I feed my dog Science Diet Active. Recommended by both the Vet and the humane society I adopted her from. Rated 1 star by this site.
OK experts, what *should* I be feeding her. Requirements is it has to be a dry form dog food because I take her between my house, my parents, and my girlfriends place and don't have the time to buy all the fresh ingredients.
your pet food (only grabbing first couple of lines)

Less protein, less fat, more fiber.
I would highly recommend Avoderm. It's got a shit ton of vitamins/nutrients in it to help with your dog's well being + coat, and is a very low fat dog food so you don't have to worry (as much) about your dog getting super fat.
We free feed our dog + give him plenty of exercise, and he is a perfect weight/size for his breed.
