What does everyone think about Wellness Simple Solutions?

It seems a tad low in protein, but I need a reasonably priced, limited ingredient kibble from a reputable company. Yetti is doing great on Canisource (despite a recent episode of acute colitis due to drinking muddy water on a hike in the woods) but the company is so obscure, and the price quite high, I was thinking of switching. I have used Simple Solutions as training treats, and she seems to like them. Another option is Fromms Duck and Sweet Potato, which looks fantastic, but I am worried about all the additional ingredients. I am not going to switch until she recovers from her current episode (hoping it doesn't trigger a longer bout, fingers crossed) but I am going to stock up on some samples now, so your thoughts would be appreciated.

Most limited ingredient foods are going to be lower in protein. At 20%, Simple Solutions is definitely on the low side, but you really don't have many options if your dog has food sensitivities, other than home-cooking.

 You might try boosting the protein content by adding a scrambled or boiled egg to her meals...eggs are very easy on the digestive system.

Thanks for the reply. I actually just found another limited ingredient food that is a bit higher in protein: Petcurean's Go! Natural Duck (or the Salmon). Lower in fat and higher in fibre than Fromm - has probitoics like Fromm, but also includes digestive enzymes, which I have been supplementing. The company is also Canadian, which is a bonus for me, being a Canuck. I think Go! might be the best option for Yetti, she really seems to like the samples.

 

It is strange actually - she went from being this super picky eater as a young puppy, but now she will pretty much eat any kibble I offer her. I wonder if her prior pickiness was really just tummy upset?
