Well,
It's official, I just received a confirmation e-mail that Purina is discontinuing Hi-Pro. I had heard rumors but hoped they weren't true. For $21.00 it was a good buy.

my hounds will lick the bowl clean with dog chow but just will not eat hi pro. sam's must have stopped carrying dog chow but they seem to have a lot of the hi pro.

I just checked my email and received the same email.

I always had good luck with it, but the price was starting to get out of hand. Over the last year or so it has gone up from $18 to $26 a bag.

I find it hard to believe that they are quitting Hi Pro. I thought it was good feed.

Who knows what I'll feed now...

I had fed Hipro for the past couple years, so recently due to Purina running the price to 27 dollars a bag, I did a little research and I am now feeding Advance Complete. 24/20 for $14 a bag for 40#. This feed is milled by Southern States. So far, so good!!!

Just checked at Sam's and they said they are not going to carry Hi-pro "or" Dog Chow.
Has anyone heard Black Gold is marketing and cheaper 24/20 feed , if so what is it called?

After years with Purina - HiPro, ONE and Puppy Chow - they pulled the last straw. The price has gotten in the clouds, and quality sure seems to be questionable on some bags. Then they drop the main food a hunter can afford. I AM DONE. Yes I did send them an email return, but I am sure they will file it (13).

I have tried several other foods over the years. The ones I like are just not close to me. That being Pride and the other Joy. Nobody close to me carries it. So I am trying Diamand in the green bag. Dogs seem to like eating it better than anything else. We will see how they look in a month or two.

I heard that Sam's and wal-mart are not carrying any Purina products because of the price increases Purina put in place. Was told by one local Sam's store that if Purina lowered the prices they would start carrying Purina products again.
They had no Purina in the store at all.

Anyone else heard this?

I use to feed Purina Hi-Pro and then I noticed my dog was keeping any weight on her when I hunted her hard. And I couldn't afford to feed the Pro Plan Performance like I wanted. So I switched to Black Gold and I have been happy ever since.

I never understood by Purina had so many different feeds.

Dog Chow
Hi-Pro
Purina One
Pro Plan

I'm glad that got rid of it. Maybe they will get rid of the Purina One and Dog Chow. Then the can put the efforts into Pro Plan. Offer more pounds at an affordable price. JMO.

Good luck to those looking for a replacement feed.

Try Hi-Standard Dog Food, you will be happy when you make the switch. Been feeding it for several years now and I love it.
