I have fed diamond for a couple years and liked it and dogs like it but when i went to get dog food this week they had shuffled the dog foods around at the store and the sportmix was right next to the diamond and was $9 cheaper than the diamond same size bags too both were 40lbs WOW. thats a big difference. I thought i had heard people talk about it being a good feed just wondering. And im not trying to compare it to everthing else out there just want to hear about sportmix. I know purina one and all that might be better but at $40 or mor a bag im not buying. I could feed my self steaks all the time to but i dont and not paying top dollar for dog food cant afford it.

I feed alot of sportmix to my dogs & have for quite awhile. I have a young dog that im hunting hard thats the lucky 1 & ive been feeding him pro plan performance. To be quite honest about it im still not 100% sure that the purina is what its cracked up to be considering the price. I feed him less purina( not by much) to keep him maintained than I did sportmix & have seen a very small decrease in stool as well. I havent seen much of a difference in the energy department either so im even thinking about putting him back on sportmix as well. So if you want my opinion sportmix makes a very good feed for the $. My dogs all look very good, have minimal stool & plenty of energy. Hope this helps!

Sportsmix is best feed for the money.. I've tried about every feed out there over the last few years and I like sportsmix 26/18 the best. Jmo

I fed it for quite a few years, dogs did pretty good on it. Just got to where it was getting harder and harder to get so I switched.

A cupl yrs ago I was looking for something better than reg purina and at a competitive price. At the advise of Dan Dogs on here I decided to try the blue bag of sportmix...25$/50# bag.......well 2 yrs later I believe Dave was correct...it isnt E.A., but its a very well liked feed by all of my dogs and they are in great shape w soft and shiney coats. Yes, there are better feeds...but not sure there is a better one for the money.

Jmo...pb
