I would call Nutro Natural choice an ok food. I used to feed Layla it, but now feed her Wellness, and the differences are drastic. Her shedding, itching, smell, pooping, etc have all decreased dramatically since switching her. Nutro is better than the "grocery store varieties" but Wellness, SG and Merrick are on a completely different level.

Once your dog is on a high quality food that he likes, you shouldn't switch foods, it will just cause digestive problems. If you are willing to put the time and research into homemade food, then it's deffinately an option (I've never heard anyone who makes their own dog food complain that their dog reacts poorly to it)
