While considering other brands, how nutritious is Nutro dog food?

While considering other brands, how nutritious is Nutro dog food?
Nutro is an inexpensive dog food formulation containing meal instead of real meat.
Many brands these days use human grade ingredients, which Nutro does not.
There is no way it can be described as human grade dog food.
True, it probably does not share the same price tag either, but there are many other healthy dog foods on the market, if you want an alternative to a brand like Nutro.
I recommend Natural Balance dog foods as the best choice, and its available at a very reasonable price.
Nutro is not in the same category as Natural Balance or Blue Buffalo dog food, which use higher grade ingredients.
It is probably on a par with many of the Waltham dog food brands such as Cesar, Chappie, Pedigree etc.
Like Nutro, Waltham focuses on both nutrition and convenience.
The purchase price of Nutro is low, but over time you may end up paying more than you would spend if you fed your dog Natural Balance dog food.
The best nutrition that you can give your dog is provided by Bones and Raw Food frozen dog food.
The BARF diet may require too much work for some people, and these dog owners have a good alternative in Natural Balance premium dog food, as it contains only the freshest, high quality, human grade ingredients.
It is a nutrient dense food with high quality meat proteins and no by-products, corn, wheat, gluten or soy, no artificial flavors, colors, sugars or chemical preservatives.
Nutro cannot compete with this as it does use wheat, and its ingredients are not human quality meat.
Wysong dog food really shows up Nutro with it's free-range pheasant recipe. It's dried meat products contain an astounding 99.9% meat!
The $14 price for the product may be too steep for many consumers however.
On a serious note, dog food comparisons must take into account the food recalls of recent news.
Fortunately for Nutro, their dry food was not affected by recalls.
On the other hand, many of the Nutro canned dog food products were recalled, as were their products for cats.
