I'm always amazed at the particulars of picking dogfoods (or catfoods for that matter). Maybe it's because my dogs and cats are outside animals, at least 90% strays who moved in, and just don't have the kinds of allergies and problems I've heard here and elsewhere. Maybe it's because they're mostly mutts/mixed breeds--I do remember the two I've had over the years who did have psycho issues, and both were purebred maybe to the point of inbreeding. Dogs are omnivores anyway--not like they need pure meat and such--but if you listen to some of the pros they don't like Purina or any other storebrands at all, based on the grains and questionable meat byproducts.
In any case, I've always gone with Purina products, Gravy Train, or the like--purely dry so I can just keep the bowls filled instead of setting up a schedule. Never had issues. Just for a dare I went with a clone generic grocery brand the last time with my dogfood and was surprised to see they like it even better! No prob--it's cheaper, and I need more of both today so I'll likely pick another flavor of the same.
Biggest problem I've had is with other critters eating the food. Birds tear up both dogfood and catfood simply for strength of numbers--and there's a couple possums coming by that will wipe out the catfood whenever they sneak past the dogs. There was some other fella I didn't recognize in the yard--but my terrier took him out so he's not a problem any more.
