Nutro Max or Performatrin dog food any good?

KitKat: Nutro Max or Performatrin any good?
Just wanted to know what everyone here thought of "Nutro Max" & "Performatrin Natural - Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Formula" Holistic dog food? Comments, Feedback etc.
I'm more concerned of what is good for them all around rather then what they would eat. They would eat grocery store food if they had the chance and they love it but doesn't mean I would ever be feeding it to them again.

I Don't know Performatrin. But at the pet store i work at (which is all about the dog food) we do sell Nutro max and we had a representative come in to talk about Nurto. Nutro Max is a better food then most (Compared to Iams, Dog chow, and Science Diet) Nutro Max is guaranteed for the dog to eat less, shed less, and poop less because it is full of nutrition. BUT Nutro max is on the "lower end" of their dog foods. Nutro Ultra is the best, Nutro Natural Choice is better, and Nutro Max is good. I LOVE the Ultra because it has more fruits and veggies and grain free. Again, Nutro Max is not a bad food by all means. Personal experience, i have used Nutro Natural Choice and it made my dog's waste smell HORRIBLE, even the natural choice cat food, did the same thing. Doesn't mean Max is like that tho

Again sorry i couldn't compare it to the other food since i've never heard of it, but hopefully the knowledge of one food can help, maybe someone else will give you info on it! =)

I've used nutro ultra for a long time and my dog loves it. Also really helps with her coat and shedding.

There is little evidence any food is much better than any other. Wish I was in a place to put that Nutro rep to the test.

I personally feed my cats and dogs Nutro pet food.

I don't work for or represent the company, but I love the results I have seen with my pets and am inclined to say I will never feed anything else! Their coats are gleaming. I picked this food after my cat was diagnosed with cancer a year ago after I had been told she would not get cancer on a "raw diet". She had a prognosis of two months to live after her spleen removal. It has now been a year since she had her spleen removed and she has never been better! I chose this food for it's consistency and for the fact that it is carried in many different stores and easy to obtain when I need it (evacuation, camping, etc.).

Nutro is one of the worst foods on the market. Nutro Max is the lowest of the low quality foods made by Nutro. Performatrin is a much better food than Nutro. Performatrin uses no corn, wheat or soy in any of their products. Nutro uses them in most of their products. Nutro's ratios of Omega 6 to Omeg three are very bad (as much as 20 to 1 in most of their foods). Performatrin's are much better (6 to 1 and 8 to 1). They both use menadione. I would not feed my dogs any food that contains menadione. The menadione is the only thing I have against Performatrin and if you have to choose between those two, by all means choose Performatrin. Foods that contain no corn, wheat, soy or menadione and have good Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratios are Wellness, Blue Buffalo, Castor & Pollux, Merrick, Taste of the Wild, Canidae and Solid Gold.
