Unfortunately, anything "comparable" is going to be just as awful as the Hills food, but I would definately seek a different solution. This food has no named meat source, and when the best thing a food has going for it is chicken by-product meal, that's a huge fed flag.
Ingredients:
Ground Whole Grain Corn, Brewers Rice, Dried Egg Product, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Gluten Meal, Pork Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Powdered Cellulose, Dicalcium Phosphate, Chicken Liver Flavor, Iodized Salt, Potassium Citrate, Choline Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Dried Beet Pulp, Soybean Oil, vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), Taurine, minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), Ethoxyquin (a preservative).
That being said, I can recommend a couple of things that might be great alternatives for you.
Have you considered a home prepared bland diet? Raw or cooked, home preparing your pet's diet is the only way to accurately pinpoint the true problem ingredients, and give you the peace of mind of knowing exactly what they're eating. Please join us in the raw section for further information and advice if you're interested in learning more.
If that's entirely out of the question, I recommend a higher quality bland diet. California Natural is as high quality "bland" commercial kibble as you can possibly find. It's leaps and bounds better than the Hills stuff, and definately more affordable.
If that's unavaliable in your area, you might want to look into Wellness Simple Solutions, Merrick Back to Basics, and lastly Natural Balance L.I.D. In my opinion, none of these are as good as the Cali Nat, but all are better than Hills, and all of them are gentile on the tummy. Of those, I'd use the L.I.D. last, as I find it to be the lowest quality of the options.
I am sure you'll get recommendations for grain free foods. I will throw my two cents out there, that grain free foods are very rich, and DEFINATELY need to be taken with caution with a dog that has a history of sensitive tummies. I do NOT recommend going grain free at this point in time.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to post any further questions, and keep us posted.
