Ok guys what kinds of dog food does everyone feed?

It is ver hard to know who it making the feed you use.  I worked for Ralston Purina and Purina Mills for many years in sales.  There are all kind of contracts to manufacture feed for other companies.  The key is to buy the best you can afford from one of the leaders.  If their name is on  the bag then the ingredients are going to be controlled more closely than the other brands they may be making for someone else.  A company can make many different rations at the same plant (and do).  High end to low end.  Bottom line you always get what you pay for.

I HAVE FED PURINA PRO PLAN HI PERFORMANCE FOR SEVERAL YEARS(10). HAVE NO HEALTH PROBLEMS AND THE COATS ARE SLICK.  MOST OF THE PRO TRAINERS THAT I HAVE USED USE IT ALSO. 

I get out a couple times a winter after cougar. It was a passion when I was a bit younger/dumber..

I'm either gonna have to change my handle, or ask you to stop calling me GOD, though..haaa

I keep expecting a bolt of lightning...

Ya once or twice a year. You don't get good cat dogs from once or twice a year. Good pictures almost gets my wanting hounds again.

.. I never said they were "good"..   I agree whole heartedly.  In comparison to the dogs when we ran a lot, these are 'shooters'   I just keep 'em around to eat that hi' dolla' dog food and pester the neighborhood with their mouths..

"Almost" again.. hee hee  I do miss running spring bear in tennis shoes 'n T-shirt too.

We’ve been feeding Diamond Premium for over 20 years. We use to combine our buying with a couple other people feeding several dogs. We got it shipped directly to us from a warehouse in Chicago for about $5 a bag less than we could buy it locally. Unfortunately the folks we shared the buying with scaled back on the number of dogs they had and we couldn’t meet the minimum delivery to keep getting that price.

My wife seems to know what all the ingredients are good for, right down to the enzymes and ratios. I’ve suggested other dog foods over the years – looked hard at Black Gold, but she compared the labels each time and had a good reason for staying with Diamond. I learned a long time ago not to argue with someone smarter than me.

G.O.D. – nice cats. It must be a lot of fun hunting them. I hope you’re good at dodging the lightning bolts when you are out there.
