Bud does not eat very much and I wanted what he did eat to count, not a lot of fillers. I did not change what I feed the other two Collies.
Just wanted to chime in on this. I've fed Diamond Naturals, then switched to Taste of the Wild and had very good results with both. My own paranoia over their ingredient sources and the company's (voluntary) recalls got me looking for something else.
I now feed "Earthborn" Holistic, and couldn't be happier. More nutrition, far less filler. In fact, my 75 lb boy maintains his weight on only two cups of kibble per day - about half the bulk of his previous kibble. As a bonus, clean up is minimal (concentrated food = concentrated poops ;))
As for my vets, one recommends the high-dollar food sold in their clinic, and the other thinks all dog food talk is hype and recommends Purina or any other name that's been around since the dawn of time. I looked at the Dog Food Advisor website, I read a lot of labels (ingredients as well as kcal/cup) and I tried a few brands to see what worked best. Earthborn it is. It's a bit pricey, but since I feed less I don't believe it's any costlier in the long run. And personally, I wouldn't care anyway. It works for my dog, it works for my daughters' dogs who have a hard time keeping weight on. It's definitely worth checking out if it's available in your area.
