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.

Contrary to popular belief, there is not a 100% markup on dog food. It is not a big money maker, definitely not for a vet. If you were to open a pet store, the primary purpose of selling food would be to bring in customers in hope they would buy the more profitable items.
