I went to buy dog food and the priced had jumped by about $8 for a #50 bag. I have been feeding Diamond. Anybody else seeing this jump? Is it all brands? What is best value?

Thanks for reading,

Doug

I just picked up Victor dog food for $23.95 for 40 lbs bags & think this is a good price for very quality dog food.....Diamond like Purina is pricing there selves out of business in my book....

Actually pal I stand corrected...Pro Plan isn't even a 50 lb bag so it's even more expensive than I thought....

At the Sams club I shop at the price on Purina Dog Chow was up almost 3 dollars a bag since the last time I bought a half ton. I did notice that Pet Smart had specials on Purina thru this week and maybe longer? But the Purina Pro Shreaded Lamb / Chicken was 14 bucks off normal price of $ 44 the Pro Preformance was 2 dollars off normal $44 bag and Prurina One was like 5 bucks off its normal price as well as canned Pro feed was at $1 can as opposed to it's normal $1.50.

I expect it will keep going up when you are out shopping think about fido and look for deals they are out there at large stores.

I used to feed Purina & still have several of those $7 off checks but after a lil research I found out it's over priced for the quality of food it really is....I know they promote alot in our coonhunting magazines & we have hunts in their name but I just like my dogs to much to feed em it....again this is just my opinion...thx Rick

Mr. Grivetti if you aren't going to use those 7 dollar checks, I will give you 2 dollars for them and we will call it right and I will pay for shipping. Not being a smart azz, but I have feed alot of different feeds over the yrs, but always come back to Purina, mainly because of those $7 checks and it is trusted feed for me.

I use reg Dog Chow on dogs that get hunted mildly, and for the ones I hunt reg I use a combo of 1 part Pro Preformance, One/Pro Shreaded, and Chow, and I buy it where ever I can get the best deal on it, price per pound that is.

On alot of the dogs that haven't made social statis or worth here at the kennel, expecially this time of yr I have I mix Chow and Pride high end or the black bag of 24/20. I have had great results on both feeds and all my dogs look really nice on it. Yes I may feed more of one than the other but I regulate my dogs on many factors and what I feed them.

IMPO you can't go wrong with Pride or Purina products regardless of which it maybe or mixed with. I know the reviews say one thing but what I am feeding and the way I am feeding it works really good for my dogs, my budget, the time of yr it is and the way I hunt.

Alot of the feed that are out there are not easy accessable to me or I am not willing to try something new so I shop wisely and I never neglect any of my dogs on feed or hunt time.

If anyone sees a good deal on the Purina products at national pet chains please post. I will stock up while I can still aford to do so.
