Prairie Dog Food?

[dmartin]

Has anyone tired Nature's Vallley "Prairie Dog Food"? Cheetah was on Canidae first....then Wellness....but both brands are hard to get in my neck of the woods. I have had them shipped in. We then tried Nutro but Cheetah spit up "bile" for almost a week. Our local pet store just recommended a new brand they are carrying called "Prairie". What do you think? thanks.

I highly recommend this food. It is the best food my dog has been on by far.
How much does it cost in your neck of the woods?

I pay about $28-$32 for a 30 lb bag (in South Central WI) plus repeat buyer benefits.

I even had to put the cats on it to keep them out of the dog's bowls at mealtime.

I mix it with raw now, but I'm really impressed with it as a kibble.

This food is incredible! My boy is a pretty finicky eater, and I couldn't get weight on him, expecially when we go to shows. He just quits eating. I feed the kibble and their premade raw while at home, but on the road, he pretty much just eats the raw. I love the fact that the raw is a complete food on its own, or as a supplement to the kibble.

I pay $36 for a 30lb bag of kibble and $10 for a 3 lb bag of the raw medallions.

I've been interested in this food for a while.

My guy is doing great on Innova, so I'm going to stick with it for a bit. However, when it comes time to rotate, I'm definately going to give this a shot.

After doing some major research on dog food I switched my babies from Nuto Natural to Prairie Lamb and Rice. I am very happy with the quality and the dogs like it (but they have never turned up their nose to any food). But I must say it's quite pricey. I think I pay $40.00 for a 30 lb. bag. My two seem to go through a bag so quick. So I'm actually considering a switch to Canidae's.
But to answer your question I love the food and will keep it in my rotation.

Boo has been eating Prairie for 6 mouths now .... I switched from Wellness to Prairie only because I thought he need a change ....He loves this kibble...I started with chicken & rice ,,& I have just now switched to Lamb & Rice ....I will keep ratating between the chicken & lamb ...I tried the beef ...he doesn't like it ....! I also mix his homecooking w/his kibble ....He is doing great gobbles up 3-1/2 to 4 cups a day..!!! I highly recommend this food...
I pay 20 dollars for 15 lb bag...every 2 weeks...I could buy the larger bag ...but I love going to the pet warehouse looking at all the new stuff ...this gives me an excuse ....

I've found it at a feed store here. 30lbs was 39.99 and 15lbs was 24.99. Not too bad, about what I pay for Innova.
