I switched Eli to Canidae, he was on Diamond
i've got a few choices up here in MI, there is a little pet store that carries Natural balance, canidae, wysong, wellness and i think maybe a couple more that i dont remember

i went with Canidae for now, it's a little easier on my pocket than the others.

better than diamond though right?

Definitely better than Diamond. And personally I would feed it before I would feed Wellness or Wysong (Wally did horribly on Wellness and some of the Wysong recipes are just BAD). My fosters are all fed either Canidae or Nature's Variety.

I've been told that by the Wellness repesentative that the company had been sold lately and that the ingredients have changed. Jessie did great on it for 4 years and nos it makes her sick. So I would not recommend it.

Lots of dogs do good on Diamond :| But Canidae is better.
Where are you in Michigan?
If I know the area, maybe I can help you find a good pet store in the area. Do you have a car?

Wysong recipes are just BAD


*EXCEPT* for the Synorgen. (Sp?) That is the only Wysong I would feed. It's actually very good!
