Is there ANY dry kibble out there that will give him the adequate nutrition that my dog needs?

Full Question:
HI Cindy,

First I just wanted to thank you for your excellent web-site and DVDs. They have been a god-send for me and my 12 month old GSD (He is a great grandson of Otis).

After reading your web-site, and watching Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 8 Months and Basic Dog Obedience about a million times, I decided to try out the BARF diet and see how my boy does on it. After a few weeks of gradually incorporating it into his diet, he now won't even look at his Solid Gold kibble! The only problem is, the cost has been much more then I anticipated. I was feeding him Nature's Variety raw lamb and chicken mixes, but the cost is just too much. I found your article on Honest Kitchen dehydrated food, but unless my math is off, that will be about $85 a month to feed him that. (He's now about 75lbs).

My question is, is there ANY dry kibble out there that will give him the adequate nutrition that he needs? I went to a holistic pet food store recently, and they seem to think that there are some grain-free dry foods out there that are pretty good.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would definitely go grain free if I had to feed kibble.

The brands I have personal experience with are Innova EVO and Orijen. I would probably try a couple of different brands and see how your dog does on them.

I hope this helps,
Cindy
