Sally, I have fed Exceed for about 20 years and although I have tried other foods off and on that were touted to me I have always had the best results with Exceed. I have fed both the chicken and rice and the lamb and am presently using the lamb. Read the labels of it compared to much higher priced foods. I do feed raw now 2 days a week also just because the dogs love it and I have fun feeding them. I swear they smile! I love those clean teeth!

Barb I mix Sams exceed Chicken and Rice with pro plan- good results.- I am considering going straight to exceed when this last pallet of pro plan runs out.- I love pro plan and the dogs do well on it but to get a good price I have to buy a minimum of 24 bags and travel a distance to get it. Even with the breeder checks I have to spend around $600 at a time plus a tank of gas to get it.- I would much rather be able to buy a weeks worth at a time If you compare the first 5 ingredients and remember what Paul has told us you will be surprised at the comparison Sally www.embroiderybysally.org new designs ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
