    Of course I'm going to say feed Raw.. but you may not want to do that. It would really help their coat though.

    Do you have a feed store nearby? If so, I'd recommend Canidae or California Natural. Both made my pups coats really nice.

    If you can only buy at Petsmart, Blue Buffalo is the best brand there. You should buy the Blue Buffalo in a big bag, though, because if you buy the smallest size it's almost $2/lb! If you have a Petco nearby, Natural Balance is a really good kibble at a good price. Adding a spoonful of fish oil or flaxseed oil to their kibble will help their coats, as does raw egg.

    Didn't nutro test positive for phenobarbital? Kirklands is better than nutro anyway. Authority, Wellness, or Chicken soup are all good brands to try.

    I've just recently been seeing chicken soup at work, I was considering it but wasn't sure if it was a good brand.

    I feed my 2 Canidae. They both love it and do very well on it, and IMO their coats look great!

    Okay, since you can't feed Raw (I'm sorry :/) then I guess I recommend Canidae, Innova EVO, Chicken Soup, etc. Good Luck, Bre!

    I don't know what PetSmart sells but Chicken Soup is a fairly good food. The ingredients are great! My boys were fed Chicken Soup before switching to raw.. they did really great on it!

    Chicken Soup can be good for many dogs, for some it's too rich. It does have good ingredients, and if it's readily available you might as well try it! Canidae is one of my favorites, still, because it is generally great for dogs of all ages/sizes, very affordable (cheaper than Chicken Soup) and it has high quality ingredients.

    I do not recommend Authority, as they use corn in all of their formulas (except maybe the Harvest Baked?). Wellness has also been going down hill since the new formula.

    Both are good foods, but I just wanted to add that Chicken Soup is cheaper than Canidae in my area, by about $7ish per large bag (40ish lbs) and can OFTEN be found on sale for even cheaper than that. Canidea however is rarely on sale in my area.

    I think just about any brand of kibble I would reccomend has already been listed.
