What brand of food do you feed? - And which variety of that food (protein and fat %)?
Dad's (not exactly sure of the details of the food).

I don't know if my wallet can handle the really expensive food, but if that's what it'll take.
We REALLY need to know what the dog is currently eating.

Actually "expensive" food doesn't cost hardly any more than cheap food -- this is because of the amount that the dog needs to eat. If a food costs $0.50 a pound and you have to feed two pounds a day, it comes out to $1.00 a day. If a food costs $1.00 a pound, and you only have to feed one pound a day, it still comes out to $1.00 a day. Plus, with a premium food, there is much less poop to clean up and the dog is getting much more complete nutrition without having to add supplements.

I feed my dog Eagle Pack Power Formula. It costs me $35.xx for a 40 lb bag. But I only have to feed him 3 to 3.5 cups a day (depends on how much he's working and how cold it is).
