If you look at the Omegas in the Athlete formula they are high for a reason. What is the source of the Omega-3's ? What is the EPA : DHA ratio ? . Doc, of all the people on here you should know by looking at the ingredient list where the Omegas are coming from. The EPA and DHA are the same as the P...

I don't know, I'm seeing chicken meal as the first ingredient then don't see anything else even remotely meat and stopped reading about half way down the label.

Imagine that a joint supplement company with research that says you should supplement? Hmmmm

How old are the dogs and do they have joint issues that need supplemented?

The simple answer is... Most puppy formulas are simply a performance type food with high protein and fat and slightly lower protein and fat for lg brd puppies. As long as you meet the criteria for growth by the AAFCO it can be called Puppy the same food can also be listed as Performance. There is wh...

Don't be surprised if a regulation is passed to control pet food closer the price doesn't increase double digits.

Champion Pet didn't get bought out last year, they have a partnered with Bedford Capital but the family is still running the company. With commodoties on a constant change you'll likely see many companies changing ingredients. Haven't heard anything negative about the feeding of lentils in petfood a...

Get yourself a nice Haggis and you'll have the best of both worlds. I sold my Tucker Trooper saddle and bought a Haggis and don't regret it one bit.

Actually Chicken By Products are better than Chicken Meal to the dog. If we stayed out of it, you would probably find the dogs would each much better than what we try to predict is better.

More palatable and much lower in ash.

It's a conspiracy by HSUS to control the pet population.

Had a Tucker Montreal Royal, sold it for a Haggis Trooper Saddle. Once I rode the Haggis for the money you won't go wrong. If you like the security of the horn you can have it added. I bought one for my wife and ended up liking it for myself also. Like the others have said though, once you ride one ...

Oakcreek, I'm guessing your are referring to the Hunters Edge Basics for that price?

Yea they are pretty effecient. They have product that is bad back to Dec 2010 and just now have a recall. I call that a pretty good response time.

The only difference in the New Enhance Professional Puppy is the formula is now No Corn/Wheat/Soy. the 31/21 ratio has been around for years and tested on a wide variety of dog sizes. The Ca/P ratio is 1.33 and the AAFCO recommended levels are 1.0 and a max of 2.0 If you are concerned with the Pro/F...

I have to ask, why would you want to import an english pointer from the US?

shets114

First thing make sure he is good on worming. No matter what you throw at him won't matter if he isn't clean. I usually use Safeguard powder, three days some will even take care of tapes. Whatever your feeding him on a regular diet just make sure there are enough calories and enough fat to keep him u...

I always love it when I walk into a store and they usually ask. Does your food contain by products? like beeks feet and feathers. Most of the time I can find a form of by product they are selling in the store, especially feet.

If your local feed store deals with American Agco they can get Enhance which would give you a great performance food yet lighter on the wallet than Pro Plan and like products.

Chris Akin is one of our Enhance Pro Staff and a great guy. Not only can he train some of the finest waterdog, field trial dogs and SRS retrievers in the Nation but he is also training dogs for our Military.

I still struggle with the recent change. I used to purchase 50 pounds bags of hunters edge for $24.50 and now a 40 pound bag is $27 (for Basic).

Well i chatted with someone this evening on using pork in a performance kibble.

Make sure your not feeding the horse any corn, wheat, soy or oats. I heard that will make a dog sick... Oh or any other grain. then the dog will eat it and be just fine.

shets114

Run, run, run.

Hunt, hunt, hunt
There is no secret recipe that is going to make an unconditioned run like one in condition without risk. if your dog is ready for the hunt test it should be in hunt condition. Failure to be ready is a failure to prepare correctly.
