    O.K. so heres the lowdown, Ultra holistic is made by Nutro, you will not find anyone on this site that will endorse Nutro, Eukanuba, Purina, or anything Hills. These dogfoods are full of fillers and no meat content to speak of, besides the many dogs that Nutro has killed in recalls.

    Please do yourself and your beautiful dog a favor and research the threads here on dry food.
    Some top choices are Orijen, Acana, and many more but you will not find these foods at Petco or Petsmart, these are boutique foods and need to be searched out. Good Luck!

    Yea I've heard and I've read the holistic stuff is pretty good stuff... I'm going to keep him on this for a while and see how he does. If he doesn't react well I'll change it.. But as far as what I was feeding him this is much better.. so.. I don't want a nasty discussion or anything and If that's what I get I will delete my account because I don't want to be called a bad dog owner or under knowledged. So.

    Feed your dog what you want to, but the dog doesn't have a voice just remember that!

    I personally wouldnt feed it because Nutro has a very long history of recalls and a terrible record, its not worth jeopardizing your dogs health over. You can try something like Blue Buffalo, which is also sold at Petsmart but a whole lot better.

    Forgot to mention, it also has Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex, which you may want to read up on:

    No one is going to call you a bad dog owner. That would just be mean and uncalled for, not to mention against the rules of this forum. What we will do is try and help you make better decisions for your dog. Heck, I was there once...feeding what I thought was a decent food and I learned that there are better choices out there through helpful and experienced people. There is nothing wrong with that, its what most of us spend our time here doing. You might as well take advantage of all the time and effort that we've put into researching foods and pick our brains!

    I really do hope you stick around and DO read up on what you are feeding your dog. Look up the ingredients and make a decision for yourself if you think its something worth feeding. No one here can make decisions for you...that is up to you! Good luck with everything

    Thank you you're the first decent person on here to talk to me... Any way like I said I will try this because it's way better then the Eukanuba D seems to like it so far.. If it doesn't work out I'll switch it... I like to switch out about every 6-8 months any way as each good quality food has something different to offer. Personally I tried this dog food just for grins just a nibble and it wasn't too shaby lol.. any way like I said if need be I'll change but thank you I've gotten some pretty nasty responses from people..

    At least I don't feed purina and stuff...

    I would also like to add I' unemployed so the better hard to find stuff I'd love to feed but I can not afford right now unemployment doesn't pay me enough... When I get employed I will probably look into the better brands.. thanx
