Natural choice (nurto max) dog food vs. Chicken soup for the dog's soul dog food. Which is better for my boxer

Answer 1

The one that the dog does better on. Not every food is as good for one dog as it is for another.

I guess the nimrod below me actually thinks you want to feed your dog SOUP!!!!!!!!!!!!
God help us.

Answer 2

It probably doesn't matter, both are probably good foods. Most of the high quality foods are about the same in nutritional value, but some dogs do better on a certain food. try a bag of each and see which one makes the dog look better and coat shiny and no itching. Like pple, every dog is different, so what might work for one , might not for another. I'm not sure about that chicken soup food, I think they made it because of the books and thought they could make a buck on dog food too. Read the ingredient on the bag. See what the first 3 products in it ? Chicken parts does not mean it's a good food, better if it says chicken meal.

Answer 3

Both are good quality - I tried Chicken Soup before I switched to Canidae Chicken and Rice, but 2 of my dogs developed furious itching symptoms - can only assume it was from the cranberries or rosemary in Chicken Soup. Canidae suits all 6 dogs just fine, they have great coats and no more dry skin or fungus problems since they are on Canidae. Both are made by the same manufacturere, so if your dogs don't have allergies to some of the ingredients in Chicken Soup, doesn't much matter. Canidae grain free is excellent for dogs who need a grain free diet.

Answer 4

I started feeding my dog Natural choice Nutro and she's doing good on it. I'm not sure about the Chicken soup one. Ha-that guy that you were feeding your dog chicken soup! That guy is stupid! lol. I'd go with the Natural Choice if your dog likes it. It all depends on the dog though.

Answer 5

Chicken Soup is a better food then Natural Choice.

Answer 6

Nutro Natural Choice and Nutro max are the same company but Nutro Natural choice is a step up.I feed Nutro Natural choice.The one thing I suggest is not to feed a lamb based food for your Boxer...makes them gassy.

Answer 7

a dog can not live on chicken soup. there is not enough vitamins, minerals, etc.

if u'r dog is on natural choice then stay w/it.

the naughty foods list is still growing but much slower rate.

treats were just pulled off walmart shelves some 3 wks ago.
