If the dog doesn't have a specific high-risk problem, I would try Pro Plan SSS, Annamaet Option or Farmina N&D Wild Cod.

This is the most ridiculous statement....I truly feel that Royal Canin prescription food has saved my Harley's life. We could not find the origin of his GI problems and after extensive tests at Texas A&M, the final suggestion was to try him on RC Hypoallergenic Hydrolyzed Protein food. Since putting him on this, no more bloody stools or vomiting....it's been several years and I've put all 3 of my pups on it. They have great teeth and no more GI upsets. I don't even purchase the food from my vet. If the vet you trust suggests the prescription food, I'd follow the advice...if you don't trust the advice, I'd find a new vet - not new food. Good luck!
