EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Purina dog chow any good? I have Ben feeding my dogs this for five years and feed alot more at a time then y'all say you do alot of other brands I have 10 dogs now and want the best for  my money.

A good buddy of mine is a vet and he doesn't like it.  Doesn't have good ingredients, or enough of the right things, protein and fats or the wrong kind of fats.  One reason he said you feed less of a high quality dog food is it provides the dogs the right kinds of fats and proteins to maintain the dog and not fatten it up or end up crapping it out.  I use to feed the cheapest stuff I could get, Ol' Roy, was going through over 100 lbs a week, switched to Sportsmix and feed about 50 lbs every 2 weeks, no loss in body condition, actually look better now, and less crapping.

Sportmix way to go.

Best food for the money. I feed 20 dogs.

Where you gettin it at and how much.  TSC upped the price and lowered the amount on me.

TSC around $25 per 50 lbs bag.

dang last time i was in they were 25 bucks for 40lbs.

21 up here

sportsmix blue bag or black bag...start with a smaller amount of food and then work up...

the digestibility of protein is not created the same...hair is over 90% protein and is not digestible yet some cheap dog foods add some to boost the % protein in dog foods...also corn has protein and is digestible but not as digestible as meat or eggs...

Dang i didnt even answer the man's question.  I used to feed sportsmix black bag REALLY REALLLY liked it.  Now im feeding Retriever blue bag for no other reason than its cheaper.  Retriever is still decent feed but in my opinion  Sportsmix is better.

hell purina is a good feed they been at it a long long time , but as with everything you wind up paying more for the product to cover advertiseing cost and purina is one of the biggest advertisers there is . i wonder how much they could sell it for if they quit the advertiseing and took that billion dollars out of there budget ???

            heck yea

I used to feed sportsmix back to my pitbuls but got away from it when I started getting more dogs but will sure be picking back up on it

depending on where you are at i feed 24/20 star pro made by loanstar feeds it is good and i like it alot  i used to feed and sell spotsmix but they kept going up and i turned in my tax number when i moved . the loanstar keeps the dogs where i want them and it's only 24.95 a fifty pound bag .

I am near Beaumont texas

I see a lot feed sports mix is victor a good food? That's what I m feeding

Sportsmix is the way to go!

I've been feed Purina to my dogs since I was a kid and it's all my dad feed.  I have raise up puppys on it and they look like ccrap if I feed. Them anything else.   I don't really care for sportsmix.   I have to feed way more of it for some reason to keep my dogs looking decent.  I know that's opposite of everyone else but that's how it goes on my yard.

Retriever high pro is the way to go 20$ for a 50# bag and my dogs stay looking good.

Any brand of diamond dog food is good... You don't feed as much and your dog will look good... I feed purina my dogs never filled out... With in three months of feeding diamond my dogs look very healthy....

The simple answer is feed what your dogs do well on. Doesn't matter if it's Purina, Ol' Roy, Blue Buffalo, Pro Plan, etc.

This dog has been raised on Ol' Roy...

I think alot of it depends on the dog.. I feed blue bag retriever and like it.. My buddy feeds ol roy and he swears by it and his dogs always look great
