As far as commercial diets go, yes. To date Orijen is my 100% recommendation and is almost in a class of its own. Grain free is an important consideration for any dog, cat or ferret. We have to be wary though, because some of the 'grain free' foods are still very low in meat.
For example, potato isn't considered a grain of course, so a 90% potato 10% meat kibble could still very correctly be called 'grain free' and yet still be of relatively low quality. I'm thinking especially of the JWB 'cereal free' foods here, which despite the HUGE price tag is still only 26% meat - that's less than a lot of foods costing half the amount they're charging!
As always, I agree that a 100% raw diet is best. By raw I mean WHOLE raw meaty bones, whole carcases, and suchlike. Not ground up, minced concoctions full of grains, fruits and veggies. But when it comes to recommending a kibble, Orijen has my vote every time. I hope this was of some interest to you.
