I have fed the blue bag for 10 years and never had any problems

I started using the black and white bag about six months ago and have no complaints with it. Solid stool, dogs seem energetic and healthy looking. Might switch to the maintenance now as they seem to be putting on a little weight now that they arent being ran four or five time a week.

I have used it for over a year after switching from Pro Plan Performance, and Can't tell a difference except in my wallet. We feed the black bag 24-20 year round. $22/50lbs.

I have fed SportMix, black bag, for 3 years and would recommend it to everyone. In fact, I sell it to my friends now, buy it by the pallets.

Very good feed. Been feeding it for a couple years now. As the rest have said, very little waste in the stools, plenty of energy, nice coats.

I had decent results with it, but with Southern States redoing their dog food and me not having to drive 45 minutes for Sportmix, I switched but it's good food for the most part.

I have been feeding the blue bag 26/18, I pay $23/50 lb at TSC......I fed purina for a long time, but it has got outrageous with the price and the downsizing of the size of the bags......the average working man like myself just can't afford it anymore. I'm glad to see TSC start carrying it and hope they continue to. I like the results I have had with it.

I started feeding sportmix at the end of hunting season because my hounds looked pitiful :cry: and i have been very happy with it. i talked to the rep for middle tn and he spent an hour on the phone with me and ended up making up my mind 2 try it. needless 2 say i have not been running like i was but my dogs are looking great and have a lot better looking stool and its easier 2 clean up :lol: He did tell me that tsc was the most exspensive place to buy it but we worked out a deal on a pallet and 20 bags @ 50 pounds each from the local co-op cost me $370.00 so it was 18.50 per bag sportmix hi-energy 24 protein 20 fat. very pleased so far thanks cojax

Going to switch, I always fed the Maintence food all the time, but they poop a lot and I think my oldest is losing weight. I'm going to use the Diamond Naturals's Beef and Rice and maybe some of the Diamond Chicken as well.
