Maci, my Jack Russell

OK, I'm worried. I have the sweetest ever Jack Russell Terrier. She will be 8 years old in April and I have had her since 8 weeks. She has never been hyper, does not bark, and behaves like a little angel. Everyone loves her.
She goes EVERYWHERE with me.
Now, I have been feeding her Nutro Max Adult small bites forever. I just called a small pet store in my small town of Lake Tahoe and was basically told that I don't care about my dog if that is what I'm feeding her. Does anyone know just how bad it is?? What advise do you have to help me get her on the right food? How do you know what food is right for your specific dog??
Please help!

If she's doing well on that food, then don't worry about what someone working at a pet store told you. You know your dog best and if she's thriving and her poops are firm and normal, she's good. There are a lot of high quality foods that are out there that may be considered better than Nutro Max but, at the same time, sometimes those foods don't agree with dogs for one reason or another, too.

Ultimately, don't be bummed about it and forget what that person told you. If your dog is happy and healthy, that's all that matters.
Your dog sounds happy healthy and well loved so leave her on her food. Why fix it if it isnt broken?
