Two of the best dog foods out are Pro Plan and Eukanuba. The have alot of research backing them. And because of this, they are kinda pricey. I use the Maximum Nutrition brand sold by Wal Mart. It is also a high quality dog food. Slightly lower in quality than the first two I mentioned. But, it is also lower in price. I use the 30/20 chicken, chicken meal formula. For your dogs sake, please stop feeding him Old Roy. Their quality control is some of the lowest in the business. I would rather feed my dog table scraps. If you switch to any of the three that I mentioned you will notice less stools, higher energy, and a shiner coat. This is a sign of good health. I hope that this information helps you.

yea i have only fed her a few bags of that ole roy, and i figure if i spend all my time and money, and all the hard work she puts out for me, i owe it to her to have a healty diet.

I have a 9 y/o walker that has NEVER been fed anything except ol roy gold bag and the only problem I have from her is too much stool .......but I can put her a deer and she will run it for 12-14 hours unless I catch her
Thanks

There are lots of good dog foods on the market, however, "Ol' Roy" ain't one of them, not even close. Excellent brands are Eukanuba, Pro-Plan and the high performance brand sold at Sam's is also very good. But, stay away from Ol' Roy. In this case, you really are getting what you're paying for....not much. The best dog foods have two things in common: Chicken based and highly digestable. Digestability, in simple terms, refers to the amount the dog eats, versus the amount of the poop stool. The smaller the stool, the more digestable (better quality) the food is.
Exceed get it Sam's lamb and rice 30/26 through duck season,chicken and rice 26/21 rest of the time about 18 buck's.Read the bag if the first 3 ingredeant's arn't meat stay away.Lot's of stool mean's low digetable feed a highly digestable feed less stool.My dog's go maby 2 time's a day a goob soild stool easy clean up.
