Texas Gold brand -Raw
This is a great dog food,dogs stay healthy and I've cut out all the vitamins and extras I was using for supplements.
Dogs have alot of energy and hardly any kennel cleanup.
I've fed every kibble on the market and nothing compares to Texas Gold-raw

Hunting dogs get red bag of Victor 1quart per day. House dogs get sportmix, table scraps, half naked chickens, lots of roadkilled dillers and possums and whatever they get into in the woods behind our new house ;D

Most kibbles are at best 60% digestable to a dog.This means 40% of what you feed is waist at the back door.

A 50# bag of kibbles the dog will chit 20 lbs of waist.

With raw your dog will use approx 90% leaving 10% waist.

Do the math and see how much your really spending on dog food and what your dog is really getting.
I ask alot out of mine and if they dont fill good they dont hunt.

Even if they only digest 50 percent of dog food I am only paying 72 cents a pound and still have little kennel clean up.  I would love to feed raw but cannot justify that much money on meat when dogs are doing well on dog food.

I have to look at it as feedind 34 dogs and not just a couple.
I've held out along time too.
After feeding raw and watching the dogs everyday as I do,they are just alot healthier to me.
I believe if you build a bad azz race car and go to the track and buy the cheapest gas your car is gonna run like chit.
If you always buy the absolute best you can get your hands on than its probably gonna perform for you. JMO

When I was younger we had a drag car and ran all over It always amazed me the people that would buy a $60,000 truck,$80,000 trailer
full of tools,pull up to the track and unload a $3500 car that would not make 1 clean pass.
Same thing as alot of doggers they buy these $1200 pups,garmin,rangers,atv's,dog boxes,trailers etc.... and feed their dog $10 bag of feed and say they cant afford anything else. rolleyes

I feed the Innova to Grace and Gabby, bout 1/4 cup a day. Been feeding the pups the same thing, but they will be gone soon.

I feed the Blue to Garin, bout 1 cup a day.

I haven't done the test, but I am 99% sure that Garin is gluten intolerant. I have tried every dog food possible, and he just looked like crap all the time and had NO energy. Switched him over to the Blue, which is grain free, and he has put on about 20 lbs and runs around like a 6 week old pup.
