Is there a particular brand of dog food that you found that doesn't use fillers? How about some of the organic brands out there? Any info you have would be appreciated, thanks.
Here is some info on the brand I posted a pic of on #84.

No fillers. My daschund literally went after the bag when I brought it home. Her coat was nice and shiny after a few weeks.
They have an organic brand as well.
I feed my dog a brand of dog food I buy at the health food store. The brand name is Solid Gold, and Gypsy gets the large-breed maintenance variety, Wolf King made with Bison and Salmon meal. They have different varieties for the different size and energy-requirements of your dogs.
After struggling, and ultimately losing, a fight with cancer of my Golden/Brittany who had eaten Science Diet exclusively, I investigated dog foods, and was horrified to find what I had really been feeding her.
Solid Gold is a little pricey, but it's human-grade ingredients, and since there are no fillers, the poop piles are a lot smaller.
My cat is on their dry cat food, and she likes it, but it hasn't improved her disposition much.
All of these sites have great information about dog food and their ingredients. When you start looking at the "super-premium" foods it just becomes a matter of picking one and seeing if your dog likes the taste.
I started using Nature's Variety because it has a bunch of different flavors and one of the specialty pet stores nearby always has it in stock. I don't think it's any better than some of the others people have mentioned it is just the one I picked.
Some of the stores have an auto-ship option so you never have to worry about going out to pick-up food (and there is usually a discount when you set up an account).
Also, if you choose to go the BARF route, there companies that sell pre-packaged raw food.
