Jaggy, what kind of dog is it? Some dogs prone to skin allergies and stomach upset do better on a food that is wheat-, soy-, and corn-free.

If you do some googling, there are a couple of sites that "grade" different dog food brands. We use Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance for our golden, but I am about to go experimenting again.

wag.com carries many, many good brands, and they free-ship to your door in 2 days. You can click on the brands to see the ingredients list. I like that free shipping since we buy big, heavy bags for our 88-lb guy.

And it is true that the quality of what goes in the front of the dog has a direct effect on the quality of what comes out the back. The less cheap filler, the smaller and firmer... Well, you get the idea.
