Kirkland Dog Food

OldDrumDobes · 12-01-2008, 01:13 PM

Does anyone have experience with this dog food? Kirkland Dog Food Chicken or Lamb it's sold at Costco.. I am a picky person when it comes to dog food and I search and search when it comes to feeding. Each year for the holidays we donate dog food to the local rescue/shelter and I usually buy whatever they want or suggest. And I normally take the time to read the label and try to buy a good food. This food is alot cheaper then what I normally buy, so in theory I could buy alot more bags. The rescue group is crazy about this food, which is great, they are seeing wonderful results. I have never heard of it or feed it and wondered has anyone else used it? Just wondering if anyone has personal experience. Thanks!

I've never fed it, but know a few people who do. They're all really happy with it.

I've never fed it either but I do have a friend who swears by it for her older lab, she has tried lots of different foods and is a way above average pet owner.

With all of the Costco (Kirkland) brands, they are re-brands and most of the time good ones. If I were running a shelter or rescue, I'd probably look pretty hard at their food.

Supposedly it's a Diamond food with the Kirkland name, from what I have found online.

I've seen one dog who was on Kirkland and he had a very nice coat. The others say their dogs are thriving on it, I have no reason to not believe them about it.

robinb/Murreydobe do you know what formula they are feeding with good results?

Chicken and rice is about all I can tell you.

My friend feeds the chicken formula and her dog has a real nice coat. He had some coat issues in the past on other foods. She went to the kirkland because it worked not for the cost benefit.

I've been feeding the Chicken formula for at least six months now and the boys love it! They inhale it at meal times, have great poops and very nice coats. I ran into someone there that also feeds it to their dobes with the same results.
