MemberI have 2 dogs that I want to feed a quality dog food to, but like many, I’m on a tight budget. What dog food out there gives you the best quality ingredients for the best price point?
theBCnut
MemberIt’s not available in my area, so I haven’t tried it, but a lot of the regulars here are really happy with Victor’s. If you can find it locally, it’s a great price, but not if you have to have it shipped. Since I really like the benefits of food rotation, I like having multiple options. Earthborn and NutriSource often have really good prices too.
LabsRawesome
MemberHi Halina, Victor is a great food. If you can buy it local, it’s a budget friendly food. The grain free formulas, and 1 grain inclusive formula (Active Dog and Puppy) are rated 5 stars. I pay just under $40 for 30lbs of GF Ultra Pro 42. Some of the formulas are available in smaller bags too. Here’s a link to Victor’s site. http://www.victordogfood.com/ Check out the dealer locator for stores in your area. đ

MemberI agree with Victor if you can find it in your area, nutrisource is also reasonably priced and fromm classic.
Melissaandcrew
MemberIt depends on what you want in a food..ie grain free..corn free etc etc. I usually feed Arcana fir dry but rotate Victors Nutrisource, Hi trek on a rare occassion as well as Prozac when I am too lazy to go to the boutique pet store.
theBCnut
MemberMelissa, your autocorrect has behaved just about the worst I have seen, except for mine that keeps trying to sign me “Party” even though it’s one of the ones that is supposed to learn which words you commonly use…and I don’t do parties. I was even careful to do this post on a different machine…Stupid computers.
Naturella
MemberDepending on the area, NutriSource may or may not be budget-friendly. Diet rotation is both good for the dog AND good for the budget, because it allows you to take advantage of sales and what not. If shopping online is an option, Petflow.com , chewy.com , wag.com and petfooddirect.com are good websites that often have great sales. Brands like Victor, Dr. Tim’s, Earthborn Holistic, Wysong, and Tractor Supply’s 4Health are all good brands and reasonably-priced too. On those websites mentioned above, you can type “sample” or “trial” and see deals for sample-sized or even full-sized bags of food. I would check them out weekly.

MemberMelissa, I’ll have to try Prozac for my shy dog, maybe it’ll help her meet strangers on walks
Dori
MemberOr meet Party girl BC at her parties. Lol
Melissaandcrew
MemberROFLMAO. I hate the freaking autocorrect on my phone. I can’t even imagine where it came up with Prozac as I don’t think I have EVER typed that word at least not from the phone, lol.. For the record, No, I do not give the dogs Prozac when I am too lazy to go to the boutique pet store…That should have read “Pro Pac”…The worse part of my phone is that I can re read what I wrote, its fine, and then once I hit the enter or send, it changes it..argh!!!
As for bargain foods, remember to check that they do not have a frequent buyer club. Nutrisource has a buy 10 or 12, get one free for the general consumer : ) Every little bit helps!
Dori
MemberMelissa, we figured you meant Pro Pac. Just couldn’t help ourselves. You know our sense of humor sometimes gets the better of us and just couldn’t help messing with you. lol
Halina H
MemberThank you all for your helpful suggestions. Found a retailer for Victor’s, I will have to see what they charge. Will look into NutriSource as well. Thank you and my dogs thank you.

MemberMelissa
I really was tempted by Hi Trek. I wanted to make a joke about tribble food or something, but it just wasn’t coming. I also wondered why it couldn’t have autocorrected to High Tech, because I’ve always wondered what to feed my computer. And that Arcana will come in handy for the Halloween witches to feed their black kitties.
Melissaandcrew
MemberHigh Trek, and Arcana are not available I all areas. Some of you will have to settle for plain old Acana and Hi Tek. Lol
Bobby dog
MemberI was wondering where to buy bags of Prozac.
Dog_Obsessed
MemberLol! Auto correct seriously annoys me sometimes but I would be lost without it. While typing that one sentence, I used spell check on one word and autocorrect on another. I am a horrible speller.
Bobby dog
MemberMe too! Heaven forbid I have to actually write something.
theBCnut
MemberI can’t spell correctly, but I always know when something is wrong. Often autocorrect doesn’t even know what to suggest, but I have a pretty good dictionary app. Every once in a while I find I want to use a word that neither one knows what to do with. My latest was saity(sp). You know, that feeling of satisfation when you have eaten enough. I still don’t know how to spell it, but I know it isn’t saity, at least I think I do.
Dog_Obsessed
MemberI always have trouble with the word suddenly. For some reason spell check rarely knows what suggest the way I spell it, sunndly.
But, back on topic, the Nulo brand has a canned food that is really good priced considering its quality. Nulo Freestyle Grain-Free is 2.99 a can at the local store, and $31 dollars for 12 cans on chewy.
theBCnut
MemberI’ll have to check that out.
Melissaandcrew
MemberI bought a bunch of Nulo when the local store was discontinuing it. My dogs did not do well with it.

MemberAack! Sorry Dog Obsessed! I was scrolling through comments with my right thumb and I think I must’ve accidentally hit “report” on your comment.
I really wish there was an option to confirm that you want to report a comment, but you just barely touch that button and it’s done and cannot be undone.
Dog_Obsessed
Member@DogFoodie It’s fine! It happens! I agree, there should be a “confirm report” thing. Once Lily was on my lap while I was scrolling, and I realized her paw was on my trackpad because the page went crazy!
@Melissaandcrew What was the problem? Did it upset their stomach, or cause allergies?Dori
MemberBC. Satiate. Satiated. That’s how I’m feeling right now as I just had some peach pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I should know better, I’ll be up all night but insomniacs usually are. LOL
Bobby Dog. If you find where to buy the bag of Prozac count me in. LOL again.
theBCnut
MemberHi Dori, nope, not the word I wanted, but the one I would settle for! I just had to rearrange the way I worded a sentense. Satiation would have worked though…I needed the noun form.
InkedMarie
MemberOmg Melissa, I was roaring reading your post!
For the OP, Dr Tims is a good prices food & some come in larger bags.
Melissaandcrew
MemberDog obsessed-it gave them stomach and intestinal issues. And the burps were disgusting, lol.
Melissaandcrew
MemberInked Marie-lol. I have to say I think that was the worse spell check/autocheck has done to me. It supposed to learn words from what you use, but I went through last night and deleted a bunch of words that I KNOW it didn’t learn from me!
theBCnut
MemberYou can do that?!?!
Dog_Obsessed
Member@Mellissaandcrew Okay, thanks, I will keep that in mind. I might still try the food with Lily but I will stop if it upsets her stomach. She is sort of moderate in terms of sensitivity, She requires ~1 week for transition from food to food.
InkedMarie
MemberMelissa, if my iPad learns words from me, I’m in deep trouble lol!
Leisa D
MemberSatiety is the word you are looking for!
