HI
Ray is on orijen, not a cheap one, but I can now pick up the stools no prob..

have a look at the ingredients though, some people are weary of loads of protein, but if you head in the no grain direction and more protein you have to be sure those proteins are of a good source, orijen is excellent that way. It has no rubbish preservatives and everything is sourced fresh in Canada where the food is produced.

I feed my dog a smaller then recommended amount because he is still young, but for adult dogs orijen is great.. your dog is only 8 months old and I don't know much about beagles, but I know they are not exactly a lethargic breed so he should turn all that protein into muscle no prob... you can always check the exatct composition and review here and bring it to your vet (which most likely will have never heard of orijen in the first place
