That's why I quit feeding it seemed like I had to double their feed to keep weight on them.

That had not been my experience. I switched from Black Gold to Victor. Though I like both feeds pretty good, I find I am feeding less victor per dog.

I'm feeding victor in a purple bag with excellent results. Dogs look better and keep weight on better than with Diamond.

All dogs are different but my dogs lost alot of weight on victor.One dog I had to feed 7 cups a day so his ribs wouldn't show.I might have got a bad batch or something.My dogs looked very poor.

The low end Victor feed is no better then Sportmix or Diamond FOR THE MOST PART. The high end Victor stuff is priced about the same as Diamond EA.

Calories: and (*** kcal/cup) the higher these numbers are the less feed you can feed FOR THE MOST PART.

i was feeding 4 cups sportmix black bag dogs got a little heavy. feeding 6-7 cups red bag victor dogs are getting a little " ribby " makes no sense to pay 10$ more for 10 # less and have to double feed

My dogs did good on Victor, but had to feed more than I did with Black Gold. My dogs have done the best on Black Gold vs any of the other feed (Diamond, Purina Pro Plan, Victor, etc...)

All my dogs look great on Victor!! I feed Red bag to dogs that aren't being conditioned and teal bag to dogs I'm working. Coats are awesome, muscles are wonderful and plenty of energy!!
