I pay a bit more in price for the dog food I get my dogs. I choose Eaglepack Power Formula as I have active dogs and it is important to give them what they need. I also find they tend to eat less of it when they get all the nutritions they require. The cheaper stuff once in a while if needed and they eat twice as much and still start looking thinned out. I only rarely give them the cheaper stuffas I travel 100 mile one way to pick up theEaglepack.Here is a little info from them. The power formula is 30/20 and has worked excellent with my dogs...


Eagle Pack Pet Foods pioneered holistic nutrition in the 1980"™s, by engineering a way to make a meat meal based food, removing soy from the formulas and meat meals to replace corn as the first ingredient. Our Chicken Meal for example has no added hormones and is antibiotic free. Grains are herbicide free. We were the first to add nutritional supplements.

There have been studies linking the amount of protein and injury rates. I would look for a food with at least 30% protein.

my vet suggested LAMB/RICE for my lab do to they have allergies and to keep them skinny.
so, i used diamond as suggested by wellhavenlabs.

vet said just give my dog more food when hunting him, some on here said to give him some can food in his dry food during hunting season..

weight on lab is no good for joints.

I have a very active Springer (is that redundant?) and we have always fed him Artemis.
He is 5 yrs old.
It's a premium dogfood that came highly recommnded byour vet.

Diamond Sporting Dog formula.

It is affordable, has worked great for me, and there is always a coupon in pointing dog journal.

Phil, how long have you had your dog(s) on Power? I found for mine, there was just too much filler in it and it went right through him. I've had him on a Canadian version of Innova Evo called Orijen (42/16) for the past 4 months or so. It works well, really well actually, except it opened his coat up a bit.

I'm switching now to a new feed called Nutri Source Super Performance... http://www.nutrisourcedogfood.com/vi...?id=13&catid=9

The numbers (32/21) and ingredients look real good. We'll see how he does on it. Plus they have a maintenance feed that I'll put my dog on once the season is over. There seem to be a lot of good feeds on the market. The trick is to find the one that gives you what you want. Hopefully this will be it.

Cheers,
