I went to their website and this is what I copied for my food:

Lamb Meal, Ground Rice, Rice Flour, Rice Bran, Soybean Oil, Sunflower Oil (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of natural Vitamin E), Poultry Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of natural Vitamin E), Natural Flavors, Rice Gluten, Dried Egg Product, Dried Beet Pulp, Potassium Chloride, L-Lysine, Dried Kelp (source of Iodine), Salt, Choline Chloride, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Taurine, Ferrous Sulfate, Ascorbic Acid (source of Vitamin C), Biotin, Copper Proteinate, Niacin, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement (source of Vitamin B2), Vitamin A Supplement, Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Chondroitin Sulfate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (source of Vitamin B6), Thiamine Mononitrate (source of Vitamin B1), Vitamin D3 Supplement, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (source of Vitamin K activity), Calcium Iodate, Folic Acid.




Unless I'm nuts I don't see corn anywhere. What do you guys think? Should I try something else? My one dog seemed better on this food but perhaps there is something even better for him?? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
Lamb used to be the go to food for allergies but now since its so common in dog food dogs have gotten used to the protein. They will still be itchy on it. Most vet's now recommend different proteins like buffalo, fish, venison, and rabbit.

if your dog has been doing better on it with no itching then i'd leave him be. it could be that his allergies aren't that bad and the lamb and rice does the trick. for more severe allergies most dogs won't do good on lamb.
