dry dogfood

I don't know how expensive Royal Canin is, but, you can get it at Petsmart, and, it's an excellent food.

If you don't want to pay $35/bag then maybe I can recommend you switch to Nutro?? Natural Choice is about $20 - $23 for a 20lb bag and the food is just AMAZING. My pups THRIVE on it!

I know you said you wanted to buy it at Petsmart.....but do you have a Costco near you? Their brand of dogfood (Kirkland signature) has excellent ingredients for the price....I could be wrong, but I think it's around $16-$17 for a 40 lb bag...and the first ingredients of the chicken and vegetables (what my mom feeds Reggie and Sydney) are like chicken, chicken meal, brown rice, etc. where as what I've seen of pedigree the first ingredient is usually corn.

I think Diamond dog food is a good quality inexpensive dry food.

I just bought my 3 some Nutro Ultra, the holistic stuff. It was rather expensive but all my dogs eat is dry kibble so I like to get them stuff that is tasty. My husband said they gobbled it all up in record time so I guess they like it.

Is that the Nutro with the cranberries and salmon in it? I know there is a lot of other stuff in it also. My hubby also bought my fur kids a bag of that. Omg, they loved it.

I feed my two Lamb Meal & Rice, but its really up to you what you want to feed!!

Royal Canin is a good food, but very expensive. I would say Pro Plan, Natural Choice, or Authority. You should go for a Salmon or a Lamb+Rice formula, it would help with the allergies. A lot of people feed Beneful, I don't know how good it is but its less expensive, and they have a Salmon formula.

I actually wouldn't recommend ProPlan. Nutro Natural Choice is actually cheaper and ProPlan has lots of fillers. I had my pups on it before I switched to Nutro and they did OK but not as good as I'd hoped, you know? Plus with Nutro I feed less. I agree though Royal Canin is rather expensive.

OH and Charlie had dry/itchy skin and once I switched him to Nutro this helped IMMENSLY. Nutro is the only food guaranteed by the US Government to improve skin and coat conditions.

EDIT: And Beneful is full of fillers and contains by-products so I wouldn't recommend that, either.. I actually don't recommend ANY of the Purina products
