Thank you for submitting your question regarding Goku. I recommend Royal Canin. It is a large company with veterinarians on staff. They do extensive research on their diets. They are also able to perform feeding trials in real dogs. This provides much more accurate information on a diet's performance as compared to laboratory analysis. I hope this information helps!

    Congratulations on your new addition! She is gorgeous. Royal Canin is one of the "premium" brands of diets. It is an excellent choice to feed. Other premium brands include Acana, Orijen and Canidae.
