Last year I noticed the dog food I was feeding off and on for many years created a change in my dogs...I was having to increase the food to the dogs by about 25 percent so they would look healthy...I know exactly how much my dogs need in the winter and also in the summer...they were eating a winter time ration in the summer months...their coats were looking dry and one of the dogs was shaking his head really bad and he looked like he had a serious ear mite infection so I treated him for it and no improvement...
Two of my dogs also developed fatty growth under their skin...I swapped to value pack in the black bag and dogs got better within a couple weeks and then I swapped to value pack in the blue bag and the dogs coats are shiny and very healthy looking...of course they are getting a winter coat so I am sure that helps the looks as well...I also noticed that the fatty tumors were completely gone...

Around the time my dogs were having the issues with the dog food my midnight dog came down with lymphoma and the day came that I had to have him put down...he had been in his prime and on top of his game...it just came on all of a sudden...now I am beginning to think it was the dog food...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

It was very likely the feed. These companies sell out to new companies and they in turn fix what isn't broke trying to make mo money. That means going to cheaper ingredients etc.
