We got a 5-yrs old Shih Tzu a couple months ago. Are we feeding her the right food? According to http://www.buzzle.com/articles/healthy-dog-food-ratings.html, the following foods are available at Pet Smart (how the star ranking was established is not explained on that page, but based on other reviews on the web, seems reasonable):
Best:
- Blue Buffalo Wilderness ($2.08/lb)
- Castor and Pollux Organix ($2.07/lb)
- By Nature Organics (about $1.63/lb)
Very good:
- Blue Buffalo Life Protection ($2.01/lb)
- Castor and Pollux Natural Ultramix ($1.67/lb)
- By Nature (regular) ($1.45/lb)
- Wellness Super 5 ($1.73/lb)
- Nutro Ultra ($1.72/lb)
Good:
- Royal Canin ($3/lb)
- Eukanuba
- Authority
Anything else: AVOID
Ironically, the Best is not much more expensive than the Good (on average about 20% more only).
