I used to like Enhance a lot till they changed their formula..and then they changed ownership

PPP is decent Might try looking into Loyall also

See which one your dog does the best one and go from there

Labs are aggressive and fast eaters and it is not good for them, they also have a tendency to pork up. I would look for a larger kibble size than the ones you mentioned. You might want to look for a good large breed food.

I really like Loyall. I have a couple dogs that inhale their feed. I started with good size rocks in their pans to slow them down. Then went to water, started the water when trialing in the spring and summer last year. Mainly to increase the water intake for the heat. It works pretty good and I don't think it hurts a darn thing to get a little more water in them all the time.

Regardless of formula change I can find a better food for $.54lb. I will feed enhance until something is better for the same price

I feed the enhance hunter's edge premium blend and could not be happier. Price is better than proplan and the dogs do incredibly well on it. Tip here though is don't feed the basic forumla. Get the premium blend. There is no way I would switch to PP over this.

Your lucky to buy any feed at that price. Enhance ain't even close to that cheap here. Loyall is as cheap or cheaper than the Premium Enhance dog foods.
