The "best" dog food used to be 21/18 and was corn based. Dogs seemed to do fine on it. Now dogs are fed 30/20 and not corn based. Are the dogs of today better off and doing better than they used to be. Does it really matter If a dog seems to "like" one food better than another? Growing up I hated liver but my mother made me eat it. I like steak better than ground beef but I sure do eat more hamburgers than t-bones.

One thing I definitely can remember with the Ole Roy was the stools never were consistent!!!! But other wise the dogs performance seemed fine, but the stools stand out because I was the one cleaning the kennels and I’m still cleaning kennels now. Thank God my kids are finally getting old enough to help out with the kennels and I have a 4 year Daughter that might be the best Houndsmen I have every seen for her age. Boy can she really handle dogs and knows what to do with them, Jury is still out on my 2 boys!!!LOL

Too many bad chemicals and additives for dogs.Some have very high sodium levels too.

I think all this grain free high sodium levels is causing a lot of Thyroid issues too.
'V' red bag is/was off the chart high in sodium.Fed it for years,screwed up every female I had on it.

So, what I am gathering is grain free is not necessarily the way to go? Is that the food causing thyroid problems?

We shall see ho well the hounds like the black bag of Value Pak for this winter. My 3 domestic dogs LOVE it, they gobbled handfuls down, I wanted to see if they would like it. They do. A chihuahua who is 15, a doxie who is 7 and a pit who is 8-9 years old. Need to find a Value Pak for older dogs.

As far as this stool business, I ain't always thrilled with my own stool, but I still eat at Taco Bell occasionally.

I feed pro plan 26/16 (all life stages) to my young dog. And I just switched my old female to pro plan Bright Mind formula. And so far its made a huge difference in her. She seems to have more energy and seems more alert. I've been feeding pro plan for 6 or 7 years. I've tried other foods but didn't get the same type of results with those. I fed Diamond, Black Gold, Taste of the Wild, Kenny O's (which I've thought about switching to again), pedigree, ol'roy, kibbles n bits, and dog chow. When I couldn't afford the more expensive feed I didn't feed it. I never seemed to have any issue with any of it. If I had a dog that needed a better looking coat shine I'd give an egg. But I didn't hunt as hard on the cheaper feeds either.

If they don't like the Value Pak, I will go to Victor or Purina Pro Plan Sport. What's strange is my domestic dogs (15 yr old Chihuahua, 7 yr old Doxie and a 9 yr old Pittie) just gobbled down the black bag of Value Pak samples I gave them. Of course, I was just testing to see if any of my dogs would like it, and they do. But they can't eat that because they are older dogs. Probably gonna find a Value Pak for senior dogs. Thanks for the help everyone.
