Dog food

Just started feeding my dogs, Taste of the Wild High Prairie Canine Formula 32/18, its $43 for a 30# bag, about two weeks ago, I normally feed Diamond Extreme Athelete but the feed store was out. So far the dogs are doing great on it. It is 100% grain free. The main ingredents are bison and venison. I saw it was on the recall list after I bought it but I guess the recall doesnt incude Idaho. Like I said the dogs love it and they are doing great on it.

Here is what it says about it.

It is made with nutritious ingredients such as roasted real meat, hearty sweet potatoes and wholesome fruits and vegetables.

Spendy, but the hounds are worth when they run as hard as I make them.

I'm feeding the Instinct Raw dog food for $5/lb. After Diamond's 2nd recall hiding behind multiple brands including Canidae and Taste of the Wild, I would never buy anything from them again.

Thats the REAL risk when buying kibble. When the manufacturing plant buys rice from China tainted with melamine.........dogs die. No way of knowing it was the food that poisoned your best hound until your dog is dead, or nearly so.

I have the kibble on hand for occasional feeding, otherwise, it's the BARF diet for my mutts too. Better for them, and you can put exactly the ingredients that you want into the food. More work? Sure is. But I manage to find the time in my day to feed the mutts the best that I can.

For those of you feeding black gold I was buying it at a feed store then found it at Bi-mart (West coast chain) for $27 for a #40 bag. A whole lot cheaper than it was at the feed store. I was paying around $20 for a #20 bags.
