4Health Dog food

[webfoot1973]

Does anyone have or have heard anything about 4Health dog food.

[mcbosco]

that stuff is wicked expensive..if you are looking for a fresh food there are better alternatives, also there is no reason to cook the meats...

im not saying they are bad formulas but over $3lb is very steep. Of the complete fresh diets, Bravo Balance is a good deal.

And you are down south, Blue Ridge Beef products are very good and fairly priced.

May be thinking about something else. 4Health is a dry dog food that is only available at Tractor Supply.

We switched our new pup to it after it was determined the food we were feeding caused the crystals in her urine. We have been using it for about a month now and wow what a difference. She looks wonderfull, coat is excellent, energy level is great, stool is formed and very little (as if she is using most of what she eats). She has had no GI trouble, no gas, and SHE loves it. She use to pick at the other food.

We are considering switching all our dogs to this as there are numerous formulas for our different level of dogs. It seems to be a much better food for the price and our pup is doing much better on it.

The puppy formula was $32 for a 36lb bag. 1bag has lasted a little over a month.

I picked a large bag up for my parents French Bulldog when it was on sale at TS. They report he is doing well on it. I may try my puppy on it. For the cost it seems like a decent kibble.

Probably not worth calling a lawyer as the mis-information they have listed is just marketing hype. And they show a vet as their nutritionist and as we all know vets get little if any nutrition education. Thats like asking a nutritionist to answer your medical needs.

I guess I am just to old fashioned but calling a lawyer is the last thing I would even think of.

Thanks for the offer but no thanks. That's all I need is some animal waste in the freezer. I have all of that available right here and I take it out where the yotes will clean it up but think the crows get most of it anymore. Our dogs are exposed to all of the green stuff they can use on a pretty regular basis and we have a lot of small pasture fed animals around but their tripe is the same no matter if they are pasture fed or not. And if I remember all of my schooling right there is little difference in the organs of the cattle, goats or sheep. Stomach is stomach and the only ones they will ever have is the one they are born with regardless of what they eat. I know it is good feed for the dogs but I can supply the same nutrients in a much more convenient form thanks to the years of research that has been done. And I can do it on an everyday basis rather than a little just a day or two out of the week. My dogs are really looking good and seem to be in the peak of health. Hope your are too.

Have a good one as you play with your tripe. I have to go scoop up some feed for the dogs, take care of the pigeons, plant my tomato and pepper seeds clean the runs and the loft, and get supper ready but I will be thinking of you. and Spinner.

[fordman]

was told by the people at TSC that Diamond makes that food for them, last night it was on sale in Mi.

That is what we were told by a Tractor Supply Rep as well. So far it has been a very good food. We just got back from a routine vet visit and our vet is amazed at the change in our pup just from the one month of using it.

We are pleased and the pup is doing great. It is affordable and seems to be a quality product. That is all that matters.
