I fed my last Rottie anything and blamed myself when she got sick and well passed shortly after,not something I like talking about,I spoiled her and gave her all kinds of crap she shouldent of had incl the Wall Mart/Costco Pedigree crap food ,my New Rottie gets the best the vet has ,like ya say Rick its 80-90.00 @ bag,bag lasts a few months thou ,I only want the best I can give my pup will never give her that generic no nutritan crap ever again,my new Rottie is now 20 months and just Muscle and very fit and energenetic,I would stay with what ya know my 5 cents
