I feed Black Gold 26/18.

If you go to this web-site and do a little research you can find the best food for your budget.

I compared 19 different formulas over the course of a few weeks, went into it open minded and found out what the best food is for the money. I am not loyal to any dog food company, I just wanted the best food.
If you are going to feed black gold use the Blue & Gold bag it ranked the best out of their products. There are better foods out there though.

How much does everyone give for a 50lb bag of Black Gold Dog food?

I have fed many different dog foods over the years. The Black Gold is the best so far. My dogs do best on the black bag, 26/18. They have good coats that shine. I run them at least 3 to 4 times a week. They keep good energy and it seems to be highly digestable. I have fed the blue bag, but it seems to be a little too hot in milder weather.

I feed the black bag here is there web site.

I did some research myself and found that there are alot better feeds out there and even though they might cost more to buy it will even out in the long run. I have fed and sold Blackgold and was very loyal to them. I read an article about Canidae and decided to test it. I took my dog in the worst shape and switched her over. I fed her Blackgold one day and then on she was fed Canidae. She healed up from running sores quicker than the dogs I left on Blackgold. Her coat looks like she has been oiled. She is fed half of what the dogs being fed Blackgold are. She still has a ton of energy. She produces alot less stool than the other dogs. Her weight has not changed. When I said above my dog in the worst condition, what I meant was she was tore up the worst from the briars and so forth. I payed $29.00 for a 33 lb bag of Canidae. I am feeding 6 ounces of it per day. I payed $17.50 for a 50 lb bag of Blackgold. I am feeding the other dogs and have been since running season started 12 ounces per day. The Canidae is all natural. No chemicals, additives, flavoring, coloring, grains or fillers. As soon as I run out of Blackgold all my dogs are being switched over. I figured there are 67 servings in a bag of Blackgold and 88 in Canidae.

I give $16.50 a bag for the black bag and feed between 8 and 16 oz per dog depending on how much the dog gets run. Best I have feed so far but i have only tried a couple of diffrent feeds.

$17.00 for 50#.
I have tried the yellow bag and couldn't tell any difference in the dogs after one bag.

I feed the blue bag in the winter months to keep fat on the dogs and because they get run alot.24/20. I feed the silver during the summer 23/16 and like both.I have been using Black Gold for six years and will never change. $17 Blue bag-$15 Silver.

I just bought my first bag of Black Gold today. I have been wanting to try it but no one was close who sold it. Finally someone close to me is a dealer know. I paided $16.99 for a 50lb yellow bag.

I've been using the black bag this year. $16.50 per 50 lbs. No complaints

I pay $19.00 for a bag of 26/18 [in the black bag]. I'm sold on BlackGold.
