I use original tinned chappie plus omega original for mine and they do very well on it, well formed poo, nice coats, plenty of energy.
One of mine is rice intolerant so I don't use the chicken and rice.
Any tummy troubles I drop the omega and just use Chappie for a day or two.
My vet recommends it for dog with delicate tummys.
When one of mine was ill recently and vomiting blood the (very expensive) specialist internal medicine vet insisted he had a food allergy-related IBD (despite the history and symptoms not fitting, and I already avoid the rice I know he doesn't do well with
) and insisted I feed him on a dry Eukanuba potato and fish exclusion diet (also prohibited me from giving him a home cooked exclusion diet) that was at least three times more expensive that Chappie.
Even when fed 50% more that the recommendation for his weight he didn't regain any of his lost weight after 10 days and he started to get dark, loose faeces and had no energy
.
My regular vet said put him back on Chappie. His stomach stayed fine, his energy increased and he went from 26 kg to 27.5 kg in 10 days on the weight-recommended amount.
More expensive isn't always better
