Hi Jessica,
I did a lot of online research into the dog food issue a while ago, and I'm 
a pretty big fan of Blue Buffalo because of its healthy ingredients, 
relatively affordable price, and wide availability. When I switched my dog 
to it, his stools were a bit loose for a few weeks, but he's been doing 
great on it ever since. Not every food works for every dog though, so you 
might want to check out http://www.consumersearch.com/dog-food/review as a 
good starting place to look for other options. In their review, they list 
the websites they used as their sources which I found to be helpful as well. 
Best of luck, and congratulations on your new guide!
