If that does not do the trick, you may just have to go to one of the grainless foods...but you cannot feed both of your dogs the same food. Orijen has a Large Breed Puppy food that would be fine for a Rottie puppy, but you cannot feed it the regular Adult formula till later.
You may also like to think about feeding raw. Then you would have complete control over the ingredients.

The website actually says they both have 11% fat and the chicken meal and rice says 21% in one place and 25% in another.
There is a 100 calorie per cup difference though...so you would certainly feed less and it would probably save you more money b/c the herring is sweet potato is a little more $$ than the other Ca Nat kibbles (at least at the 2 store located by me), and if it's higher in calories, means less actual kibble your dog will eat, the longer your bag will last :)
