All my dogs are on DVP's Venison & Brown Rice. All look great, act great, & work great on this food.
However, just remember that dogs are individuals & what works well for one person's animal won't necessarily work well for your own. For instance, I personally don't like Canidae. I wonn't touch another bag of it with a 10 ft pole. 3 of my dogs had severe food allergies to it (the sunflower oil), & the majority of the rest pooped like 5 times a day on it & had awful dry/dull coats that shed horribly all the time. 2 of my dogs did well on it, but that wasn't enough to make me won't to deal with how shitty the rest of them looked.
On DVP, all my dog's have bright, shiny coats, poop once, maybe twice a day, & act well & have plenty of energy to work. But again, that's just my experience.
My dogs also did well on Nature's Variety but it's soooo **** expensive ($50 for a 30lb bag & it seems we go through that in one day).

Just because a food is "pricey", doesn't mean it's considered "High quality"
Beneful, although LOOKS like there's meat, veggies etc, is actually food coloring. All those bright colors attact the consumer, so it looks the "best" and people will buy it.
The truth is, Beneful and Iams, as I said before..or maybe after this post I quoted, are horrible foods. I mean, not HORRIBLE, but not GOOD foods.
They're filled with fillers, corn, colors, and crap. No nutritional value there.
Like everyone has so kindly suggested, try Natural Balance, Innova, Neutro, etc. Those are considered to be "Good" "WHolesome" foods
Also, do NOT switch your dogs food cold turkey. It's something you need to take slow, and gradually mix. It took me a week or so to do it. It doesn't HAVE to take that long, but that's what I'd recommend.
Does any of that help?
