I'm also looking for new food - have been feeding ProPlan Performance and haven't seen the results I used to get. It occurred to me that I used to feed Performance and throw in a bag of regular beef, lamb, or sensitive skin (salmon) every so often. I stopped doing that when they stopped making those formulas and replaced them with "shredded" which is awful food. Maybe my problem is not varying my protein source?
You can add Lamb Puppy formula, Turkey Selects, Duck/Rice, Chicken Grain free, They still have the salmon SSS...Have you really taken a look at what PP offers now? I am still pretty happy with them. I also buy small bags of some of the more expensive brands like pure vita or Fromm's and mix that in to my PP base. Or buy some good quality meat and cook it up with some veggies as a topper.
We used to feed Exceed but after the 2nd time being unable to get the food due to a "pricing dispute" with the supplier and Sams/Walmart we changed and vowed never to plan on getting dog food at Sams again. We traded in our card and replaced it with a Costco one, a good decision on our part.
We do not have a Costco for hours. I have fed Exceed for years. Thought they were going out but just changed bag. So for a time I went to the Diamond Natural chicken. First two bags okay but then dogs were loosing weight, coats turned awful. And still working on getting over that. But realize Exceed was right there to pick up, went back to it. So I say EXCEED for sure. I had also tryed PP a year or so back and just did not get anything special. Costly for the results.
We have fed Diamond Naturals Chicken & Rice, as well as Extreme Athlete for many years. Happy to answer or discuss questions with anyone. Please email.
