Royal Canin has a lot of corn in it - since your switching anyway, do a little more research, Nutro Natural Ultra, Merricks, Chicken Soup - look for one that the main ingredient is meat (not by products) and has no corn it. For a puppy look for something that is about 28% protein. Innova is a premium food, but they have a protein of like 42%!!! (way too high in my opinion), but it doesn't have any grains so that is probably why.

I'm feeding Nutro Natural Ultra now, but I fed Eukanuba for years without any health problems or coat problems. If he is doing well on what you have been feeding him and since you are going to have to change to an adult food at a year anyway, it probably wouldn't hurt to do some studying and just change foods when you find an adult formula you like.

Here's a good link to study up on some of the premium foods available.
