I dont know what a high performance dog food is BUT i am feeding Pedigree from wal mart in the yellow bag and it has some skin and coat enhancing stuff and it is has my dogs looking better and cleaner then when i feed them. Sportsmix any other $20+ bag of food.  . I think a 50lb bag is $15 but it does get em a little too fat if i dont hunt one weekend.  |

I was feeding purina dog chow to my dogs at one time and noticed that one of them stayed a little heavy. I switched to black gold about two months ago and i can already tell a difference in her weight and activity level. Black gold seems to be pretty good stuff as far as i can tell.

I would like to try black gold but no feed stores sell it close to me.
Diamond was ok but if i was hunting 2 or 3 days a week it seemed to keep my dogs on the poor side a little even though they were in shape and healthy it just was not a good appearnce in the public eye.

I had to feed more of the diamond to keep the hounds looking OK. Wendlands keeps them looking nice, but I have to watch how much I feed a couple of the ones who get porky.
On a similar note - How much would you feed a dog on the injured (bed rest) list? He's gonna be out for a few months or so. I can't have him getting fat and putting too much stress on his injury, but I don't want him to be starving all the time.

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.

I would go with a less protien and fat feed and give what the bag says. I think they are talking about a average dog when they are testing the feed. ( I am talking about the amounts they say to feed the dog) I dont think they were testing dogs in the enviroment we put them in.

Clay, this dog will be seriously bedridden for a month at least. He's got a broken leg.

I know.. Just start him out at what it says and if he gains weight cut him back.

I feed Merrick. It's high quality = high performance and less food that I have to feed. I feed about 1 cup of food to a 45lb dog compared to other brands where I was feeding 2+ cups to the same dog. Better ingredients = less food. No offense to the fella on the other page but I don't see how any animal could survive on Alpo.  Ground Yellow Corn, Beef And Bone Meal, Soybean Meal, Beef Tallow Preserved With Bha, Animal Digest, Salt, Choline Chloride, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Ferrous Sulfate, Added Color (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 2), Manganese Sulfate, Niacin, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Carbonate, Brewers Dried Yeast, Copper Sulfate, Calcium Pantothenate, Natural Flavor, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (Source Of Vitamin K Activity), Folic Acid, Biotin, Sodium Selenite.  |

Black Gold all the way $23.45 a bag with as much as I hunt my dogs they look and feel better than when on any other feed Ive used.
sounds a little steep but it is alot cheaper and works better for me in the long run.

I have always liked Pride, although I have never heard of anyone out west using it. Verry populare here w/ hunting and field trial dogs. The blue bag 27/18 and green bag 26/18 are the most populare. The orange bag which has higher protien/fat content is also poppulare but a good bit more expensive.
