| - Ok, so I went out to Petsmart for their dog food selection since I was looking for a new brand/type of food for my dog. She's a 5 y/o shepherd mix, weighs 50 lbs on a heavy day, and has the build of a hound. She runs with us between 15-20 miles a week, and we have to work to keep weight on her, because she'll otherwise get quite skinny. In addition, she's having some problems with her coat, so I thought I'd try switching her to a lamb/rice formula
A nice young man offered to help me, and he recommended Natural Choice brand (which I was already considering). I gave him the description of my dog listed above, and he suggested I put her on a senior, weight-control type of food. I repeated my description of my dog (she's very active, only 5 y/o, and we have a hard time keeping weight on her), and he still insisted that a senior, weight-control food would be the best choice.
I thanked him politely for recommending Natural Choice and told him there was no way I was putting my dog on that particular diet. His second recommendation was the large breed lamb and rice diet, and this is what I bought.
I just couldn't figure out why he would initially recommend such a bizarre diet for my dog. I've never been a huge fan of Petsmart to begin with, and this just adds to my dislike.
