I have switched over to Black Gold a few weeks back and I can honestly already see a difference in the dogs coats and stools. I am not seeing the yellow and white bits of corn in the stools like I was with the Pride. I think Pride is okay, but not on the level with Black Gold(black bag). Worth the extra cost as my hounds are seeming to have great energy as well and I have been having some nice running to test that out. Black Gold is really worth trying out.

the problem with blackgold is the price keeps going up. Great feed.

how much did you pay for a 50lb bag. I'm just curious

I pay $32.01 for a #50 bag here in Mich and to tell ya the truth I would pay $42 a bag if needed

ohhh my..........thats alot. Over this way its about $28bucks a bag. I thought that was alot.

You get what ya pay for, My dogs always look great

I can get Black Gold for $28 but have to drive an hour one way to get it. Just started feeding Pride 26/18, on the second bag. Seems OK but as was stated I can see bits of undigested corn in their stool. I like the fact that Black Gold uses corn meal instead of ground corn. Seems like it would be more digestable.

28.50 per bag. I think it is a good food up to 35.00 a bag. I would pay up to that and probably more. I just fed and cleaned up and has been a great switch!! Quality stuff!!

i guess i am lucky i can get the black bag for 24 4miles from my house have fed it for 4 years great results 6 months ago they had a bad batch but they got it straightened out again

i'm like usher i get it for less than 25.00 a bag and it has only went up once in 3 yrs were i buy it from.i don't want it to go up much more but i would still buy it if it did.it is great feed.....

I went to the farm store last night. Picked up 4 bags of BlackGold. Black Bag is going for $26.49 and Yellow Bag is going for $24.49 store located just south of st.louis Mo

Joey I don't think you will regret that decision. My dogs have had the easiest transition to this food of any I have every used and I have used some higher priced ones as well. I hope it holds up for me as well in the long run.

Locaion affects the varying prices. The farther you are from the factories the more cost you have in trucking. With the rising fuel cost it has killed pricing.

i've been using blackgold for a good while now. i just forgot the price....lol i thought it was more. I try to get a bunch so I don't have to go to the store to often. i stack it up in the basement.

I buy a skid at a time and do the same thing, stack it in the basement.
I'm feeding Blackgold and Sportsmans pride both 26/18.
The Blackgold just went up to $24.00 and Sportsmans pride went up to $21.50.
The ingredients of the 2 are comparable, except 1 list meat ingredients and the other chicken
ingredients.

I pay $24 a bag here in GA for the Blue bag.Keep thinking of switching but it's not worth saving $2 a bag for something that's not as good.
