Hi everyone. I just wanted to thank everyone who replied about which food they use. Of the 14 feedbacks I received........7 for Lamb and 2 for chicken and 3 for using both depending on the age of the dog. One used beef based and another venison based. Some seemed to like the coats better on the chicken based grains. I do use the chicken based myself, and the coat is great, but keeping the weight off is very hard. I'm finding myself cutting back less and less food with the chicken grain. I also use fresh chicken livers, gizzards, and hearts, and the next week, I use beef liver as a meat source to add to the grain.
