Welcome to YT!! We are happy to have you here!!!
You are smart to check out the ingredients. The things you want to avoid are CORN, WHEAT OR SOY, AND BY-PRODUCTS. The corn, wheat and soy can cause itchy skin since they are known allergens that should be avoided. They do not serve any nutritional value and are mainly cheap fillers. The by-products are the parts of animals that aren't fit for consumption.
Here is a link to a video if you are interested. It will tell you a lot about commercial foods. There is also a comparison to some of the popular foods.

Whatever you decide on, just go really slowly on the transition to the new food. Gradually replace what she is eating now with the new food to help prevent any tummy upset.
