Diamond sporting energy $12.00 #50 is the best feed for the money in our area I have found. Puppy Diamond is great for pups. 40# for $16.50
Black Gold here sells for $16.75 last I checked.
Purina is very high here $15.00 for a bag of 20# puppy one for large breed. One bag last 3 days for my pups right now.

used to feed pedigree but now have switched to diamond sporting dog for the coonhounds. seem to make their coats better and they have more energy. but i found that this as too much for my housedogs so put them back to pedigree.

Purina, nothing but, all I have fed for years... gives em go power, shiny coats, nothing better for raising pups. Cost isnt bad, but what you get for the cost is what matters.

I've feed Purina for 12 years and it still does a great job. What about Sunshine? Do they still make it?

Just feel it's the best bargain for my money. Like how my hounds look on it and like how I can feed less to have them look that way. I've found it higher up front, but cheaper in the long run.

I have never tried this food cause it isn't in the area but I know a couple guys in S. Ga that feed SIR JOHN and their dogs look great. Anyone else feed Sir John or ever heard of it.

of Sir John. The ingredients list looked good, but my dogs didn't like it for what-ever reason and I didn't stick with it.

I thought this horse was dead and buried. Guess we just had to dig the remains up and kick it a couple more times

OK, don't hate me ... but we get our dog food for free. A friend of one of my husband's co-workers works for a pet food distributor, and they apparently can't sell any damaged bags of food (chicken feed, dog food, cat food, we've even gotten hamster food from this guy). So, for whatever reason, this guy has no other friends and/or family to give the food to, so we get it a lot of it. He takes most of the bags to local animal shelters, but has left-overs. The bags may be slightly ripped, but it's food. It's top-dollar stuff, too: Iams, Eukanuba, Hill's Science Diet.

We have 3 coonhounds, who can't go through all the food we get ... so we end up pretty much feeding the entire neighborhood's pets. We also provide lots of dog food to the local shelters. He brings home 3 or 4 10lb-50lb bags a week. I told him he can never quit his job, 'cause the guy may find someone else to give this food to!!

I have fed a lot of differnt feed over the years and I like what I am feeding now the best.It is Pzazz 26%protien and 18% fat.I fed Diamond 26-18 preium adult (green bag) for a long time and it is pretty good feed but where I live I was paying 17.49 for 40 lbs.I think it is higher then that now.I tried the 20% fat high energy diamond and I did not like it at all.It is a lot cheaper then the green bag but not nearly as good.I think it was formulated for people who want cheap feed.I just looked on Diamonds webb site and it is not even listed.All I ask anyone to do is just what I did.Put one dog in your kennel on the Pzazz 26-18 and the rest on the Diamond High Energy for 1 month and then come back on here and tell us what you think.I think your dog on Pzazz will require one third less feed,look as good or better,have plenty of energy and much less kennel clean up.

I HAVE BEEN FEEDING IAMS LARGE BREED AND REGULAR IAMS CHUNKS FOR 3 1/2 YEARS AND BELONG TO THEIR SELECT BREEDERS CLUB. I PAY WITH MY $5.00 PER BAG DISCOUNT JUST UNDER $21.00 PER BAG . I FEED 1 CUP IN THE MORNING AND A HALF CUP IN THE PM YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT THE DIFFERENCE YOU SEE IN STAMINA AND APPEARANCE. I USUALLY HAVE JUST ONE STOOL EACH PER DAY AND THEY LOVE THE FEED. FEED IT DRY YEAR ROUND AND SUPPLY LOTS OF FRESH WATER. IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE IAMS COMPANY SUPPORTTING THE HUMANE SOCIETY ; WHEN THEY STARTED RECEIVING LETTERS FROM SPORTSMEN THEY IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND I FORWARDED A LETTER TO TODD TO VERIFY IT. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH AND HOW HARD YOU RUN YOUR DOGS TRY A BAG YOU WILL BE PLEASED.
