Looks like dog feed going up wondering what y'all are feeding that is working what you having to pay for it

Man my wallet is still burning for that bag of diamond I bought yesterday.  39.00 for 50 pds.   I usually feed sportsmix but they was out.   It was still the same for the sportsmix last week but who knows now.

I feed showtime 24/20 @ $30/50

I feed "Victor high energy" 24/20 40lb bag right around $40
To my younger dogs and I feed "Victor performance" 26/18 40lb bag with glucosamine and chondroitin to my older dogs I think it's $42+.To me the cost is worth it for the performance benefits I see especially the older dogs I feed performance to.I also buy in bulk.

Not a huge jump but it’s slowly been increasing since Covid.

April 2020 : showtime 24/20 - $28.50

March 2022 : showtime 24/20 -$30.80

I used to feed the red bag Victor but it kept going up in price, got up to $43/40lbs and I decided to switch. I moved over to the orange bag of Pride, I think it’s 27/20. It’s orange and has a wolf on the front. It’s only $25/50lbs and the dogs look just as good on it as they did on the Victor food. The kibble is real dark and oily, they have good solid stools, and keep weight great with a nice looking coat. I’ve been using it for a few years now and don’t plan to use anything else at this time.

High enough to not feed a sorry one! Lol

Went from feeding blue bag of retriever to extreme dog fuel 24/20. It was $28 a bag flat. Absolutely loved it. Was having to drive an hour to get it and was buying 10 bags at a time. It’s now went up to $30 a bag. So I switched to black gold 26/18 and it is $30 a bag as of right now. Only have fed the black gold around a week but sure am liking it.

Just this morning the Biden administration announced that they will increase the ethanol  to the gas to fight high fuel prices…

Our mpg will fall off…the price of dog food will go up…the price of beef will go up…I’m trying to keep politics out but it seems the left is trying to bankrupt our great country…

Went and bought 4 bags of black gold after I posted my comment above. Went up since last week. $32 a bag now.

Don’t worry about it boys.   Biden said he’s gonna fix everything next yr.   

I bet he will get it lined out for us next year I ain't called and priced it in couple weeks but I am fixing to have to buy some so fixing to find out what it is

According to Sleepy Joe everything was Trumps fault…after he wore that one out then it was due to Covid 19 and now it is Putin’s fault…he and his administration have to blame someone else…what scares me is that many believe those lies…they need to tune in to the FOX NEWS CHANNEL and see the truth as to what’s going on in our country today…don’t be the sheep being led to slaughter…

Inflation really started taking off the first week Biden was in office and has risen by leaps and bounds ever since…the main reason why…he shutdown the keystone pipeline project and increased rules and regulations for the oil production here in the USA…

He increased buying oil from Russia and now Russia is jacking the price up because he can…if no producers are here he can raise the price about as high as we can afford…when the price gets high enough that our oil producers feel they can make a profit then Russia will drop the prices until our producers drop out of the oil business again…the thing to do is get the dumocrats out of office to save our country…

If we crank up oil production in the states and Russia drops their oil prices we must be strong and buy American…because we know the Russian game…they learned it from OPEC…

  I have been feeding Pride 24/20.  It has jumped up from 23.00 a bag to 26.00 a bag and that is by the Pallet.

Showtime jumped $2 last week here in Texas

I went back to blue bag retriever because it’s 23.99 a bag for 50 lbs (25.96 with tax)
Idk what the pallet price is

Those feeding retriever do y’all have problems with them getting hot quicker or burn out? I fed it all winter but boy once it started getting warm I had to make the switch. I went to extreme and jumped to red bag valu pac

Does more ethanol really decrease gas mileage? I was just saying how it doesn’t seem I can go as far on this higher dollar fuel


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1.5 gallons of pure ethanol has the same energy value of 1 gallon of regular unleaded gasoline…
E85 MPG is 76 percent of what a gallon of gasoline will get…

In a little over a year Valu Pak black bag went from 30 bucks a bag to almost 43 dollars for a bag…

I know value pak has went up I bought pallet of 26/18 blue bag a month or so ago 28.50 a bag

I bought 4 blue bags this past weekend for $175.00 tax included…

Just bought second pallet of 24/20 the pride dogs doing good on it so far last time I went to buy dog feed everybody around here was out of Valu pak so I found place I had to drive little ways to get 24/20 pride but like it so far just bought another pallet of it

NLA Hunter I wish we could get Pride here in north Texas………sure would like to try it.


Reuben how did your dogs do on the black sack of Valu Pak?  Mine liked it, but they just didn’t hold well no matter how much I fed them. The dealer here only sells the black bag and the silver bag. Silver was $2 more, but they look a lot better on it.

I feed Valu pak for few years my dogs did fine on it I mainly feed the silver bag but did feed a pallet of black and blue bag and they did ok on it

Jsh…my dogs are doing fairly good on the VALU PAK black bag…my 9 week old pups are looking about as good as pups could look feeding them from the black bag…their coats are slick and shiny…

I am now paying $44.59 for a 50# bag…and it is about the cheapest I’ve found for the black bag…

Many say good things about pride dog food and the prices are lower than other comparable dog foods…I would like to try it but we don’t have any vendors that carry it in my area…

Purple  valu pak 30-20 pair $42.60 last week. Was at $38.something in the summer

Uhhhh weeeee y’all rich folks! If you only have 3-4 dogs I can see paying it, but any more than that and that starts adding up pretty quick. I’m paying $36/50 for the showtime 24/20. So far it’s been doing a good job as far as the dogs looking good. I tried to switch over to the River Run 24/20 recently because it was several dollars a sack cheaper. It ran alright, right through my dogs. I gradually switched them onto it and instantly their stools were very loose. By the time I was feeding it by itself I was having to feed half again as much just to maintain the same body weights. They also didn’t like it as well. I stuck with it for a while but they never adjusted and I got tired of the cow patties. They were getting more feed so naturally they were using the bathroom more. More trips and more volume that didn’t have any form on top having to feed a lot more didn’t justify the price savings. I was probably spending as much or more because of feeding more. I’ll stick with the Showtime until they price themselves out of business with me.

Blue retriever got over $30 a bag so went to a better quality feed if im spending 30+ black gold 24/20 50# for $35 a bag


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I liked the black gold when I fed it years ago. I don’t know if it’s still the same quality


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes black gold use to be good quality feed nobody around here carries it anymore that I have seen

You shouldn’t drive such a fancy truck


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cajun…think and say the exact same thing…lol

T dog  lol That is a 2013 and has been paid off since 2016.  With the prices of New trucks, I believe I will be driving that truck the rest of my life unless I sell my dogs and then I can up my standard of living. lol

I feed black gold $33-35 a sack. Started out at $30 6-8 months ago. I feed 4 bags a week and my dogs dog great on it. Do even better when hunting they seem to have more energy and don’t burn out like other feed. As long as I can afford it I’ll feed it. Pretty much the same thing as showtime but it’s 26/18.
I feed sportsmix when they are out it’s running $30-$33 no tax but i hate the fact feeding it knowing it’s been recalled 9+ times.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I fed sportsmix for many years and all of a sudden my dogs lost weight and I had to increase feed…and then several had severe ear infections…I treated for ear mites and no improvement…I swapped feeds and all dogs were doing better after the first week and back to normal after about a month…there wasn’t a recall at that time…

Lol I hear ya Cajun, it’s ridiculous how high they’ve gotten. Your old truck does look good though. You obviously take care of it. How long does a pallet last you Cajun?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup I fed the blue bag for months. Dogs done great then with in a few days they looked like they haven’t been fed in a week! So I swapped to Black gold and haven’t looked back.
 Red bag valu pack done the same thing.
