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.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach! In my honest opinion, I am a big fan of Science Diet and Royal Canin as my go to recommended dog foods. Both brands offer very well balanced diets that have gone through extensive research. My late dog, that was 20 years old, was on science diet his entire life and I contribute part of his longevity to a great diet. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! All the good allergy foods have a comparable price. The best in my opinion is the Royal canin Ultamino. This is the one recommended by the dermatologists at my hospital. Good luck and have a great day!
