I have been feeding my babies Nutro Ultra Weight Management, your website does not rate this brand, could you?

Hello Anita -

What gorgeous babies you have - great shot too! :)

You can find our Nutro rating of 1 Scoop on our dog food comparison chart.

We will include detailed information about how we arrived at this rating when we add our in-depth dog food reviews. In brief, though:

• Nutro does not use quality ingredients.
  
• They also choose to practice "ingredient splitting".
  See our article on How to Read Dog Food Labels for details on how this ploy is used by companies in an attempt to deliberately deceive the consumer.
  
• Menadione (synthetic Vitamin K3) is added to all their formulas.
  
• See Dog Food Industry News for information on Nutro's history of dog food recalls, as well as many serious consumer reports of pet illnesses and deaths.

We recommend you also read our guide on How to Identify the Best Commercial Dog Food. Our aim is to help you learn for yourself how to make an initial judgment on the quality of a dog food recipe, simply by scanning the dog food labels.

So, as you can see, Dog Food Scoop is not a fan of Nutro Dog Food at all, and would prefer to point our readers to a premium dog food (minimum 3 Scoops!).

We hope this helps, and hugs to your precious pups!
