We finally broke down and had allergy testing done on our Cocker with bad allergies. And well, she's pretty much going to have to end up with a very simple food. As far as foods go, she is allergic to chicken, turkey, duck, barley, potato, carrots, peas, and I may be forgetting something but I think that's it.
So I was looking at the Wellness Simple Solutions Rice & Venison and the California Natural Lamb & Rice. Everyone at the pet store vehemently supported the Wellness, but neither were in store, so I couldn't look at the ingredients at the time. Looking at them now, it seems to be the California Natural might actually be better? Especially if it would be okay to use the puppy formula?
I realize Nutro also has a few formulas that would work, but she did not do very well back when she was eating Nutro Lamb & Rice several years ago, so I'm not too eager to try it again..

ETA: If it makes any difference, she is currently on Orijen until I get the new food. So this is going to be a huge drop in protein. It's too bad.. she seemed to be losing a little weight on grain-free. Raw unfortunately is not an option, as she is really my family's dog, not mine.
