Re: Team Momentum
I would like to make some points: 1. Bob Wehle won many of the Northeast sled dog races with his trial dogs. Because of the pointers speed in light snow years they changed the rules to exclude them. 2. Eukanuba (Iams) sponsored Doug Swingly, who was so impressed with the All-Age nutrition and condi...

Re: Team Momentum
It has allot to do with profit margins. Build it cheap with low cost ingredients and sell it high.

Re: Team Momentum
Really ????? Then why is there such a variation in the maket price of dog foods ????
It pretty much boils down to about anything else, to build something better it is going to cost more. Be it cars, trucks, houses, or dog food.

That is part of it but not all of it. The ingredients have a larger impact on the cost. Protein costs the most in the food and if you compare Diamond Hi Energy with 24% to Momentum with 35% naturally Momentum will cost much more to make. Then take vitamins, Diamond uses Chinese vitamins and Dr. Tim...
