I use Fromm's food, very happy with it. They have several varieties to choose from, ranging in different prices. The Fromm's classic has a good price. Check FrommFamily.com to check the choices.
Hope you find something that will work out for you and the dogs.

We've been using the Diamond Chicken and Rice here. So far I haven't had a problem. Will start a close watch. Give me an idea when it started to give you a problem?

We also use Diamond Chicken and Rice for the girls. Stone gets Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Stomach. I know it's not the top line food, but it's the only thing that doesn't bother his stomach and he does great on it. A lot of long time Dobe people use it.
It matters to the one you save.

We started using Diamond C&R for Metro a while back and hes been having some incontinance issues. No soft stools yet but he seems to be off his normal potty schedule. I just got a new bag the other day so Ill be keeping a closer eye on his poops when we helps me with chores.

Wow you have a helper huh? We do too but I don't like the way Stone "helps" remove the poop from the yard!!!

Yes, I'm up with Lady Bug tonight. I think I will kill all of you if you are jinxing their food. And yes it is soft.

I hope all of you who are having these issues with this particular brand of food are contacting the company to report it. They need to know!
There was a previous thread about Diamond food just a couple months ago here. Some good information there, worth re-reading.
I've mentioned this before, but I switch brands every couple of months with my dogs. I have a few very trusted brands that even my slightly sensitive dog does well on. They include Holistic Select, Natural Balance, Fromm, Earthborn Holistic. I would consider these brands to be in the intermediate price range. A lower-priced brand that I have not tried but seems to have good reviews is Professional. Also, I am not a member of Costco, but I understand they have a brand called Kirkland. When we fostered a dog last year, he came with a bag of that. I believe it is lower-priced but has a decent ingredient list.

I ended up buying Purina Pro Plan for sensitive stomachs. $50 for a 33 lb bag. I think I might try buying it online at chewy.com, it's cheaper there. More expensive than Diamond but anything is better than cleaning up diarrhea. and yes, I plan on report this to the company!
