This may or may not be a "hijack" but when we were feeding our #1 GSP Pro Plan or Exceed, we fed him 4 cups a day & he still looked like a starving 3rd world dog. Switched him to EVO Turkey over five years ago and he is currently at 2.25 cups day. As soon as we switched he put on muscle, his coat improved as did his stamina.ezzy333 wrote:Monster Dad,MonsterDad wrote:That is what I would have guessed.

Those are measured out cups.
Please give us the names of a few of those people who are feeding 4-5 cups a day ? I have been involved in feed and feed tests for quite some time and have never found a 199% difference in what two feeds could produce. I can't even imagine what you could possibly put in a feed that would allow it to carry twice the calories.
#2 GSP (now 2 years old) has only been on EVO since we got him. Since he is about the same weight as GSP #1, he gets the same amount of food and is also in great shape.
Feel free to compare the ingredients between the aforementioned feeds and I think you'll find your answer...
