What brand of food do you feed?

Labs is correct; the problem was traced to some corn produced under drought conditions in MO I believe that had aflatoxin in it. The 40 lb. bag of Diamond Performance (purple & black bag) I bought recently at the local feed store was $22.49.

Diamond did have a recall. It was a few years. They had a bad batch of corn that had some spoiling and decided to recall all bags from thier one plant. If I remember corectly, it was not mandated by the FDA, no dogs got sick and died, it only affected a small # of bags. I do remember that all six bags I had were not on the recall. It was a much smaller recall than the current one some are dealing with.

Gspman, Yes that is the case I am refering to. As a Health and Beauty manufacturing company is their really any doubt that they are still in bed with such groups? I know that the only reason Iams got caught was a sponsership banner was at a bird dog event. In my mind I have a hard time believing their parent company P&G has no ties to HSUS or a fund like them. Iams has said that they have seperated from them, but I don't recall P&G saying the same thing. It might be just the name on the check changed.

Diamond Pro is $24

Diamond puppy is $23

At my local COOP the price is about $5 a bag cheeper than I found at the chain petstore last time I checked.

Diamond Premium, which is what I and most hunters I know feed during most of the year until hunting season. It is $17.49 for a 50lb bag.

Slotlimit, where do you buy that. I am from the Willmar area and am thinking of trying some.

[germanshorthairs]

slotlimit, what do you use during the hunting season if you do not use premium, why do you switch?

[slotlimit]

Sorry I should have made myself a little more clear. During Hunting season I use I believe it is Diamond Premium but it's in a Black and purple bag and is a High Pro Higher Fat content then the regular Diamond Premium in the Green bag which I use the rest of the year. I also have a GSP. I believe in Willmar you can buy it at ASI Pet and Runnings. I'm not saying their aren't other places to buy it at but of the 2 places I'm sure you can figure out which place is cheaper (I don't feel like getting banned for promoting a certain business). They may even have it at the feed store I'm not sure. You can also go to Diamonds HSOforum and they have a list of retailers.

At Marties feed store in Elk River, if you buy Diamond maintenance (yellow bag) in bulk (you van pre buy bags and get a discount. you do not have to take them home with you, you can start an account with them) you get your 50lbs for about $12.00 or $13.00 a bag. No credit, just pre buy like three bag's and they keep you on file. If you give them a commitment, they give you a discount. I think this goes for all of Marties feed store (Elk River, St Francis, Monticello and others). Same goes with all of there Diamond products. I save like over $100.00 a year going there.

!!!!!Above statement does not say I am promo said store, just passing on a money saving tip to fellow F.M.ers!!!!

Science Diet has treated me well here so far. The Dog likes it. His coat is beautiful,he is very energized and keeps fit.

This is a very good question and am interested in the responses.

I started with WalMart Maximum Nutrition a couple years ago, then switched to Eagle Pack becasue WalMart stopped carrying 40 pound bags. I just switched to Diamond and pay about $20 for a 50 pound bag at Petco. They also have the deal to give you a free bag after 10. Eagle pack was good, but it was getting expensive at $30 for a 50 pound bag.
