what is a better dog food

Discussion in 'Sports & Activities' started by middleweightch, Jun 24, 2007.

  1. i use diamond dog food but i am hearing that purina hi pro was better can i get some opinions on this cause the purina is 20 bucks for a 50lb bag with 27% protein and 15% fat while diamond is 30% protein and 20% fat

    Just those two to choose from? I'd probably go with the Diamond, just because I've fed Purina's most top-shelf food, and still found it lacking. Diamond is ehhh, but still better than Purina.

    i feed my yard high pro and have now for quite some time.to me it is a excellent food for my dogs and the price is not going to break the bank.i also like the fat protein levels,and the fact that it is available here in my area very easily.i never have to add anything to my dogs diet and they don't lack in anything.this is my personal experince with high pro but yours might vary becaus diffrent dogs do better on certain foods,some may not think so but they do.mine have always done good on purina high pro,no recalls,not a high dollar price tag,easily available,and in my opinion good protien fat levels thats why i chose that feed and so far it ain't let me down yet.

    To each their own. Some dogs will do well on anything. All I know is when we used to feed Dog Chow, our dogs looked like crap. (We didn't know it, because we'd never fed anything better.) Tried switching Jedi over to Pro Plan from Diamond, and it did him no favors whatsoever. The old man eats Canidae now, and is doing well. My preference is to pick the best food that I can afford, and go with that.

    dog chow is crap.mass produced for every breed of dog.high pro is the sporting dog variety like pro plan but high pro to me is much better than pro plan.but that dog chow is crap in my opinion.

  10. Jager, wow, that dog is amazing. Please pm me. I would love to get some info on that dog.
     
  11. Oh, and I feed Layla Diamond. Take a look, she has an amazing coat, maybe not the best food, but it is the best she has yet to try. Canidea caused her to break out.
     
  12. I have fed dog chow since my husband passed, trying to survive and at first they did really good, but now they will not eat it and have dropped weight so I
    personally do not recommend it. We use to use River Run and Good dog, they did good on those, I guess that is what I am gonna go back too. Diamond has had quite a few recalls, I was working for a Feed and Seed part time last year, and we had alot of people that would not buy it because of recalls. But a
    buddy of ours uses Diamond Maintance and does really good with it.

    Canidae is what im feeding and the dog is doing great on it, but i would love to feed timberwolf organics, but its just a little too pricey for me

    I feed Kirklands signature lamb, rice, and vegetable formula.. from Costco its the same thing as Diamond naturals. I pay $19 for 40lbs.. and all my dogs are doing great on it.. I tried to save a buck and switch to the chicken but they didn't do as well on it.. loose stools and such like that.. so they are back on the lamb.

    You might check the price on diamond.. i believe I'm only paying $17 for 40lbs.If its the same as what you feed why pay more.It may be higher though I get a couple bags of the lamb&rice, diamond-high energy ,about 500lbs of chicken feed and wormers frontline and whatnot everytime so I don't really keep up with the price unless in jumps up real bad and the man at my feed store lets me know everytime.
