Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Looking for GOOD Dog food

Fed Science Diet for years. Always felt it was worth it.

Now we have 5 dogs here and science diet prices have skyrocketed.

What's a good alternative?

I feed Diamond Natural Chicken and Rice.....about $35 for a 40# bag.....

I wouldn't know how it tastes.

Pro plan is what most serious dog guys use.

My vet told me Costco's food was good. Wish I knew.

Taste of the Wild has worked well for my English Cocker.

4Health at Tractor Supply.No grain.

Yep, great choice.
Victor makes great food free of fillers as well.

There is a reason some dogs live long lives. Our wirehaired griffons are almost 13 and 15 y/o respectively, their food is a huge reason why.

How people can throw Purina-type food full of artificially flavored and colored orange, green and red crap at their beloved pet is beyond me.

I personally feed Eukanuba but when working the Canine Program at the college we had a Phd. on hand that worked in the dog food industry for 20 years.He recommended the Costco brand, and we fed it exclusively with no problems.( He was also a Veterinarian..)

Good stuff. We feed our Great Dane and Schnauzers the Lamb and Rice version.

I've heard Costco's food is good....a couple of old field trialers I hunt with swear by it....
I stick with what I know....

Edit....I used to feed Pro Plan but my Cur dog has skin allergies and does better on the Diamond.....

Another vote for Pro Plan,I use the Focus chicken and rice formula

I feed Costco "Natures Domain" salmon and whatever. Good price and treats my dogs better than the Pro Plan I used to feed.

Mini dogs get Hills Science diet and my dad's heeler gets Blue Wilderness.

That stuff is damn near $3/lb, should be just grilling them up pork chops and chicken!

I fed all of my pointers Purina High Pro. It must not have hurt them too bad. Some of the Rebel bred dogs lasted 15 years. I had 8 to 10 dogs. I would buy a 1000 lb at a time. I kept it in an old ice cream box. I got a price break at that amount. Was a lot of dog crap to wash away.

feed my dogs Blue buffalo chicken and rice. They do fantastic on it. YMMV

We feed the dog Costo's Nature's Domain. They've got about 5 types and try to buy a different one each time to prevent allergy generation.

So far no issues with our 6 yo lab.

We get the same stuff from Big R. was going to buy the Blue Buffalo stuff and was told about the Diamond. Exact same ingredients at a lower price. Guess it is the lack of advertising.

I think Diamond produces about 75% of the food out there. A lot is just branded different.
