hi standard enhance very good feeds diamond and blackgold where good for years but would rather make a profit now rather than insure our business for years to come

Whatever you can buy at a reasonable price locally that helps you maintain the condition you feel your dogs should have without using an excess amount of feed and having an excess amount of weight. Period.

There are lots of decent feeds out there. What might work for you, might not work for others. What might make one dog look great might make another look poor. Just find one you're happy with and stick with it until you have a reason to go somewhere else.

Dog food

I have heard that the Enhance feed is good. And people also say the new 4 health feed from Tractor supply is good. The 4 health is all natural . 40lb bg for $24.99. Go check it out..

Hi-Standard dog feed meets the demands of a huntin dog and is reasonably priced. If you have easy access to it in your area I suggest at least giving it a try. We are very pleased with it.

Oh yes, it's according to who you ask. Everyone seems to have their own best one. Feed less and have great stools, less clean-up...that's the story on each and every one it seems. Try a good one and see what YOU come up with!

The best I have fed is Purina ONE and Sam's Club Exceed Lamb and Rice. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking they are getting either of them in 50 pound bags or for less than $20 per bag. I don't save enough to pay the extra by feeding it to them but the dogs like it and look and perform well on them.

Over 40 or so years ..Ive feed and sold most well known name brand feeds being sold today..Now I feed what I think is the best Ive found.Its Ultra Advantage 24-20..Its not cheap but I feel. That I feed less and the dogs do better than the other feeds Ive used...So Its cheaper than some feeds in the long run because I feed less...In the summertime I feed about 1/2 the feed I do in the winter time..The dogs get fat if I dont..LOL....Other than Ultra..I feel Pride 27-20 or Black gold 27-20 are what Id feed If I couldnt get ultra..........

I would give Hi-Standard a try. Go to Hi-Standdarddogfood.com for ingredients and a distributor near you.

If you have the opportunity to try Hi-Standard give it a try, great feed for the money. I was reluctant to switch, but I witnessed the results in one of my hunting buddy's dogs. I made the switch and have been extremely happy ever since.

I would like to add that ''Animal digest" in dog foods is NOT the undigested contents of an animals stomach emptied into the mixture. If you want to know what those terms mean you can look it up online.

I would throw out black gold I know guys that have fed it and the dogs don't look good on it. It seems that Hi-Standard seems to the way to go. A lot of people changing over to it. I been feeding it for about 2 years now and I am extremely happy with it. Dogs look great, you feed less and stools are easy to clean up. The price is not bad either for a 50lbs bag. I have never fed Enhance but according to the board they are a lot higher in price. Just my thoughts for you.
