritional information on the foods:
Iams Weight Control: Corn Meal, Chicken By-Product Meal, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Fish Meal, Chicken, Dried Beet Pulp (Sugar Removed), Chicken Fat
Science Diet Advanced Protection Adult: Ground Whole Grain Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Flaxseed, Chicken Liver Flavor
These ingredient lists are not all inclusive of the contents of the foods but are the main ingredients listed on the Web Sites of the respective brands.
It is key to pay attention to what is in the food itself rather than relying on the mindset that one particular brand is better than another--the quality of the different varieties of food can vary dramatically even within a brand.
Another very important thing to consider is your pets ability to eat certain foods. Animals, just like people, do not all do well on the same diet. Some pets have sensitivities to certain ingredients and have adverse reactions when consuming foods that contain them.
And if at some point you decide to change your pets diet, it is also important to do so gradually rather than all at once. Feed half and half (half of the ‘old’ food and half the ‘new’ food) so that your pets digestive system has time to adjust.

Pretty good guidelines, ok article (Reply to this comment)
by chicagocanine
The guidelines and info on why to choose a premium food were good, but there are worse things than fillers which you did not mention in the lower quality foods. Chemical preservatives known to cause cancer, grain fragments, and unidentifiable protein sources are some that come to mind. If you read the ingredients list you'll see that several foods you labeled as good quality are not- Euk/Iams, Pro Plan and Science Diet in particular.
The word you were having trouble with the spelling of- was it echinacea?
