I have always used there lamb and rice. I tried the beef and rice because the store was out of the lamb, and I did find it hard to keep weight on. I wanted to try the chicken, but I can't find it anywhere close. Tractor Supply is not close:( Denise W http://sabianshepherds.tripod.com for show and performance *join my site ring* ----- Original Message ---- From: "Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx" <Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx> To: ROBINHAUSGSD@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:04:47 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: leaving Purina In a message dated 10/22/2008 2:22:37 P.M.

I think it will happen a lot as people find out about this new food. Been on the Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice for over 4 years now, and mix Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul (made by Diamond) in half and half with young and high energy dogs. Works good, stools good, coats wonderful and they like it. I tried the Chicken and Rice and the Beef and Rice and found the coats were not as good and it was a little harder to keep weight on. But whatever works................ I like that lamb meal is the first ingredient.....
