Iams and Eukanuba are HORRIBLE food. They do have a very good marketing department though. Go to your local pet store, NOT pet store chain. Look for foods like Innova, California Natural, Precise, Verus, etc. This is a subject I know a lot about.

I feed my dogs a local (?) brand called "Cheap Dog Food" made, I believe by a company called "Mad Dog" out of Sacramento. I think I remember a protein value of 18%.
I have ranch dogs. They are active. I take one or two of them with me when I am training on my horses. Sometimes we ride as long as 5-6 hours and go as far as 25-35 miles on a training ride. Obviously, the dogs are going MUCH further, as they nose out all the good smells and track the deer, etc. They are in and out of the streams, ahead and back, etc. They only stand still when we are all drinking out of the streams or they are getting "cookies" from us at various junctures. These dogs don't show any sign of poor health or lack of energy. The bag of 40 #'s costs me $8.99 retail + tax. 3 dogs use about 80 #'s a month, and I feed them once a day, in the AM.

Here's what my Chocolate Lab eats:

It's put out by Breeder's Choice, which also makes Pinnacle food. My girl was having a little trouble with dry, itchy skin in the winter time. This food contains avocado oil and all food-quality ingredients. It's a little more expensive, but you can see what it's done for her coat:

And if she had any more energy, the house would fall down . . . :-D

Science Diet is equal to Euchanuba. In fact, I think my Lab likes SD better than the Euch and Iams. (Of course it's hard to tell with a Lab. Mine has ingested some amazing things!)
