Help me choose between these three variants

[misdemeanourthomas]

I try to keep on rotating my dog food between the variants of the same brand, and now I'm interested to change in to a new variant and I've singled out the three I'm most interested with but haven't made up my mind about which one is the best and think I could use some help so please pick which one you think is the best one.

- Varian A, Top 5 ingredients:
Lamb, Herring, Spray Dried Whitefish (Fish Hydrolysate), Sweet Potatoes, Venison.

- Varian B, Top 5 Ingredients:
Herring, Salmon, Spray Dried Salmon, Chick Peas, Ocean Fish.

- Varian C, Top 5 Ingredients:
Elk, Salmon Meal, Oats, Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkin.

Note: The Protein/Fat/Carb/etc ratio of these variants are roughly close to each others and have passed AAFCO standard, and I only need to pick the best one out of the three so please don't nitpick in this post instead of answering what I ask for.

@misdemeanourthomas All 3 are fine, feed whatever your dog prefers. Ingredients alone really don't say much about overall health or quality, so it's impossible to say one is "better" than another.

@misdemeanourthomas Me personally would go with option C. Although you say they are all the same ratios, sometimes "sprayed" protein is used to fluff up numbers so I personally sideeye it listed as an ingredient.

Also, again me personally, if I see a protein following too many vegetables in feel like thats BS

@misdemeanourthomas I would definitely stay away from "C" sins oats is not great. "A" looks more favourable for me due to 4 ingredients are animals proteins.

@alonebutmarried Why are oats bad?

@misdemeanourthomas I would go with B. In my experience sweet potatoes can cause itchy paws.

@misdemeanourthomas Yeah, uh no. I would choose something made by Purina, Science Diet, or Royal Canin. Anything other than those 3 foods has been PROVEN to kill your dogs.
