Guess I need to fess up on this dog food issue! I know this has been talked about many times but I never had much concern about it. The dry food he has is maximum nutrition with lamb listed first and then rice. He has done well with so I didn't see a need to upgrade to food thats real expensive - but his coat is so dry and he is itchy all the time! With the lab we had b/4 Buddy had severe allergies and was dry and can food of duck and potatoes only for almost a yeaar and boy was it expensive. I don't mind buying the more expensive food but only if it would be truly better for him. What does anyone suggest?
