Thanks for using Boop by Petco! 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
Royal Canin is one of my top choices! It meets AAFCO standards, runs their own feeding trials, and have veterinary nutritionists on staff. It's one of only four brands that have all this, the others are Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I feed my dogs Iams. I think you have Chloe on an excellent food and I would not change it! Keep up the good work :-)
As a regular food I would never recommend Royal Canin. As you pointed the ingredients are not the best, especially when compared to food such as Blue Buffalo and Orijen. Unfortunately sometimes a dog or cat need a prescription diet for a specific condition. Those conditions can greatly benefits from those special diets and Royal Canin is one of the best in that area.
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.
