mine been eating blue buffalo since i brought him home, switching between chicken/lamb. Bought the biggest bag you can find in petsmart, way cheaper than buying 5lb bags, i think eventually it works out to be buy 4 and get 1 free (if you do the math $/lb)

I use Orijen. Same brand as acana but with higher meat content, free range animals (when applicable) higher protein, and less carbs. Its expensive as fuck though, although I truly believe a quality diet is an investment in health. It will save you money on vet bills, and have a happier pet. Acana is good quality food for a reasonable price, I'd say stick with it. Although what size acana food and diet are you picking up? 2 bags @ 70 bucks a month is a LOT of food. 2 big dogs I'm assuming? Also, Tisol has a deal with orijen, and I assume acana since they are the same company that when you buy 11 bags you get the 12th free.

Royal Canin. My dog loves it and has vomited like 3 times in 4 years so I will keep her on it. I have heard mixed reviews of the quality though and its not cheap.

My dog used to be on orijen, good food with a lot of meat content and no grains, but now he's on a dehydrated raw diet with honest kitchen. Approximately the same cost of orijen but probably a better food for them. For instance, when he got into his orijen bag, he overate and had the runs for the next couple days but when he got into the honest kitchen, he was fine so i'm guessing the dehydrated is less taxing on their body

is it wrong that my dog eats healthier than i do? lol.

I feed my dog Nutrience Original and have been since he was a puppy.
Never really (but I guess I should) bothered to look what be best for him since he has a great coat and he doesn't vomit and always eats his food.

My dogs been limited to Z/D hypoallergenic dog food for awhile now ... he developed allergies in the past ~year, but before that he had fresh chicken breast/eggs/ground beef on the daily and occasionally pork/lamb
Had bloodwork done and my dogs apparently allergic to chicken, beef, lamb, and duck. Anyone else got a hypoallergenic dog food their dog likes?

For my pug, I buy Acana light and fit, he used to be on the Costco Nature's Domain, but someone suggested I'd go light and fit with Acana since he's a pug. He'll eat anything i throw at him though, lol As a puppy he was on Orijen. The 30 pound bag costs $59.99 plus tax at Van pets, and they do have that buy 10 get one bag free deal.

I have my frenchie on acana Ranchlands. He was on kirkland before that. From what I was told, the salmon flavoured kirkland is made by taste of the wild.

For kibble we were giving ours Riplee's Ranch - they don't sell through stores, it's all home delivery. I'd usually split a half-can of tripe between the dogs to go with it.
The last few months though, they've all be on raw, either Nature's Instinct, or Primal - both are available in bags of 1oz portions that I can just thaw quickly in the microwave for them. Biggest plus has been that they all have small, solid poops that are never runny or mushy and so are very easy to pick up (especially good if someone has an accident indoors).
I'd swear, too, since they've been on raw, Taffy (14+) has been perkier, holding her head up more, and seems to be in noticeably better health.

I feed my dog Nutrience Natural for small breeds (small bites). She has a sensitive stomach and so far this is the best for her...

Used to buy Fromm until the local shop stopped carrying them. Then switched to Orijen. Fromm was cheaper than Orijen.
None of those two give any issues and my dog is healthy and his hair is pretty fine.
