Dog Food ?

[skuna]

I feed Diamond Adult and Diamond Proformance. I have the same trouble with the ProPlan. I have to drive 30miles the get the Diamond Pro. and could get the Pro Plan at the same place but they don't sell a lot of it and the sacks are old looking and I figure some of them have molded food inside so I just don't fool with it. The next closest place I have found is an hour for Pro Plan and that's just too far. I would need to buy 10 or so sacks and that's dang near $400 bucks a trip. Diamond is a great food and works for me but the waste volume is a little more than say Euk., Iams, Or Pro Plan but still nowhere near regular dog chow or some other grocery store brands. I did feed Purina One and liked it ok for just a pet or older dog but they don't have proformance blend. I think as long as you go with a quality food that works for your dog you can't go wrong. Just stay away from "kibbles and chunks" and "ole roy",crap like that.

Are dogs allergic to grain or other products in the dog food?

Definitely.........had a friend of mine get a test done on his lab.....turns out to be allergic to 7 of the most widely used ingredients in dog food.

My Rowdy is allergic is something......my guess would be corn or wheat.....or a combination of the two. If I feed him food loaded with corn and wheat......loses all the hair under his belly.......put him on some sensitive skin and stomach dog food with no fillers....everything's fine.

I feed my dog sraps but he like fat back the best. A lot of grease will make him shine real good.
