So, I've been wanting to switch my dogs to a food other than NB for a while. I'm just not sure what kind. I don't feel that my dogs are active enough to switch over to Evo. Other than that, I'm open to just about anything. I prefer something that isn't super high protein, but would be good for sensitive tummies. Can any one give me any ideas? I've been thinking about Eagle Pack or Canidae, but I'm not sure what formulas.

Why are you wanting to switch? If they are doing good, then go with it :)

But other than that, I feed Canidea ALS Chicken and Rice. My dogs are doing great on it. But I supplement with a lot, they also get Fish Oil, Vit E., and Canned Innova EVO Dog/Senior(have a senior dog), and are going to be starting with some yogurt and cottage cheese. ;)

I'm noticing that the dogs are getting dry skin, and are shedding a ton. I figured something with higher fat and protein might help. Also, what formula for Innova would you recommend?

Eagle Pack is GREAT for sensative tummies I found..

that was the ONLY food that Riot switched to as a puppy (when we went through all his puppy feeding issues) that he didn't get loose stools from.

My sensitive dog did very well on California Natural. I'd definitely recommend it if you can get it.

The only food Winston can eat is California Natural. He has a very sensitive stomach. All of my dogs are doing great on it!

California Natural has great foods for sensitive tummies.

We just switched Buddy to NB but I'm thinking Canidae is next on our list of foods to try... I'm not happy with the amount of food I have to feed and the cost of NB.

California Natural is a nice simple formula, but I find that the adult formulas are too low in protein/fat for my liking. If you decide on CN then you may want to feed the puppy formula instead of the adult. It's fine to do because it is labeled for all life stages and that way you get the benefit of higher protein/fat levels.

I have found that Eagle Pack (the holistic line) is usually a good choice as well. My dogs did terrific on it, but they aren't sensitive.

I think when it comes down to it, it's just what your dog tolerates, likes and thrives on.
