I would need more information before offering suggestions. Breed (or mix), age, activity level, and any health conditions the dog has are all factors you need to take into account when deciding on a food.

That said, the best food is one your dog does well on, likes to eat, and you can afford to feed.

I would probably go with a grain inclusive adult formula food, and see how he does on it. If he seems good after a couple of months, then stick with it. If he seems to not be doing as well as you'd like, then try a different formula.

Personally, I feed my two girls, a five year old American Pit Bull Terrier and an eight year old German Shepherd Dog, Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Salmon and Rice formula.

In the past, I've fed Science Diet, Fromm, Bil-Jac, Nutrisource, 4Health, and a bunch of other stuff. For these two, the Pro Plan seems to be the best option.

Thank you will try your suggestions.

The best food as Orijen????? Highly debatable and not worth the debate.

If you really want to tap into a natural diet for the dog, then do some research on Raw Feeding.

Otherwise, all kibble base foods have some level of negative ingredients. Yes, some are better than others, but all are highly processed and all have some level of additives.

We raw feed but its not for everyone. We have a seperate freezer for the dog meat and follow strict protocols with hand bowl and worktop washing etc. This level of cleanliness is not for everyone. But the rewards are great, Murphys allergies are now gone and Georges coat, a mess of greasy dandruff when we got him returned to a normal healthy coat in one month on raw.
