Purina dog chow

I have a 10mo walker female that was on puppy chow till recently. She is now on dog chow beef flavored. I'm having great results with it. Good stools and looks good in general. I was feeding pride to my other dog and had decent results. As a former member of Pro club I fed Purina for years until switching to pride. But as long as she holds up under hard hunting I'm staying with dog chow. It isn't bad feed and priced right. Because of all they do for coonhunters I will stay with it. If I feel the need to improve the feed I will feed Purina 1 chicken. As pro plan is out of my price range.

Dog Chow

Dont be Misled by anyone......Purina Dog Chow is Great Dog Food. As a Fact.....Any Purina Food is Very Good and Purina has been around a long time.
Sam's Club has either 55# or 57# Bags of Dog Chow for $23 and you cant beat it. You can Buy Purina just about anywhere & that helps with getting it.

With the amount of hunting I do in decent weather couple of drops 3 or 4 nights a week I should be fine with dog chow. My landlord fed dog chow to his grand nite and all the other dogs he's had here and did well. I live on his farm and can make 5 drops right around the house. Pride is decent food butwith all Purina does for the coonhunter it's good feed and easy to get. My landlord hunted Taz pretty hard a few years ago and he competed at the highest level on it. Thanks for the info guys.

Ive fed about every feed on the market. Purina dog chow is definetly my favorite. Good all around feed for all seasons. My hounds look great and hunt great feeding this.

I bought some for $18 something at Sam’s club. Seems to be a alright feed but my dogs don’t hold up very well on it when hunted hard. A little extra Kennel clean up is one thing I notice with it.

Stopped at Sam’s Warehouse on account I was passing through and picked up 2 more 57# bags of the dog chow with real chicken...it was on sale for $17.98 per bag...
The plan is to keep mixing it 50/50 with value-pak...

Dog chow .... Shouldn't be more than .32¢ a lb ...that's all it's worth jmo.

I don't feed Dog Chow, but I looked it up Ground corn first ingredient. Third ingredient corn meal. Looks like it is mostly corn.

I'm curious. Who determined corn was bad? Why is it bad?

I’m pretty versed on how to read dog food ingredients...
I have had issues with certain high quality feeds in the last 2 or 3 years and I feel better adding dog chow to the feed...the dogs really like the blend...the dogs are producing less waste...time will tell...I been feeding 8 or more dogs daily for over 35 years and fed many more over the years...

I wasn’t knocking dog chow as I’ve been feeding it for over a year now. I just think it is misleading how they market the food with the “made with real chicken” or “real beef”. I’m finding out feeding 20+ head of various breeds of dogs that most do ok with just dog chow but some do need a boost with a higher quality feed or else I have to feed quite a bit more and get a lot more mess to clean up. There definitely isn’t one “best” or “good” dog food.

Shadinc,

I'd like to know the answer to your question as well.. Why is cooked corn in dog food bad for our hounds? Shoot as a young man I recall my grand mother made a pone of corn bread for our two hunting dogs every morning. That along with table scraps was "dog feed"...

I never recall them having any health issues and they both lived to a ripe old age.. FWIW..

I've switched over to Purina One Salmon and Tuna about a year ago and I'm extremely content with how the dogs hold up and perform.. No heat issues in the summer and they hold up well in the winter..

Purina

I want to ask a question and please understand it is a question and not to sound smart or anything of that nature. I keep reading where everyone that feeds purina has to mix it with another type of purina doesn't that defeat the purpose of saying the feed is a good feed if you have to constantly mix it with something else to get the desired affect? And again it is not being smart just an honest question. I don't feed purina but would love to if my dogs would do good on it for the money you can't go wrong but want the best value along with best feed for my dogs

Corn is a filler doesn't mean it's bad. Just when it is the first ingredient listed means the dog food is made mostly of corn. Dog chow is listed as the first and 3rd ingredient. Back in the 60's I made my own dog food 300 # at a time. It was ground corn, 50# of dried meat scraps, bag of milk replacer and can't remember what else. Fed it wet. I also feed extra fresh meat from butcher shop. I had coonhounds, greyhounds and a couple of bird dogs.
I would have no problem feeding dog chow to a yard dog and even a coon hound thar was hunted once or so a week, but for a dog being hunted hard you need something better. I think lots of people mix it with another dog food and use it as a filler which works.

What does the dog chow bag look like! There so many different ones... is it the green bag?

The one I’m buying is a green bag...there are several green bags but the one I am buying is the one that has a little chicken in it...

My dogs are looking better and the one that wouldn’t put on weight is looking good...

The weather is starting to warm up so the dogs normally will gain weight but I know it is the blend...
