I am looking for suggestions of a good kibble that doesn't contain any of the following ingredients:

pork, duck, rabbit, rice, potatoes, barley, oats, yeast

I have one dog allergic to all of those. Most of the time I just make the dog food myself so I know exactly what's going in it, but I admit to being very lazy sometimes, so I like to keep a bag of kibble on hand. I've been using Instinct but I'm not really happy with it.

The Acana grasslands is a grain free lamb formula that might fit the bill. Here's a link:

Natural Balance makes some limited ingredient foods including a venison & sweet potatoe, fish & sweet potato or a chicken & sweet potatoe. I imagine sweet potato is different than regular potato.

I'm still looking at differences between a good dog food.

Which is a better food Acana or Natural Balance?

I meant to add; we just started trying Acana food and I got the Natural Balance treats, he likes both but LOVES the Natural Balance treats!

Sorry to asking a different question than the OPs.

You might also consider Horizon Legacy which uses chicken, turkey and salmon as protein and peas as a carb binder. http://www.horizonpetfood.com/Products/dog_legacy.html

It depends on what you're looking for. If you want kibble with higher meat-based protein, Acana is better. If you want to feed food from a company that manufacturers their own food only and in their own facility, Acana is better. If other factors (availability, limited ingredients, etc.) are important to you, then the answer may change.

The Rice part is gonna make this tough.

It looks like you are searching for a dog that has Allergies.

Even California Natural, one of the best non-allergenic foods available, has Rice in it.

Thanks for your answer! We're still in transition but he really likes it (The Pacifica Acana).
