Which is better Nutro Puppy Wholesome Essentials Chicken or Natures Recipe Puppy? I don’t like Scinece Diet, Royal Canin, or Iams so please don’t suggest those I just like to know which out of those two are better for her. Thanks!

I personally prefer Nutro. It tastes good so dogs and puppies like it and in general it is lower in calories so it's an excellent food to stay on lifelong without becoming overweight. I find a brand I like, and that my dog likes, and I stay with that brand for the life of the dog. I do not like switching brands all the time, it can cause stomach upset and make fussy eaters. I go from puppy, to adult, to less active if needed, then senior all in the same brand. Nutro has excellent choices in all of the different age categories. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sienna.
