Alternative to Raw AND RX Diet?

I got some of it for treats fro Che as they were on terrific sale at the local dog show, little crumbly as treats but are ok, not tooo happy with content- Mc Donalds are not better than Taco bell after all even if I prefer to eat at Taco bell if I have to...
I have to say that it takes less than a minute for Che to swallow his chicken necks, slightly more if I hold one end so he chews it better...
his evening meals are not messy at all as I use monthly prepared and prepackaged patties, so taken out of the freezer, thawed and put into his bowl- same as kibble by the cleaniness factor IMHO...
good luck with trying new food! I find that Che is pretty easy on new brands of stuff- I get occasional promotional bags of different kibble, like Orijen, Acana, Natural ??? etc- he never noticed difference...
funny story- I taught Che "stay" command and "find it" by using his chicken necks. I would put him in stay and then go outside, close the door or go to the second floor and hide his bowl... etc... he got really good at it and we recently demostrated our stay for everybody during our obedience class...
I taught him heeling while using kibble outside during our walks.... he does very good heeling inside or outside but with kibble...
I tried to do heeling with his chicken necks and he would not do it!!!!
have to keep chicken neck bowl in one hand and kibble in another to make him do it.... talk about dogs not being able to generalize....
 
If raw is not an option, but you like what's in it, then I would recommend you buy Blue Buffalo's Wilderness dog food. I also recommend that if you do decide on this food, to use the Salmon recipe.

I used to feed raw, but this is so much easier (and cheaper!) It's a 34% Protein, 15% Fat, which I really like. I can also say that I have seen it work WONDERS on coats. It's 100% grain free, no by-products, and I just really love it. Take a look at the link yourself. Petsmart sells them for about $50/24 lbs. (they might still have it on sale for people with a Petsmart card). If that is too much, then try mixing it with a cheaper food (with quality). Eukanuba Lamb and Rice formula for Adults is the same price but it's $50/35 lbs. The ingredients aren't bad; no by-products. I know some who mix it with Iams Lamb and Rice, but I don't like how they have by-products listed very high on the ingredients list (let only having by-products at all). I'm VERY picky with my dogs food, and the Wilderness Salmon recipe has made me really happy.
