Just want input on this ingredients of this brand of dog food, im not trying to feed my best friend old yeller, or ol' roy. these ingredients sound exceptional compared to old yeller & ol roy's first ingredients being corn.
Chicken, chicken meal, whole grain brown rice, white rice, cracked pearled barley, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), oatmeal, beet pulp, egg product, flaxseed, natural chicken flavor, fish meal, potassium chloride, choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin, vitamin D supplement, folic acid.
this is priced at $20 for 35 or 40lbs, still a cheaper food but not as cheap as t 9.99 for old yeller 50lbs

Not very impressive. Too much rice, the white rice especially is AWFUL, and there are artificial flavors and additives out the wazoo... not to mention there's no fruit or vegetables!
I'd go with a different brand. Here's some to try:
Artemis, Wellness, Merrick, Innova Evo, Canidae, Professional, Solid Gold, Orijen, Chicken Soup.

Unless it's human consumable chicken it can be a problem for some dogs, not to mention egg product(just what is that?), and barley is another allergen.
I'm feeding my chihuahuas California Natural products...Lamb and Rice.

Sounds great except for the beet pulp which has been known to cause dogs to chew their skin (itchy) and lick swollen feet, beet pulp is sugar. The rest is great!
One of the big things missing from any ingredient list, is the QUALITY of the ingredients. For example, two products could list chicken or chicken meal but you would not know from the list, if it is pet grade chicken, meaning unfit for human consumption. Pet-grade could include the diseased-ridden, e.g. salmonella-infected, rejects.

Just get some Canidae. It's tasty and very good for them. And not full of fillers. And don't worry about the price. A little more isn't going to break you.

Try it.
If your dog does well on this food, stick with it. If not, try something different.
