Best dog food for Aussie?

I have a two year old Australian Sheperd who is just a bit plump.  I'm wondering what your recommendation is for a dog food that is both nutritionally sound and economical?

Thank you.

Thank you.  I'll go look around.  At least I know what to look for on the label!

My favorite commercial foods for dogs are the ones that contain no grains, low glycemic index carbohydrates approximately 25-28% protein and less than 11% fat (even less if your dog has a lot of weight to lose).  The fatter the dog the more Atkin's diet-like the diet should be.

There are a lot of brands out there and more formula's are literally being added daily.

Inova/Evo, Wellness grain-free, and Orijin are good brands, but may be hard to find locally, but are available online.  If you can find one with the above qualifications plus is Organic than buy it!  Let me know what you find.
