Title: Dog food
Post by: txdogos on September 29, 2012, 06:02:35 pm
Iv been feeding Victor high energy in the red bad for a while now and they looked great until about 1 month ago. Now they dont want to eat and im tired of spicing it up or starving them til the next day. Have you guys found a food that the dogs go crazy for?? Or do you guys have a price list on all the Victor dog foods? i know they have some salmon flavored food but there is never a price on the internet and the feed stores are now closed.

Best dog food In my experience has been sportmix in the black bag. I pay 28$ for 50# bag.

I used to feed victor in the green bag for 25$ for 40# bag

I fed Diamond green bag for a while and now I feed Sport Mix 24/20 (black bag) and like it but want to try the Sport Mix 26/18 (blue bag).  Hear great things about it.

I want to try the blue bag as well but can't find anyone that carries it.

I've seen it once or twice but way over priced.  Like $35 for a 50 lb bag...

I just looked it up that's only a 40 lb bag.  I've been getting the 50 lb black bag of 24/20 for the same price.  I pick up 4-6 bags in Sour Lake, Tx every time I go home to Beaumont and that last me a couple of months because I only feed 6 dogs.  I haven't been able to find it at a decent price around Dallas.

Sportmix  blue bag year round, and black bag for the winter time. Works just great for me for years. Dogs in great shape , lots of energy, sound and healthy. I feed 17 dogs. Can get 40# bags at tsc and 50# at a local feed store.

curdog3006...that is a good system you have right there...less fat in the summer to keep the weight off and more in the winter to help keep the weight on when the colder weather gets here...I mix in a tablespoon of used cooking oil/bacon grease over the feed in the winter months...even when I use the black bag...

Raw chicken from Walmart. 5.90 a ten  pound bag. Pound or so to each dog. Less poop better quality food.

I tried sport mix, can't say anything negative about it but isn't the second ingredient listed corn?  A filler?

Cantex - your program is probably the best.

i feed the Black Bag year round and yes during the summer my dogs do look a lil fat so i may try your routine, Bit i have a question the Black Bag produces a good solid easy to clean stool, is this also with the Blue Bag?

i am feeding science diet its a little more expensive but you can cut down on how much you feed and cleaning pens has gotten a hell of a lot easier it also cuts back on there stool and my dogs look excellent and i feed once a day everyday at 7 00 unless were hunting, and i do mix warm water or beef broth sometimes for a treat with it but always water and only because if the dogs do knock there pan over i dont have to make another it stays clumped up at the price of any dog food theres no room for waste the way i see it. but this is just my opinion i have feed dog fuel diamond ol roy ranch hound just to name a few and im hooked on the science diet

Sorry i didnt answer for a while. Been dealing with hog hunting soap operas..... Anyhow i swear victor changed their formula on the red bag about six months ago.. My dogs were going down hill. I switched to the purple bag and they started doing better. About  two months ago a couple dogs started looking real bad on the purple bag. I think that victor switched formulas on purple now to. Anyhow i bought some sportsmix black bag and within about a weeks time the dogs started looking better. Victor HAD a great product at a great price two years ago but now it costs too much and is in my opinion a sub standard dog food. I will be feeding sports mix until victor changes things or something better comes along.

I'm feeding Sportmix Dark Green Bag. Dogs like it and look good. I'll switch to Black Bag once I run out again for the winter. My wife gives them a raw egg at least once a week. You can tell the next day that their coat will be slicker.
