What is a healthy, inexpensive dog food for my dogs?

I have 5 dogs, and I have been feeding them Blue Buffalo canned dog foods along with Blue Buffalo dry foods. The food is rather expensive though, and I can no longer afford to pay so much for their food. I do not want to feed them a crappy low quality food with fillers and by-products, but I cannot afford to buy them the absolute healthiest of foods. What would be a good food to feed them that won’t break my bank?

    Taste of the Wild
    Origen
    are two that I recommed. Though they seem expensive, you feed less of it to your dog.
    If you want the healthy stuff, you’re gonna have to pay for it. May be find a home for one dog, and that will save you money.

    Don’t go for gimmicky food. That food is overpriced and is just capitalizing on trends.

    Also don’t go for the cheapest store brand food. That food is meant for dogs of all ages(puppies to seniors) and might give you’re dogs too much nutrients that they don’t need.

    The best is the middle road. Hill’s and Royal Canin make the best food because they scientifically test all of it and are animal diet specialists. Iams isn’t too far off either. The first two can only be purchased at the vet.

    I feed my pets at home, science diet and prescription diet by Hill’s

    I hear Presidents Choice dog food it good, because it has no corn products!! I feed my dogs pedigree healthy vitality. They are very healthy dogs. But it does have corn as its number one ingrediant, so im thinking of switching!
