Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are diets that are more inexpensive. I like Purina Pro Plan shredded blends. It is very good in terms of nutrition and relatively inexpensive. Good luck and have a good day!

Royal canin is significantly cheaper than Orijen, you might not be looking at the same bag size, just as an example from amazon- 17 lbs royal canin costs on amazon 41$, 13 lbs Orijen costs 61$: https://www.amazon.com/Champion-Foods-Orijen-Fish-Pound/dp/B01N2UB9PA/ref=pd_sim_199_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N2UB9PA&pd_rd_r=GBAQE7TYS67TAKYBRW6B&pd_rd_w=KikWg&pd_rd_wg=LKM7c&psc=1&refRID=GBAQE7TYS67TAKYBRW6B https://www.amazon.com/Royal-Canin-NUTRITION-Shepherd-30-Pound/dp/B0169JCDJ6/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1527739393&sr=1-4&th=1

The various sensitive skin formulas on Royal Canin's website all are listed to include grains. Royal Canin diets have not been known to correlate with the development of DCM in dogs, so I would not worry about this too much. If this diet is too expensive, consider discussing alternative options with your vet. A novel protein diet may be a reasonable option but it is hard to recommend a diet without knowing what the cause of your dog's allergies are. I recommend trying to buy larger bags as they are more cost-effective and consider price hunting on various websites.

Both of these foods are high quality, either one would be a great choice. Royal Canin makes a food specifically for German Shepherds, so you might consider giving this a try if you're unsure which one to choose :)

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Both are great diets. I personally prefer the Royal canin products as they tend to be of a proven high quality. Royal canin maxi starter contains an acceptable amount of fat that is good for a pup so I think this would be a good option for Binnu. Good luck!
