You should look at dogfoodanalysis.com perhaps something in the 4,5,6 star range will be good. Since you are in South Africa, I don't know what options you have there for dog food, but if any of them are available, you should try them.

You are spot on!
Unfortunately, most vets, as well as human physicians, are primarily trained in the anatomical functions and maintainance of the body.Very little emphasis is placed on nutritional sciences, except when you are becoming a vet specializing in the large animal category; such as bovine, equine, swine, or ovine.
