@Sable......what food would you suggest, that is higher in calories (for hard keepers)...but easy on the budget.
Example: Kirkland Premium Chicken $25.00 per 40lb. around 390/met cals per cup. *prefer something in the 440-460 range per cup.* ...if you would rather...you can also pm me.

Blue Seal Performance, not sure if distribution gets that far west. Good choice. Loyall, Professional or High Energy, great value in 50lb bags. The calories are very misleading, this food packs the weight. Very aggressive breeder program. People I know using it love it. The label reads bad but it is made by Nutrena. Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete, flip a coin on whether your dog gets the runs. SportMix Black Bag, don't laugh a good solid food, 20% fat. Same company as Earthborn. 50lb bags around $25. The Meat Meal is beef & pork. Except for Sportmix they are not as cheap as Kirklands but I really can't think of a food with 20% fat or more that is that cheap. Another idea is to use Annamaet Impact on the hard keeper. It is a powder with 48% protein and 30% fat. This is what hunters, guides, show people and mushers use during training. Since you are a breeder it wouldn't be bad to keep around for the bitches. If you wanna see a coat light up try it. Last edited by sable123; 09-11-2011 at 06:55 PM. |

That is a nice value pick Sable. I would be curious what you thinks of Hi-Tek Naturals? It is by a company in Dublin, GA. They also make some cheaper foods, but I found this at a local holistic pet store here in Nashville. They are comparing the grain free formulas as similar to TOTW but it is a better price....$38.99 for a 30lb back grain free and then $28.99 for a 30lb bag with grains.

It looks good but I wouldn't spend the extra money on a GF unless there was a proven medical reason. The company is AIB Certified and that is very impressive. |

I have been feeding the GF since it is the highest in calories and that is very important with a 60lb GSD and a 90lb boxer mix. Neither of whom are overweight even though I know 90lbs sounds big for a boxer he has something like mastiff, rottie or something along those lines in him. |
