Dog Food Price Increase

[Tankt]

I go through 100 lbs a week so I don't feed premium

I feed The Pride in either the black or orange bag. Best feed I e found for the price. Only have 2 little Feist dogs so a 50lb bag last me several months on top of all the scraps and treats they get. Last bag I bought was $23 but I'm sure it's gone up as well

Black bag Pride is up to $28 here now. Just went up $2 more

$5 off on a bag of bison burgers at RK, $41.99.

I believe that used to be coonhunters pride. Was in a camo paper bag years ago. I used to feed it when I had coonhounds. Good stuff.

I feed ol Roy and my dog stays in pretty good shape. Plus some scraps here and there. I think it’s less than $25/50lbs. I feed him once a day.

My adult dogs get fed once daily. Pups get fed twice daily until they reach around 9 months old.

Sometimes they’ll get rice, eggs or bread table scraps.

One thing I watch out for on dog food is the amount of waste, the dog’s coat and their heat tolerance.

Unfortunately the pet food industry is just like or human food. Same increases in transportation cost, ingredients, etc….. There are no short cuts. Pet food is considered “food” and regulated by the FDA under the same standards as human food. Whatever inflation you see at the grocery is going to be similar in pet food.

the FDA aint worth trusting. The companys that sell stuff use their own experts, report to the FDA to certify stuff. didnt mean to butt in, my sister have a lot of cats, while back, and something was killing them. (cats on a dog thread), anyway the cat food sold in the stores, turned out to be bad, not all pet food, but enough. i cant remember if the pet food was affecting dogs, cause none of my siblings dogs died. was just a couple a years or so ago.

Definitely feeling the cost of dog food now. Was originally on a strict Purina Pro Plan Performance diet but now I'm mixing in one bag of super cheap Purina Dog Chow for every 2 bags of Pro Plan, plus getting a little more intentional on giving them table scraps.

Things are changing....

Same here. I’m mixing PPP and Diamond Puppy for my 2 pups. After that I’m considering sticking to Diamond Puppy for a few more months. Then ending the puppy feed.

In my area Diamond, Purina and Victor are readily available at TSC and RK. I’ve heard good things about Victor, but haven’t used it. I may get a chance shortly though.

When I was a kid we slopped the dogs “and” the hogs. Folks might be heading back thataway. Personally I’m looking for some good chocolate lab recipes as I can’t justify feeding a critter I can’t eat with prices like they are.

Same here. Mom, still does. Never saw a dog die from the multitude of chicken bones they ate while I was a kid either.

I got a half a 45 pound bag of Sportmix orange bag I'd give to someone if they wanted to drive to Eubank to pick it up.

 

[Luther's Feist]

Well I just got a 50lb bag of the pride black bag and it was $32 plus tax. Went up $9 bucks since last one I bought

 

[KY_Swamp_Beagler]

I’m trying Diamond Hi-Energy maroon and green bag. It was $32 at Rural King for 50 lbs.

Dad has fed it for years.

I bought a bag of ProKal I think it’s called, at Walmart and my dog seems to really like it.
