I just recently changed all my chi's food as some seemed to not like the Nutro, especially our Sabrina. I changed to Performatrin Ultra Puppy, Hormone Free, Chicken & Brown Rice Formula (they also have a lamb one). This is PETCO's brand, and they all love it now that I finally have them all changed over. I will have to say not cheap, but as long as they all love it and will eat it...and seem very healthy...that's all that matters to me.
Ingredients: Chicken, chicken meal, whole brown rice, whole barley, whole rice, Menhaden Fish Meal, Oatmeal, whole rye, sunflower oil (stabilized with mixed tocopherols-a natural source of Vit. E) dried egg product, alfalfa meal, peas, fresh whole sweet potatoes, fresh whole carrots, fresh whole apples, sea salt, kelp, brewers dried yeast, potassium chloride, whole blueberries, whole flaxseed, spinach, dried skimmed milk, chicory root extract, garlic, lactobacillis acidophilus, bacillus, subtilis, bifidobacterium, therophilum, bifidobacterium, longum, enterococcus, faecium, DL-methionine, mannanoligosaccharides, taurine, yacca schidigera extract, lecithin, zinc amino acid complex (source of Chelated Zinc), choline chloride, vit E suppliment, L-Lysine, Iron Amino-acid (source of chelated iron), rosemary, manganese amino-acid (source of chelated manganese), basil, sage, copper amino-acid complex (source of chelated copper), dandelion, vit B-12, vit A, niacin, calcium pantothenat

I love nutro dog foods, my jezebel was very picky when we adopted her and wasn't eating well and not keeping much food down. I switched her to nutro ultra and she loves it and it has very healthy ingredients. I think it costs a little more than the one your looking at but it takes her 3 months or so to eat the 17 lb bag. I am sure this other nutro product is good as well. I worked at a vet before I moved to NC and many of the other techs said great things about nutro!
