Researching dry food again...

Yup, I'm another one that wants to change food because of the recall. However, I haven't had to do this in a long time so I need suggestions. Right now Baylee gets Nutro Natural Choice, the indoor weight management formula. I need something for her that will manage her weight...

I can't remember how much protein she should be getting and how much is too much (the last time I researched foods, she was just a kitten), how much ash is too much and what else I should pay attention.

Can anyone refresh my memory of what she needs/doesn't need in her food? And give me suggestions - off the top of my head I was thinking Petguard, since we used to use that and I conveniently live near the health food store I used to buy that... but I'm open to other ideas.

Thanks!

One DRY FOOD IS not in the RECALL and is MADE AT a COMPANY OWNED and MONITORED PLANT

Why does Petguards dry food leave you " " ? And which dry food are you referring to?

Baylee is almost 3 years old... I don't remember he exact weight but I think she's around 12 and she's maybe a pound or two over. She's barely overweight.

Where is Solid Gold available, btw?

one meat and four grains.... her current is 1 meat to one grain

two of the grains are corn and wheat ... corn not real digestable and wheat is a high allergen

SG at petco and small stores

Hmmm, I didn't notice that. However, there's only one meat in SG, right? Lamb?

What about Chicken Soup?

NO DRY foods have been RECALLED and I DOUBT any will since NUTRO and many of the others in the WET recall are made by the company in a company owned plant .... Meaning the ingrediants and production are done and overseen by the company whose name is on the Bag...
I just received a note from Nutro ... saying to tell people to STOP using the recalled products regardless of the date...

On a more comforting note .. 90% of Nutros products are made at the Nutro plants

I've tried California Natural dry and Natural Balance dry and liked both...
