LOL...I should have told you that most vets will recommend against it. And isn't it funny that kibble has only been around for 50 years or so? What the heck did dogs eat before that? Raw meat and bones and table scraps. Amazing how we didn't see the increased incidence of cancers, obesity, and other diseases like we do now. But Vets are doctors not nutritionists. Nutrition is not one of the required classes in order to obtain their DVM - isn't that something? Any classes that are offered are voluntary and usually put on by Hill's and Waltham (they make Hill's and Science Diet). If you want nutrition advice, find a Holistic vet or a Canine Nutritionist. Or do research and make your own informed decision.
Here is a great link for the myths on raw.

Yes. Eagle Pack is a good food. As for the vet, it's good that she is established and you should have someone on your side with that sort of knowledge. Take her word for what it is and that's experience and then do your own research.

I feed Orijen to my dogs and my cat. It's the best dry kibble I've found. It's quite similar to Innova EVO but has a lower ash content. I also like Timberwolf Organics but it upset Tank's stomach. I've had no problems with Orijen...only a very positive experience! As far as wet food goes, I feed Merrick on a very limited basis. I've noticed that too much wet food for Tank (the Bulldog) leads to HORRENDOUS gas! Not good.

Anyway, I hope this helps. Look at the pet food analysis site and pick a food from either the 5th or 6th star category. IMO there's no reason to feed anything of lesser quality. Yes, it may be a bit more expensive but with a higher quality food you will be feeding less and you will be helping your pets to lead healthier lives, which you can't put a price on.

Good luck!
