What are some good lamb and rice dog foods available?

Nutro Natural Choice recently changed their lamb and rice formula, which has my dog not feeling the greatest. Now, I am looking for a new Lamb and Rice food to feed him. I would like to stick with a food comparable in price to Nutro's Lamb and Rice. All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

    Nutro isn't that good, they have had past re-calls.

    All dogs are different in what they like, and if it agrees with their stomaches.

    Some good quality foods are :

    Canidae

    http://www.canidae.com/

    Wellness

    Wellness CORE

    http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/

    Solid Gold

    http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/

    Taste of the Wild

    http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/

    Innova

    Eagle pack Holistic

    Chicken Soup for the dog Lovers Soul

    Orijen

    EVO

    Merrick

    Blue Buffalo

    Avoderm

    Never get low quality foods like :

    Cesar, Ol' Roy, Purina, Pedigree, Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, BilJac, Nutro , Dad's, Royal Canin, Mighty Dog

    Or ANY grocery Store brand!

    This website should be able to help you on picking out a good quality food. Stick on the 4-5-6 star range.

    Never get a dog food with Corn, Soy, and By-Products. But I would also suggest a wheat free dog food. When you change your dogs food to a better quality, you will notice these things :

    Firmer Stool, Glossier Coat, and better overall health.

    Some foods that are Great and the price is good for if you still want to feed your dog a good quality, but with a cheaper price. :

    Diamond NATURALS - Feed Store (Make sure to get the NATURAL kind, the regular stuff is crap!)

    Kirkland Signature - Costco

    Maxximum Nutrition - Walmart

    Flint River Ranch has a good lamb and millet (with rice) food.

    I have been feeding most of my dogs Flint River for the last few years, and I really like it. They have lots of energy, are well muscled, and their coats are beautiful. I used to feed Nutro or Iams, and I can see a difference.

    My old dog gets Innova Senior, which is REALLY expensive, but she acts like a new dog since I put her on it.

    Here is the Flint River site:

    I would consider Nutro a middle of line dog food. To find something comparable go to the website

    www.dogfoodanalysis.com or

    www.dogfoodproject.com

    I would personally recommend Innova or California Natural or Canidae.

    I don't really know anything about Nutro, but I just started feeding my dog Blue Buffalo and she loves it. It's very healthy. :-)
