| Costco's "Kirkland" Brand Kibble????? Just curious if anyone is using or familiar with Costco's Kirkland brand Dog food. The ingredients look really good, and the rating was high on the Dogfoodanalysis site. If you have tried it, let me know what you think! |

| I have not tried it with my dogs, but I have read good things about Kirklands in other forums. It is listed as a good, reasonably priced alternative to the more expensive boutique brand kibble.

| I have read good things about it. It is Diamond brand repackaged for Costco.

| It is highly rated, and the ingredients look much better than the grocery store / discount store brands. But the bag is soooooo BIG it would take forever for my dogs to finish it off, and I don't know what size the kibble is.

| Thanks for your input. We may have to try it. We have a Boxer also, so the bag size would'nt be an issue! He eats like a horse! LOL |

| My Baby Chan was eating that before I brought her home. The lady I got her from said she liked the ingredients and the price! So I got a bag and yes it's huge! But now that she's with me she won't touch the stuff! I think it's because the city few days I had her she was so sad (wouldn't eat, threw up a few times) so I made her boiled chicken, rice and carrots. Yup so now she's a food snob! Great! Haha! Still searching for a kibble she likes! |

| I have a question, has anyone used 4-Health dog food. It's Tractor Supply's dog food and someone on another site said it too was made by Diamond for TSC. It has a 4 out of 5 star rating on dog food advisor-- 4Health Dog Food | Review and Rating I wanted to know if anyone uses the canned food, because I am starting to ween puppies and wanted to try that for them. My 3 dogs love the dry kibble (chicken and rice) and my mama dog is on puppy formula right now; thanks for the help!! |

| The main issue I find with it, is that it is under the "Schell and Kampeter" umbrella, made in the Diamond Plant facility. They have had significant issues in the past with FDA violations. I would definitely be careful. |

| Brandy's boyfriend, Ziggy, just switched to the Kirkland brand after having problems with other dog foods and having stomach upset. No problems with the Kirkland brand and he loves it and shares it with Brandy when she visits. |
