I also find that it's not necessarily the food but what is used to 
preserve the food.  Watch for BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin.....not to 
mention dyes in dog foods. Many times these are the ingredients that 
cause dogs to react or not thrive on certain foods.  I work part time 
at a boarding kennel and we see many dogs with hot spots, fatty 
tumors and in general poor condition.  Some of these dogs are on high 
quality dog food that is loaded with chemical preservatives.  Many 
times when these dogs are switched to * naturally preserved foods, 
these conditions clear up.  When evaluating a dog food not only the 
nutritional ingredients should be evaluated, but the percentage of 
protein, fat and type of preservatives and dyes should be considered.
