Title: dog food ? cheap vs. quality Post by: buddylee on February 01, 2012, 05:28:19 pm How important do ya'll feel dog food quality is ? I just switched to a higher quality feed without corn. Dogs looking better and less poop. Recommended it to a friend but he likes Purina. I feel a quality feed would lead to the dogs hunting better with more strength and endurance. I equate cheap feed to eating at a McDonalds and quality feed to eating at a Longhorns. How much of a difference does it make on the dogs eating cheap feed vs. quality feed ? Anyone have personal experience with this ?
