Jacob,

If your head is not already spinning 🙂 haha..

I went with star rating and phos/calcium information from this thread, especially because of the large breed factor. It might be worth reading through this thread from page 1. Posts 12416 and 16665 start to touch on these. Hound Dog Mom has a great excel spreadsheet with some info in it. If I can locate the most current version, I will edit and add the link. That spreadsheet helped me narrow down to 4-5 options and then I did some minimal additional research from there such as price and reviews.

I would suggest you look at ordering online (fetch.com, chewy.com, amazon.com etc) as you get a discount for reoccurring orders and delivery is free with at a minimum order amount for many sites. Price/availability could certainly be a factor you will need to consider.

I was initially going to feed TOTW or Blue but agree with the comment above on past practices by the parent company.

EDIT: The spreadsheet is in link above by another poster. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwApI_dhlbnFTXhUdi1KazFzSUk/edit?pli=1
I wanted to go with the meadow feast off the bat, due to lower calcium (1.2 versus the 1.3 in Coastal Catch) but the meadow feast chunks were a bit larger. As the formulas are consistent, our next bag will be the meadow feast flavor as she will be closer to 4-5 months by then.
