The premium and super premium brands typically use higher quality ingredients (named protein sources, no meat meals, etc.) and have less fillers or additives. The discount or store brands frequently use lower quality ingredients as well as grains in addition to more fillers and additives. These ingredients may contribute to allergies and increased inflammation in a pet. That said, if a pet won't eat a premium brand or suffers GI upset from them, then all those positives won't matter. I always recommend feeding the best quality food you can afford, is easy to buy and that a pet will eat and does well on. If that happens to be a lower quality diet, so be it. The website www.dogfoodadvisor.com an excellent resource for researching and comparing diets.
