Canidae Pet Foods: My personal favorite. An excellent quality food that has always won the taste tests I have conducted with actual dogs. Their skin and coat looks great, and there is generally about a 50% reduction in poop since there is no filler (corn). You also need to feed less with this food, so it works out to about the same price as a cheaper food.
Orijen Dog Food: Top shelf food. Contains absolutely no filler (grains). Is 70%+ real human grade meat and the rest is fruits and veggies.
