Best affordable dog food for my 2-year-old mutt with limited choices?

Question

Hello, I am an expat living in Nicaragua. My choices for dog food are limited to a dozen brands. I can buy Alpo, Dog Chow, Pedigree, Doggi and a few cheap Cargill brands. On the high end there is Pro Plan, ProPet, ProPac, Mira and Iams all of which are $100 for a 40lb bag. Can you recommend a good dog food from the list above. I really don't want to spend $100 for a bag of dog food if there is no reason to. My dog is a mutt with 40 doberman in him. He is 2 years old. and weigh about 38 lbs... Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 2 months old | 38 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Max. Higher quality food does make a difference in a dog, but you could see how he does on economical brand. You want him to eat the food and like it. He should have no vomiting or diarrhea on a new diet and should only have 2-3 bowel movements per day. He also needs to have a glossy coat. These are signs the diet is working for him. Of the cheaper brands, I would recommend Purina Dog Chow or Pedigree. Purina ProPlan and Iams will better options of the higher ends foods you listed. I hope this information helps!
