Was just curious what everyone else was feeding and results seen from different feed. I was feeding sport mix had good luck out of it for good while few dogs got to where they just wouldn't eat it. After that I switched to show time at first went good all eating it good then had few dogs start breaking out get skin problems and couple quit eating it all together so I switched to Victor stated feeding hi pro plus was hunting a lot then this was in spring when I switch to Victor all my skin troubles cleared up they all eat it really good and look good hold up good and don't have to feed a lot. This summer wasn't hunting as much so older dogs eating Victor maintenance formula done good on it and few young dogs I mix the maintenance with high pro plus and they doing good on it and really like it. So I going stick with this Victor for now

I fed sportsmix for 7-8 yrs and absolutely loved it but a few years ago my dogs started falling off so started feeding victor and having great results with it.

went from sportsmix for many years to diamond hi energy for a few...seems like the dogs poop attracted more flies and sometimes it was runny stools and in the summer I had to cut way back so dogs wouldn't get over weight...on the diamond

my dogs are back on sportsmix 24/20 for the last 2 years or so...

Victor 24/20 red bag for adult dogs. Victor 30/20 baby blue bag for pups. Switch pups over to the 24/20 red bag around 6 months. Been feedin it for about 5 years. No issues. Nice firm stool. Easy clean up. Dogs seem to stay regular and empty out easily as long as you don't feed them too much. It is a little pricey but it seems to be worth it. Dogs have good energy on it. It is calorie dense feed so u have to watch how much u feed a dog with it. They'll blow up quick and run hot if u feed too much of it.

I know a lot of guys who feed sportmix that swear by it. I have thought about tryin it out but Victor has been workin too well to change. I only feed a few dogs. If I fed more I might consider something a little cheaper.

Ive been feeding sportsmix for at least 3 years now, probably longer. I love it, my dogs look good and act good on it.
