| Jag used to be on Eagle Pack before switching him to Canidae. I found that, for Jag anyway, he was very gassy on Eagle Pack, but it is great food. |

luca was on the eagle pack holistic chicken and rice formula when we first got him, but he was pooping 6 times a day (and they were large! ) and he had very bad gas.
i slowly switched over to fromms four star nutritionals, the duck and sweet potato formula and he is now doing much better.
he poops maybe 3 times a day and they are firmer. he also doesn't have gas! i wasn't very happy with the eagle pack, but every dog is different |

My guy has been on Eagle pack for about 3 months. He was a little skinny and I wanted to get more condition on him so I increased his food of Eagle pack and mince. I ended up feeding him 6/7 cups of it a day plus half a kilo of mince and he didn't not put on weight!!! I was getting very frustrated as here in Australia it costs $120 a bag and I was going through them fast. I rang his breeder who reccommended it and she said that she and her best friend who is also a breeder have just decided to take all their weimaraner's off it because they all looked skinny and had dull coats. I was really shocked because I thought it was just my wei that wouldn't gain weight on it.
I've had Baker on Orijen now for about a week and he has put on condition in just a week! And looks awesome! I'm switching the puppy onto it too but the large breed puppy is hard to get as everyone wants it. |

Wilson is on Eagle Pack Holistic Select the fish version.
We were using Timberwolf organic Ocean variety, but due to distribution problems the store stopped carrying it
The Holistic Select is supposed to be a good food and he has done well on it. I have thought about switching over to Orijen or to Wellness Cor, but so far really have no complaints with the Holistic Select to justify the higher price of the other foods...... |

| Eagle and Orijen are the same price here in Oz! My friends here from the states can't believe how much we pay for good dog food over here! The cheapest big bag of premium dog food here is $93!!! |

Eagle Pack - $120 for a 15kg bag (I was feeding 6/7 cups a day, almost force feeding as he hated eating it and seeing no weight gain!)
Orijen - $120 for a 13.5kg bag!! (Now feeding 4/5 cups of it a day and seeing great results)
That's in Australian dollars which are almost equal with American dollars at the moment so we are paying a LOT of money for our dog food. The best Australian brand is $93 for either 15kg or 20kg bags (can't remember) but it's not grain free unfortunately. |

I get it from Pookinuk. And I don't think those prices are good! That are bad bad bad
I would feed advance if I couldn't get orijen. I'm still thinking about mixing half of his orijen with advance due to all the high proteins warnings. |

| I've had Willa on Eagle Pack for about 9 months, I think it's great. She was gassy at first, but not so much anymore. The Anchovy formula is her favorite, and it makes her coat nice and shiny and she sheds less when she is eating it. I also like Eagle because you can switch up the flavors and it has the same basic formula except for the meat type. If you buy 11 you get the 12th bag free and they have coupons on their web site. |

I can't believe how expensive that is... must be like $6/day? Wouldn't it be cheaper just to feed raw? |

|

| It doesn't cost me that much. It's about $45 for a 33lb bag and it lasts about a month. It is a better deal to buy a bigger bag than buying multiple small ones, it's about $30 for a 15lb bag. |
