Thank you for all your help and advice. We ended up going with the canidae all stages lamb kibble. Our vet recommended lamb as the protein and liked what he saw in the ingredients from canidae. He wanted a puppy but was ok with all stages. We just started to slowly transition it in and will see how it goes.

All the ones I picked were either limited ingredients or sensitive stomach. I was looking at duck,
Rabbit or salmon as the main ingredient since was thinking chicken could be the problem as I looked it up that was mentioned.

Why shouldn’t you keep giving them fish as the main protein? I prefer not to have to switch food often.

Does anyone have experience with the castor and Pollux as that one looks nice but was adult and that worried me a bit. The canidea was the same.

My wife had found the wellness simple and liked the reviews about it. It is only 4 star but people were saying it helped with soft stools.

When we first were choosing the dog the local pet store suggested the taste of the wild and it has good reviews on chewy. But the puppy is only 4 star.

The nutrisca is rated 5 star on here so it looked interesting.

I don’t mind 4 star if it is the right one for my dogs.

Are any of the others I listed any good? Are there other options I should be looking at?

We were adding pumpkin and honest kitchen protein topper to the previous food. Not sure if we plan to do that with what we choose now.

The grain free part is least important to me compared to the no chicken and limited ingredients/sensitive stomach

I do like the castor one but it is adult so it sure if that is an issue. The others are either puppy or all life stages, so want to make sure get that right too outside of not having chicken in it. I looked at Fromm but didn’t see one that didn’t have chicken in it.

I am not attached to any brand I am more worried about getting the best food that fits my requirements (no chicken, limited ingredients/sensitive stomach, made in USA, age appropriate and no major recalls), that isn’t too expensive and can be purchased relatively easy (local store, amazon/chewy or petco/petsmart).

They seem fine otherwise. They play and fight and go in our yard. They are crated for their naps and bedtime.
