Reputable pet food manufacturers will usually offer pet food that balances nutritional requirements at different ages, weights and levels of activity.
The 2nd important factor to ensure your pet is getting just the best pet food, would be to research a little about the company manufacturing the food and the ingredients which are used in its production. Some companies at the more expensive range of the scale will use animal protein and other less expensive brands may contain cheaper bulking agents that will not be good for the pet. It is suggested by many researchers in the field of pet nutrition that cheaper pet foods have been false economy - when the amounts required to feed a pet are usually greater than the amount of a good nutritional pet food. So in fact spend a little more and use a little less to ensure you pet remains healthy and fit and won't become obese due to overfeeding.
