I get the Black Gold black bag for $16/50lbs.

I recently switched from Diamond Sporting Dog Formula due to excessive weight loss.

Black Gold professional blend (23-16) in the silver sack. I had a brief fling with diamond, but my dogs made me switch back.

I feed Purina Hi-Pro. Same price as stated above, plus the circles program. Turns out to be a good deal and the dogs seem to be doing good on it.

Diamond Adult Premium (Green Bag) 26/18 @ $17.50 per 50# bag.

I was feeding Diamond Hi-Energy 24/20 @ $15.00 per 50# until it seemed to go "sour" and my dogs started looking bad on it. Dont know what they changed in the formula of the maroon bag, but it wasnt for the good!

I feed Black Gold in the Black Bag and mix the Blue Bag in with it . I mix it with 2 blacks to 1 blue during winter and 3 blacks to 1 blue during the summer.

I have never fed the blue bag all at once, but I have friends feeding nothing but the blue and they love it.

I think I am paying $16.00 for the black and $19 for the blue all in 50 lbs bags.

I was feeding the Green and Maroon Bag of Diamond but the price got way to high here in Mississippi.

I also used to feed Comet in the Yellow bag (40 lbs at $13.00) and hounds did really well. I mite be switching back to the Comet if Black Gold gets higher in price.

Thanks for all the answers so far,

Sam's High pro I've feed it for years and my dogs perform and look as good or better than the diamond and Purina dogs.

I feed Professional Kennel Choice (PKC) 26/18. It's a lot like Diamond used to be. Pay anywhere from13$ to 15$/50lbs. Really nice feed. I can set you up with a dealer if anyone around southeast IN is interested.
