Does anyone have experience using Diamond Dog Food?

I have never heard of it but you can ask your vet what to recommend or give you a list of foods to check out yourself.

That is a good question! Good nutrition is a key to a long lived healthy happy pet (so says my vet and I won't argue, she is a DVM, not me!) The more I read the more educated decisions I make. Anyone who doesn't care about the nutrition of their dog is either ignorant (they don't know any better) or appathetic (they do know but don't care...arghhhh the worst kind!) and probably would say "fancy dog food is a bunch of crap". Those people are the ones who are likely to have a dozen kids that they can't afford to feed anything but mac n' cheeze and microwaved hotdogs but the parrents can afford smokes and beer. LOL! I did feed Diamond for a short while, but it gave my dogs gas. Too many grains. Meat should always be the first ingredient in a good dog food in my opinion. I don't mean meat bi-products either, but actuall meat. I switched to Nutro then to Nutro Naturals and now we feed our dogs a raw food diet. We have a Great Dane, a Husky Mix (I love rescue dogs from the humane society, they are the best!) and a Shepard Mix (God bless the humane society again!). They all eat between 2 1/2 - 3% of their body weight in raw foods like pork necks and chicken quarters, ox tails, whole fish (no fins or heads), sweet potatoes (small portion like one can per dog), spinach, eggs, etc. The dogs love it. No more gas (we love that!) better bowel movements. Shiny coats. More energy. Good breath. Better overall health. Cheaper than high ash, high grain content prepared foods on a pound per pound basis. It is a little less convienient, but our dogs are worth it.

I have used it in the past...it used to be the very best that could be bought in my area, but there are lots better foods. If you choose the Diamond brand, choose Diamond Naturals...it's the best of their line. What other brands did the store sell? I would recommend Innova or California Naturals over anything else, just because I have had the best experience with this company's brands.

I'm making good profit with penny stock. Check here http://trade-pennystock.checkhere.info/

Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days. Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.

I have never used it. My dogs are raised on IAM'S dry food and do really good. Sometimes thay cut back on there eating so much in the winter and then pick back up during summer when they are outside more.

I don't have any experience with it and after the food being on the recall list, I don't even want to give it to our dogs.

Here is a site that will show you which dog foods are the best and the worst. I suggest that you get any one of the dog foods that are top rated.

Most of grocery store dog food formulas, like IAMS, Pedigree, Science Diet, Purina,and etc contain "meat and bone meal" which has been known to contain dead dogs and cats that were euthanized in animal shelters. Their bodies are picked up and bought by the truck load by "rendering plants" , that also pick up road kill, dead live stock, and etc. They are shredded, and boiled. They skim off the fat on the top of the "soup" and collected it and sell it to pet food companies as "animal fat", the rest of the animals' remains are crushed up, dried and sold to dog and cat food companies as meat and bone meal.

You can read more about it here.

Here is an article where the owner of a rendering plant talks about it. He says that cremating the dead shelter animals would cause pollution, and that rendering them is good.

Here is further information on what you shouldn't see in the ingredients list in your dog's food.

Top rated dog foods like Canidae contain good healthy ingredients.

The raw diet , which is also known as the B.A.R.F. diet is also another great option. Here is information on getting started on it.

Have used it and not had a problem w/it. We use Ol Roy now....and have no problems w/that either. I think it is a farce about all the fancy dog foods. Have a friend w/beautiful shiny Golden Ret.....very large has been raised on food from the dollar Store. I think it is like my son in law....was raised in S.Ca and very poor....12 kids....they ate mostly rice and beans....he is a fantastic specimen of a man....well built, good muscle...tall perfect posture...and white, white teeth...and never had a cavity. Now compare that w/ some of our diets in more affluent families...good posture can only be the result of good nutrition.....bone structure being good.

I know two people who feed it exclusively to their packs - one is hunting dogs and one is cattle dogs. They all work hard and look great. Those people swear by it.

Good luck!

check out this site www.dogfoodanalysis.com, I wouldn't feed my dog anything rated less than a 5
