diamond Lamb and Rice

Ok I just bought a bag of diamond Lamb and Rice to try out. I have tried some samples but dont know how good of food it is. A big price difference between diamond maintence and diomand origional. If it is worth spending the extra money even though I know alot of people dont like diamond I am fond of it. What do you think of this lamb and rice. Is it worth the extra money

 

personally i dont like lamb and rice food. Lamb has more calories, than chicken, and every dog i have seen on it usually has loose very odorous stools :S

 

i switched my dog from the diamond food that was higher in fat to the lamb & rice puppy food

she used to expel like 2 to 3 times inbetween each feeding, being fed 3 times a day on the old food, to going once after each feeding, now only two feedings a day, 6 am & 5 pm

granted, she has a little more gas (nasty, foul gas), but she looks like she's using the food a little better, due to less shits (which are solid & healthy lookin, btw) and i can notice her putting on a little more weight in spots where she was real skinny. if you look at the pics in my gallery, youll see how small she is; she's 16 lbs at 4 mos old right now.

i like it, can't say anything about the adult food, though

 

I like the lamb & rice my dogs look great on it but the stool thing is kinda true.

 

Ok thanks I will see how this bag does I might consider it.

 

I feed Authority (Petsmart brand) Lamb & Rice and its pretty much the same formula and price as Diamond. My dog does great on it ...even though I can't understand why. Personally, I think they are both pretty crappy foods, but its the best you can get at about $25 for a 40lb bag.

Shes fed 1/2 cup twice a day and has nice, firm stools. She only empties after eating ...so twice a day, sometimes only once. Her coat looks and feels great, too. She is a bit gasy but I've noticed that it's usually rawhides causing that and not the food.

 

ok thanks appriciate it.

 

I feed Diamond Naturals Chicken & Rice Formula. $18.99 for 40# bag. No wheat, corn, or by-products. No complaints here.

 

I love the Diamond chicken and rice NATURAL. I switched from Canidae to this and will never go back. I currently own 2 Presa Canarios and they love it. There stool is smaller and tighter than the Canidae. Plus I could not get my dogs to hold or gain weight on the Canidae. I got an 9 month old male that is 85 lbs and solid as a rock. That food is the best. It is alot better than all the by product garbage in all the other formulas.

 

I also have great results with the lamb and rice.

 

I feed Smokey Daimond Premium Adult. 50pd bag for 21 dollars.... Good Luck

 

I feed my adult dog diamond premium. I tried switching over to the lamb and rice, but she did not eat that as well as she did the premium, so I ended up switching her back after she finally finished the lamb and rice bag. I also noticed her having bad gas when she was on the lamb and rice. I have been thinking about the naturals. I'm glad you mentioned you are having good results, WWII. I may end up trying a bag of it out and see how it does.

I fed Canidae for awhile, but I seriously haven't seen one ounce of difference between that and Diamond Naturals except $15 a bag. Plus, you get an extra 5 lbs in the Diamond.

 

i'm feeding diamond as well. my older dog is fine. and the lil ones 4 & 5 month olds like it..but i'm thinkin of switching to canidae until they're grown up. i'm not sure about it though. i just wanna make sure they get ALL the suppliments they need at this time. they're growin like crazy.

anybody think it would benefit to change to canidae until they're grown? i also throw in a lil raw meats occaionnally--heart/kidney--just for the extra protein.

 

I actually had a lot of people tell me that Canidae was missing nutrients and needed to be supplemented. This happened on more than one occasion.

 

My dogs on diamond pooped an awefull lot! And I just dont like that. Pretty crappy if you ask me!!LOL

I am feeding exceed chicken and rice and MAN! They are doing great!! I am actually feeding Black Gold mixed with the exceed, and cannot complain! their coats, energy, everything doing great!

 

we've been using the diamond naturals for the past 2 months and we LOVE it. My dogs look great on it

 

I heard about this dog food dog lover gold.

 

bumpin this up!! who else has had a problem with loose stools on diamond?
