Please recommend me your dried food!

Following on from my Nutro thread, what dried food can anyone recommend me? My dog is a 8 1/2 year old dobie who has a sensitive gut and suffers from dry/patchy skin/coat.

Thanks!

Arden Grange Sensitive Fish and Potato I have had some good results with it.

Skinners duck & rice hypoallergenic

Quality/price, it seems a well balanced and good food

Thanks for the suggestions. I did switch to Autarky as it was a lot cheaper than the Genesis I was using but then when it came and I read the feeding instructions, yes it was half the price but you had to feed twice as much!! How can I tell before buying a product what the feeding quantity is? At the moment he has 2 full cups per day (the cup is one of the standard plastic feed cups most feeds come with).

From Autarky website:
Ingredients:
Maize, chicken meat meal, rice, chicken fat, green vegetables, carrots, whole linseed, prairie meal, yeast, herbs, spices, seaweed, yucca extract, with EC permitted antioxidants: mixed tocopherols, vitamin C and rosemary extract

The 1st and the most important component of this food is maize, (dogs are not chicken) - very bad food in MHO.
Don't feed your dogs with this. Sometimes the initial investment in a good food pay in medium terms, as you will need less quantitiy to mantain your dog.

GENESIS contains Menadione
Vitamin K3, synthetic vitamin K.

Also listed as Menadione Dimethyl-Pyrimidinol Bisulfate, Menadione Dimethyl-Pyrimidinol Bisulfite, Menadione Sodium Bisulfate Complex, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite and Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex.

Unnecessary ingredient in dog food. This synthetic version of vitamin K has not been specifically approved for long term use, such as in pet food. It has been linked to many serious health issues

Also Sodium Chloride
A colorless or white crystalline solid, chiefly sodium chloride, used extensively in ground or granulated form as a food seasoning and preservative. May also appear in ingredient list as "Iodized Salt" (iodine supplement added), "Sea Salt" (as opposed to salt mined from underground deposits) or "Sodium Chloride" (chemical expression).

While salt is a necessary mineral, it is also generally present in sufficient quantities in the ingredients pet foods include. Just like for humans, too much sodium intake is unhealthy for animals. In poor quality foods it is often used in large amounts to add flavor and make the food more interesting.

Genesis also not a good food.

Just read the label in the food sac, or visit their website.

Thanks I buy online so no bag to look at.

So Genesis and Nutro and Autarky are no-no's.

Skinners is ok or the others you recommended is Orjin but that is a bit expensive. What about Arden Grange as Carole recommends?

Arden Grange is a very good food (price/quality)

Doh....I'm just looking into the Skinners as the price is good and you say its ingrediants are good. None of the pet shops that sell it have info about how much to feed so I've googled the skinners site and even that doesn't tell me how much to feed? I don't want to get stung like with the Autarky where it seems good but you have to feed vast amounts!! What am missing - how can I tell how much to feed?!
