Linda,<br><br>Try one of the Taste of the Wild varieties. They are grain free, come in several varieties featuring less common meats and fish ingredients, score highly on the 'good food' tables, and are not really expensive either.<br>
<br>Available in most of the pet stores like Pet Food Express, independent stores, probably anywhere but PetSmart actually!<br><br>Addy<br><br><br clear="all">Message: 10<br>

This is a strange request. Lucy is allergic to barley, oatmeal,<br>
potatoes and duck as well as a myriad of other airborne pathogens.<br>
I've been feeding her Pet Smart's Authority with great success. From<br>
my investigation it appeared to be the best of the cheaper dog foods<br>
(without oatmeal and barley). Well, not only did they change their<br>
packaging, but they changed their ingredients to make it better.<br>
Unfortunately better is not good for my senior girl as they added oat<br>
groats to the mix. So now I'm faced with finding another dog food<br>
that isn't as good (isn't that a twist on the dog food survey) with no<br>
oatmeal and barley. Even Dad's has oatmeal now. Purina Senior<br>
doesn't, but the first three ingredients are corn and wheat.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of a dog food that meets Lucy's needs?<br>
