Couldn't agree more, willy. I started Kaiser off on Science Diet (not cheap food!). After a while, he started getting red spots on his belly that kind of resembled flea bites. My vet said it could be caused by his food and, sure enough, even with Science Diet, the number 1 ingredient is corn. Switched him to Iams Eukanuba (also not cheap!) and within days, the spots were gone and never came back. I believe chicken is the number one ingredient in the Eukanuba I buy.

I recently have been looking at alternatives to the Iams as it is about $50+ for a 40 pound bag (does that seem ridiculously high to anyone else?). The Kirkland is indeed rated as one of the best dog foods out there and is a surprisingly reasonable price in comparison to the other "good" foods.

Can't wait! Art has done a stunning job in caring for the pups. Awesome socialization with adults, kids, cats, and dogs.
