Dog food

My pick is Nutro.  They have a Natural Choice line and an Ultra line.  I use one of the Natural Choice foods.  I use this even though there are more expensive and supposedly better brands out there. .  I use Nutro for one very simple reason.  They make their own food.  They are a production company, not a marketing company.   Most of the pet food companies are  marketing companies as are most of the high end dog food companies.  Why is this a problem? Because the company has no control on what goes into that dog food.  With Nutro, there are quality checks at their two plants every day.  There is no outsourcing.  When a company uses two or three other companies to make their dog food, that company specifies what they want their ingredients to be.  If these other companies that the food has been outsourced to add other ingredients, they are not listed.  So if your dog food company does not manufacture it's own food, then you have no idea what your are feeding your dogs.  If Nutro ever starts outsourcing, then I will be back to making my own dog food.  .  Look at the back of your dog food sack.  If it is manufactured by the company selling it, then it will say manufactured by.  If not it will state distributed by or will just list the name of the company.  Check it out.
