I know a lot of people that feed holistic eagle that like it because it has no corn.

You could also try chicken wellness, innova, canidae, halo, or the honest kitchen.

I prefer to feed raw, but a lot of people that i know have fed the above kibbles and had success with them. You can also look at the whole dog journal list of top rated (in their opinion) dry and wet foods.

I would personally stay away fom iams just because it has a lot of grain and i read in an article that they had some animal testing issues.
The other thing i would reccomned is to stay away from large breed formulas (exception being eagle), and to stop feeding puppy food around 4 months of age (switch to adult). Many breeders believe that switching to adult food can help reduce the risk of joint problems.
