DIAMOND NATURALSExtreme Athlete High Protein Real Meat Recipe Dry Dog Food 40 Pound (Pack of 1)

Update: Our dog, after 4 months on this food, gained healthy amount of weight - more masculine than ever. He now weighs full 85 lbs (good weight for a male American Doberman). He still does put his gas traps everywhere in the house but it is less frequent, his #2 is smooth and solid as a chocolate banana. Great food. Great price.Made my dog's stool loose on Day 1 and 2, and he has become the Lethal Weapon of the empire since the day this food landed in his stomach. He has always been Caustic and the most notorious Caustic ever existed - You know what I mean if you play Apex Legends.My husband and I truly fear for our lives when he sleeps next to our bed with the windows closed. But fortunately, we have our 4 feline gods come and go during the night, and they keep the door open and let the toxic gas escape from our sleeping chamber.Our doberman is turning 3 this winter (January 2020). Very young, very active. Fast eater of the wet food. Hater of the dry food. Breaker of cat thrones. Slightly disoriented Furrmissile. He has a slow eating bowl to avoid toxic gas leakage. He has food sensitivity and we cannot speak of his childhood without Metronidazole (for canine IBS. Not for vagina.) and canned pumpkin purée. He eats what is given but remains on the skinny side. He also has some skin issues around his ears. We tried a few different brands, tried what we were told "healthy diets (grain-free, high protein etc)“ but it was always hard because of his sensitive stomach and disturbingly finicky eating habit he acquired from watching and living with our feline gods.With this food, we want him to put on weight and see the skin issues improve. We shall wait and see in the next month or 2 if the results will show. But so far, he has actually shown interest in this dry food without topper, which is great. We are always very careful when switching food, and yes, as I mentioned earlier, this product made him absolutely explosive. He hates bathing unlike his predecessor. So when he gets out of the tub, once towel dried, he literally jumps up in the air and oofs "I'm a free man!" That was the third shower in this food switch transition. He was holding his loose bomb in his arse when he was in the shower. He then went and jumped into the living room as a free man to celebrate his freedom with a fellow free man, my spouse who sat there in his chair, unaware of what was to come. How I wished the Mother of Dragons would fly into our deck, and let her Drogon burn the place down to ashes for me. I had no explanations ready for our landlord. But then I knew I was destined to review the Clorox Clean + Bleach. And to provide honest reviews, one must always use the product in real life.Anyhow, after the several explosions in and outside of the house, his system adjusted well to the food by the time he was 100% on it. And again, he has sensitive stomach. This happens every time we switch food. But may not happen to your good fluffy child/ren.But the gas. Oh boy. We thought we were used to his toxic, life-draining farts. The kind, you go "Oh, baby! Stahp! HAHAHA!" when you hear one ripped. But this food brought the toxicity of his gas to the whole new level. It became very quiet but very wet. It is almost like him licking himself in the darkness while you try to fall sleep. When it's dark, It's loud af, and can't unhear it once you hear it because you know there cannot be just one. And it comes with the rotten, noxious, deadly, pungent smell which is wet. You can feel it's WET. During the day, with all the noises that around you, it’s a total surprise attack. Before you know you are ambushed, you are dead. Git rekt. I do not know what is better. Getting ganked in daylight or fear for your life in the darkness, imagining your slow death from suffocation awake or in sleep. Opening the bedroom windows at 2am is something we never did before this food. We live in the Pacific Northwest. It rains a lot here. And opening the windows mean, wet floors, damp house with musty smell. But then, you do what you gotta do.But why I still give this food 5 stars. Because he eats it willingly. His upset stomach was a temporary thing and his #2 has been solid since the explosive transition. He eats this food twice daily without being told to finish it. Previously, he’d eat his food a little, then started wandering the house looking for a cat arse to eat, but this food has his attention till he finishes it. Price is reasonable for what it says it contains or does not contain. And most importantly, even the Feline God approves of this food which I caught in attached photograph. This proves that this product is blessed by the higher authority and we will continue to feed it to our pup. We will learn to live in the environment filled with the toxic gas, and update the reviews in a month or 2 months time when we know if it helps him gain weight or not.

I have been using Diamond dog food since my pup was 9 weeks old. I recently graduated her to adult food. Her fur is SO shiny! No more dry skin. She loves it. I am very satisfied!

Dog loves it and has gained huge muscle mass with this food highly recommend for bullies

Started good but eventually my dogs stopped wanting to eat it. So maybe it’s bland to them. Switched to another and they are happily eating.Still the dogs responded well and held their weight before getting bored of the food… worth a try and if your dog likes it, it’ll be worth the price.

I've been using different types of Diamond Naturals for my young big dog for about a year. She likes, and dies best on, this type. Among other aspects, her poops are reasonably solid, not messy, without being too hard. She's a very active mix of Bernese, Golden, Malamute, and Great Pyrenees.

******2022 Year update!!!Here are some of the same dogs fromMy review a decade agoAnd we still use Diamond Naturals. Shepherd going on 13 and still acts and runs likes she’s 4. OFA hood good as she was a k9 breeder but I will say the price has gotten insane and it’s prob due to the fuel dilemma but here I am 10 years later and this is still amazing food!!!!Even the 4 pound yorkie can’t wait to get supper as you can tell in the pic.I have been using this food for the last year and it has just worked miracles on my two German Shepherds. Lots of energy (sometimes to much, lol), great looking coats and my dogs love it. My female will eat anything you put in front of her but my male is extremely picky. They both eat this food like its desert. I have recommended this food to several other friends and Shepherd breeders in the area and they have all had positive experiences. A friend has a 4 year old Shepherd who is allergic to items such as corn and grains, he has been using this food for less than 2 months and his dog has completely stopped itching, has not had a hot spot and has less odor. His coat has also started to really turn around from the dry blotchy coat he had before. This food is basically Taste of the Wild with Diamond's packaging and name put on the bag but cost about $15.00 less and you get 10 extra pounds. I would tell anyone if they are looking for a grain free, highend food, then as far as cost, quality and product is concerned, this is the best food on the market.

As I stated in other reviews I have a black lab and an 11 year old boxer granddog. The boxer is a good eater and not overly picky, but if he doesnt like the food the poor guy just wont eat it. My lab, well he is picky. Probably because I have spoiled him since he was a little guy. What can I say, I love the guy and hes a good boy. I buy high protien food for these guys because I want to improve their lives.I bought this food for the guys and they eat it well, actually the boxer wolfs it down. Whereas my lab picks at it all day but finishes his bowl. The boxer is pretty spunky for his age and still chases the tennis ball and likes to wrestle. The lab loves frizzby and will chase one all day if I continue throwing it for him. So i think this food helps. Ill keep buying it as long as the boys eat it. Thanks

I can get it in a short time before running out and the cost is within y range. Very happy with the service I get from Amazon.
