EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I no this has been discussed over and over but what is y'all opinions on the best dogfood currently

for every brand out there there is someone that swears by it . i just feed 24/20 in several differant brands throughout the years . all about the same results  .

Victor red bag

x2 some chit more then others bout the only differance

one that you can aford to buy and feed everyday

ive been buying some stuff called value-pac made by specialty feeds out of memphis its mainly a meat based ingredients and its holding my dogs over great with a very little amount of feed when their not being hunted and a little more when their being hunted hard and there is very little to clean up in the kennels in the evening and just about every walker dog man in this part of country feeds it and they RUN their dogs year round

Goose... Where do you get it?

I feed the retriever blue bag and dogs do good on it.it would be better if the price would stay the same

   goose i feed the value=pak 24/20 also as of late switched from caliber a couple months ago and for 20 dollars a 50lb bag i have to say i like it .  i get mine at the co-op in canton tx.

I used to use Martin's Feed. Bad thing is you had to buy in by mailorder. But you got good bang for the buck. Dogs had lots of energy and looked real good.
Google: Martin's Canine Formula

Dang 55 dollars a bag!!! That must be some good stuff!!!

I've been feeding sport mix 24/20 but am curious about the value pack.  As soon as they get a distributor a lil closer to home I'm going to give it a shot.

Black bag of sportsmix 24/20

Diamond hi energy

Victory in green bag, or diamond chicken and rice.... Neither brand has corn.. Works good for my dogs...

I feed a smorgasbord, lol. I switch between retriever high energy, purina dog food, Diamond High Energy and Diamond Extreme Athlete.

I like the Extreme Athlete when I know I'll be working the dogs hard or its really cold weather.

anyone ever use river run 24/20 hi energy

Diamond high energy my dogs look great but they $h!t NASTY

That's what I used to feed and same problem.  Switched to sportsmix black bag 24/20 and problem solved.  I also don't have to feed quite as much to keep them looking good.

Diamond was a good feed 10 years ago...I had same problem. Stunk up the whole yard. I now feed sportsman pride 26/18 red bag

Diamond High Energy for me.

I feed Valu-Pak, I believe it's 24/20. $20.99 for a 50lb bag. My dogs shat/look/work very well on it, I am very pleased, and I am very picky when it comes to kibble. A few other folks around here that run dogs feed it to and like it alot.

How much do you guys pay for Victor out in TX? It's $45-50 a bag here in GA.

Yall gonna laugh at me and Am sure everybodys dogs are different but here last year the store ran out of my dog food.  So I bought a two three bags of Bites and Bones made by purina I thought well hex I will just use this till they get some more of mine in .  Thats been over a year ago and am still feeding it .  The dogs did really really well on it threw out all last year I couldnt believe it myself .  I thought it was just some old off the wall Purina which I have always hated but hey man the stool is good and hard it dont have a big smell to it at all and as far as I can tell the dogs all absorb it really well into their systems its been a dang good food for my dogs and they look good act good hunt good so hey I just been buying it ever since .

25.00 a bag for a full 50 lbs

Sportmix 24/20 works perfect for me.

I feed Diamond Naturals chicken & rice 26/18 . Dogs do very good on a small amount with very little waste. I was using diamond hi energy but it was a full time job keeping my chain spot clean !!

I buy Victor at $34 for a 40 lb bag.  The place I get it gives me a 10% discount for buying 6 bags at a time.  I've tried other dog foods but I always feel like my dogs look better and have more energy when I feed victor.

Where do y'all guys that feed victor live them prices are crazy I pay 25 and some change a bag.

I pay 27-30 for victor high energy...depending if I buy it in fort worth or Springsteen

**springtown

kitchen scraps  :)

I feed diamond Premium adult green and yellow bag pay like $31 after tax for 50lb bag.

2x. Always gave mine the chits

I feed Victor red bag and pay around $24 here at taylors feed in springhill, La I think you guys need to look for another place to get your victor. My dogs look and perform good on it have good solid waste.

i get the value pak at a gas station that carries feed as well here in southwest ms...ive tried every dog feed out there and have found this and showtime are the best bang for your buck

Liked diamond before it went through the roof.

Went back to blue bag retriever until it went up.

Now doin green bag 21% Retriever. For 18.99 bag.
Dogs are holding weight just fine and recently took a set and hunted three days straight with only a few hours to rest between hunts.
Last day the dogs pads were gone and legs were swollen from paws to shoulders ...but they were still rolling.  So energy has not been a minus with this feed.

Never have been able to figure folks affording these $30 plus a bag types unless you only have two dogs or make a helluva lot more cabbage than the rest of us.  ;D
