Thanks for the information. Im trying to do my homework so I can make an educated decision since there's alot I didnt know about dog food.According to my Vet, Samson doesnt neccessarily have allergies but may have some intestinal scare damage from his days eating as a stray. And boy do I know he would eat anything if I let him!!!LOL. I am trying to find something that doesnt include those products that commonly irritate other dogs, hoping to better my chances b/c I really hate to put him thru the trial and error that we nt thru in the begining.Thanks again, and I will look into that Black gold, Im not familiar.
