Catherine, Earthborne is a good brand. RC and Hills really are very very low in quality, so I’d just stay where you are with food.

Oh geez, that’s horrible about the ticks! I’m so fortunate to be in an area where parasites are minimal. When I first got Shasta as a pup (he was a giveaway – like those puppies you see for free by the corner of Walmart.), he had horrible worms (he had horrible living conditions…his mom actually died of the simple roundworm), so we gave him some wormer. He has had 4 ticks in his life so far. None of our other animals have ever had a tick. The dogs rarely suffer from fleas anymore since I sprinkle a little Borax underneath their kennel bedding, vacuum regularly, and give them regular baths. The vet tries to make me feel so guilty for not giving them preventatives, but I’ve heard all those nasty stories about reactions to those chemicals. I’d rather stick with my routine since it doesn’t seem to /not/ work.
