I get the kirkland brand dog food from costco for my two labs. They seem to do well on that and I supplement it with fish oil tablets for their coats. I also give them some eggs or left over meat when I can for some extra protein.
Weird,
THis is EXACTLY what I do for my GSP.
And I don't want to hear anyones take on how Costco food killed their friends, aunts, boss', third grade teachers poodle.
Any dog can have an issue with any food.

I do the same. I feed the salmon/sweet potato blend, then give fish oil. Haven't had any problems and my lab has lots of energy with a clean coat.

I feed my dogs Purina pro plan.
That's what I feed my lab to. He loves it. I've got no complaints.

Dr. Tim's is what the next hound will be fed. Rave reviews from people I respect, delivered to my door for less hastle, no filler= less doody scoopin' and if I have an issue or concern I can get on the horn and talk to Dr. Tim himself.
I think their food is advertised as fueling a third Iditarod winner in a row this year. Have heard lots of good things from some bird dog folks in the Midwest about Tim's stuff.

I don't do raw eggs anymore... it makes the anal gland act up too much.
Raw meat or bones on occasion, but not enough to be considered a supplement.

If I had big dogs and a costco card I would use the kirkland food again.

We've got our dog on Taste of the Wild. Spendy but her coat and teeth are in top shape.

I used to be a TOTW fan, but the company that makes the food for them has had too many salmonella cases for me to be confident in them any longer.

One of the bigger reasons for feeding quality feed is having to feed less of it to attain the same nutrition. Fewer & smaller piles to clean up too.

I feed my dogs Purina pro plan.
We had been feeding Amber Iam's but switched to Purina One Natural Instincts because it seemed like good quality and it was on sale. She LOVED it but had poor results (meaning diarrhea). So we switched to high-quality Merrick's with more poor results (although again, she LOVED it). Tried a Purina One sensitive recipe with poor results (also LOVED it...more diarrhea). Finally Purina Pro Plan seems to suit her system well, and she loves it. I am ordering it from Amazon.

I go for taste of the wild, but anything grain free is good for the dog. It seems like raw is ideal from what i've read

Now I'm using Victor high energy and the pup looks great, gobs of energy. Almost immediate difference when I switched feeds. Something in TOTW wasn't working for this dog. It's good feed, but you have to experiment with feeds some dogs do better or worse on different feeds.

Another britt I had died young 6yrs old :'( she was eating Loyal. Had lesions growing all over under her skin. No idea what killed her nor does the vet, she was in there a lot getting pus pockets cut out and testing, xrays. I can't blame the feed, but that was what she was eating. I won't buy it again *just in case*

Orijen...
The best dry food, but expensive. I use it as dog treats, but if I could afford it, that's what I'd get
