Actually there are a lot of dog foods that don't change their formula with 
meat prices.  Reading the ingredients makes a big difference.  Meat meal 
can be anything, but chicken must be chicken.  In any case the most common 
source of skin allergy in the diet is corn, so I choose foods without it.
