4. Taste of the Wild.

I swear by it! When I moved from Mississippi to Colorado my lab/shepherd mix developed some allergies and dry skin. Talked with a vet tech at a dog park and she recommended Taste of the Wild. His allergies cleared up in a month and his coat is so soft and shiny - and his overall health and vitality so good that many people comment on what a handsome young dog he is, even though he's almost 8 now.

When I moved in with my boyfriend, he had two cats he'd inherited from an ex who skipped town and left her cats. He was feeding them whatever was cheapest from the grocery store. the girl cat had awful mats in her dingy fur, the boy had horribly runny eyes, and they both barfed all the time. We switched them to TotW and now, a year later, her fur is soft, glossy and 100% mat-free, and his eyes have only a hint of the weepies. I'd say they're down form barfing daily to barfing 1x a month, mostly when they're stressed.

Taste of the Wild is made in the US. Full disclosure impels me to note that their parent company is Diamond Pet Foods which has had two recalls since 2005, neither of which involved their Taste of the Wild brand.
