4 health

Does anybody feed 4 health? Im currently feeding diamond would anybody suggest switching or stick with diamond? All info appreciated.

 

Ive been trying it for a couple weeks now.So far i like it, and i never had any luck with diamond,even though its made by diamond.I feel a this point it is much better than the diamond line of dog foods.

 

I always wondered myself, Diamond Naturals has been working so I never switched. Thought it looked very comparable though. What are the major differences u r seeing?

 

i think diamond makes that food

 

I feed performance formula, to a couple of the dogs. I like how they look on it.
I've also tried the puppy and liked it, but tractor supply here runs out of it alot, so i dont feed it.

 

there's better foods out there for the money....

 

could you give some examples of some better brands for the same price? just curious

 

x2 i'd like to hear some.

 

well what do you normally spend on diamond in your area?

 

The first major difference was that i didn't have big runny piles of shit every where .That was one of the main problems i experienced with my trial run of diamond.The dogs just looked like shit when they were on it,and it seemed that i had to feed more to maintain there weight.

I have only been feeding 4 health a couple weeks but i haven't experienced any of the problems i have with diamond yet.

Just so we are clear i didn't switch from diamond to 4 health.I was feeding a local made feed that was similar to 4 health's.But so far so good.

 

Thanks for the info. I will take a closer look. Hope it keeps working for you.

 

It's made by diamond... Not diamond
He asked people's opinons on the outcome of using 4health.
Not if you liked the price..

 

i havent had much look with diamond. rashes, runny shits and poor coats.

4health is good maint. food and priced right

 

i never liked any of the diamond stuff other than the chicken soup for puppies
also that company is hard to trust, quite a few dogs have died on that mess

 

I spend around 30 to 35 dollars a bag on diamond. But I still havent heard any better brands for that price.

 

4Health = Diamond Naturals in smaller bags and bigger prices.

 

No 4health is not the same food as diamond naturals.

 

You dont have to be the head mechanic at the jiffy lube to figure out its the same. Every formula might not be the same exact to the T but its close enough you wont see any differences. But whatever if it makes you feel better as a dog owner to spend extra money on the same damn thing than more power to you.

There are slight differences like kcal per cup and protien/fat, fiber, and a few other thing.

What is funny is we tried the Diamond on the same dog and he did shitty. Doing great on 4 Health.
