you just answered the reason you haven't been hunting them hard. and by the way that high protein ol roy isn't the worst you can feed. i fed it till diamond got rid of there problem with the corn in there feed and by the way old roy had the same problem as did sunshine who males a lot of brands should we forget when purina had the same problem and when purina killed thousands of cattle a while back by putting an insecticide in there grain by accident they have all had problems over the years however diamond quickly pulled it some of the others forgot to mention it till they rectified the problem

Wayne you are right about all the recalls from most of the different brands and they all pretty much got it from an ingr that they added to there mix.
Worked 30 yrs for a big food Company and we would just change the packageing when switching brands.
Biggest thing with the dogs is no different than people, they need to be run lots and kept in shape and fed good. We will have our favorites and I guess it just depends on the person.

One good point brung up was the part about inspecting the company and heat gauges broke. There needs to be more inspections on these companies with regulations in place and a better way of listing ingredients in plain English not so it sounds good.

So its ok that my dogs are shedding their worms without the wormer? Thats fine with me. Also, someone said me worming them twice a month is bad. Is that true? You seem to definately know what you are talking about. You can pm me if u need to.

for starters the corn as the third ingredient and the corn gluten there just fillers and yes they provide nutritiion but it's not a good digestible nutrition

that all you can find, tell me what brand don't have corn, wheat, and any other thing that is not meat in it. I for one have been using sexton for almost 2 years now, and have had great successes with it. I have tried over the years, Purina, diamond, old roy, and pedigree. they all have corn in it some where. so, the only real dog food would be to feed them straight meat, if you can afford that. thanks for your reply to my question.

p.s. not trying to start a argument with this. just trying to make a point. every body uses what they like and can afford, I pay 17 dollars for a 50 pound bag. the only reason I found sexton, was when I went to buy my horse feed, the owner recommend me to try it, that is what he was using. plus the owners of the sexton brother, was hunting foxhounds. that is how they got started making there own food. I have not used black gold or a lot of other brand mention. I just don't see why I would pay 30 bucks or more for dog food, just my opinion. good luck with what ever you use, and good hunting.

There are several dog foods out there now that are getting away from corn. More people are getting better informed about corn & dog food companys are starting to respond with dog food without corn. I don't feed corn because I have one dog that his eyes will matt up bad on it.

wayne ,I dont know I have never thought myself it has given any of my dogs worms ,I was justy saying what has been told to me .but I have seen them changing up the way it is put together or the ingedients ,and seen good feed turn to s*** in a hurry and call them on it ,and they went back to the way they were doing it before ,but they were trying to cost labor costs or cut cost of ingerdients but wasnt cutting the cost of the feed ,I just wish they would give a good product and leave it alone ,they are making a profit ,but they think it needs to be more

As for reading the labels go,I dont know what all the ingredients on a pop can mean much less dogfood. I guess i still got a lot of learning to do for sure.

I am not saying sextons is the best, I would rather feed them more meat, and no corn, rice, wheat, or any other. but I cant afford to pay 38 a bag, I don't see how it is cheaper in the long run. It seem to me, just to add some meat in there food, oh yea I all ready do, and add some grease to. I do check around on dog food, but for the money for me, sexton is the better choice. and my vet say that my dogs are healthy, I de-wormed them once a month with the stuff from the vets. I don't trust the shot or de-wormer from any other store. I have 6 dogs, so I go through 6 bags a month. so help me figure out how it is cheaper. thanks

going through 6 bags a month
$17 a bag, for 50 pounds. for a year $1224
$25 a bag, for a year $1800
$30 a bag, for a year $2160

p.s. even if I had 1 dog, I wouldn't pay more either.

I am glad that I don't have to decide which feed I use based on price. I feel for those that do. My 3 dogs eat just fine and every once in awhile I feel like a baller and drop an extra buck and a half on a can of jack mac to throw in there to one of them.

i feed my dogs between 2 and 3 cups a day of the food i feed now that's my dogs there all differnt sizes and it vary's dog too dog but if i fed there bowls up they would be fat as mud andnot too mention the extra crap too scoop because more is not alwaus better too much feed is just as bad as not enuf feed there body's are only going too absorb so much nutrition before it lets the excess go which means more clean up
