How does IAMS compare to OLROY High performance? I looked at a few things and they are very similar. I like to read about your your opinions.
thanks

I haven't looked at the ingredients in Iams for a long time but if its the same as it use to be and Ol' Roy is similar then I think they are both junk! JMO

These charts are all over, but for what its worth. I believe for the price the Kirkland is impossible to beat. I don't have a Costco anywhere near me, so I can't get it.

Below is all I have. Purina Pro Plan Performance Chicken & Rice by Kaiser1979 on 18 October 2007 - 01:10 How is Ol Roy High performance? by Kaiser1979 on 18 October 2007 - 02:10 Wow! Canidae / Score 112 A+ is almost identical with OL Roy High Performance. by RoZoAn on 18 October 2007 - 03:10 I'm sorry, but ANYTHING I''ve ever read about Ol Roy is NEVER good! It's crap. You have to look at ingredients, not just the break downs. Canidae is NOT almost identical with Ol Roy! I find this website usefull: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ Sorry to be so straight forward.
