I'm Done With Purina!

[SouthernBeagles]

I am giving $13.25 for a 50 lb bag of Diamond Maintence, and $13.00/50lbs for the Diamond high Energy. I like it and the dogs do well on it.

I've fed Kasco for a couple years now with good results. I feed the mini chunks 26%protein 15% fat. They also have a high energy mix 30%/20% i think, but haven't found it necessary to switch. Shiny coats and bright eyes, nice firm stool.

Cannot find it in my area now I'm trying different feeds but the best I have ever used is Diamond High Energy it took less, had less stool and the dogs had a nice coat and stayed in shape with a lot of energy. I also like the PMI when I could get it, but cannot get it either when I feed 50 lbs of ol Roy I clean up 70 lbs of stool. Sunshine with lamb and rice is good but not as good as Diamond.

Bev, It has been almost 3 weeks since I switched my bitch from 24/20 to the 26/18. Noticed today that she is starting to put some weight back on. It is $3 a bag higher but looks like it is worth it.

I have used Purina and found it to be a poor choice compared to Diamond or Kasco foods. With the Diamond, I have had no trouble switching from lower protein to higher when needed. Tony

Tnbeagleman, PMI & Old Roy are both made locally here at Doanes Mills, along with about 30 other brands of feeds.

i have used purina pro plan performance for my lab and beagles for the last couple of years and i thought i was happy with it until i read y'alls posts. i am paying about 34 dollars for 40 pounds, and i tried a food called enhance, once because the numbers on the bag were similar, and the cost was 15 dollars for 40 pounds. purina pro performance is 30-20 and the enhance is 27-17. the dogs seemed to do better and their output was better on the purina pro performance. the double m where i buy my food advertises diamond, so i will certainly price it. my 4 month old puppy doesn't seem to do as well on the purina as the others, so maybe i will try it on her, the diamond that is. wow, if i hadn't read this i wouldn't have known i wasn't happy/

I switched to Purina One sveral years ago when I had a dog with skin problems. He cleared up real soon. Have feed it ever since. Dogs look good, shiney coats and less stool to clean up.

Mo beagles, I haven't checked this thread in a while. Glad to hear your female is doing better! Might take her a while to rebound then you can fiddle with it and figure out how much of the Diamond green bag it takes to maintain her weight.

Hey southerbeagles, where are you finding diamond that cheep. Here in n.c. its $15 for a 40lb. bag...I thought that was a little pricey..Can you buy it bulk streight from the company????

[mybeagles]

I use Diamond Premium Adult (26/18)and am very satisfied. I was feeding Tradition(26/18)and getting loose stool from one bag to the next. When I switched I had to cut back amount of food as dogs were putting on weight quick. I have small beagles and one is very picky, went through 4 different brands and she eats Diamond Premium Adult the best. Better than Diamonds 30/20 blend. Unless your feeding big dogs or 10+ beagles the difference in cost was about $3 a month.
