Diamond Naturals -

KenK/84Bravo
Ran this thread before. (Some negative comments.) Oh Well..........................................................

Bought my dog a 33lb. Bag of Diamond Naturals, 26% protein, Chicken, Brown rice, a lot of Natural ingredients, including fruit. About $30. (A good deal for high end, high protein, natural ingredient food.)


My dog loves it. Will eat it dry, when the other higher end food needed mixing.


Made in America, (MO.) Since 1970.


Your view may (will) differ. Passing it along, for those who care. Just passing it along.


They make other vareties. Beef/Rice, Lamb/Rice, etc.

The Chicken/Rice, only one that uses Brown Rice, increasing it's Nutritional value. I've tasted it. It's good. :D

    May check into that. Fed Pedigree for years until I started hearing a lot of bad stuff. Switched them to Beneful, they really love it. If I open a new bag, my Golden tries to ram his head in the bag and get a bit. I guess it?s like opening a fresh bag of Chewing tobacco.
    My granddaughter feeds her bulldog, (English, not pit) Blue Buffalo, but my dogs turned their noses up at it.

    Blue Buffalo, about $45-55 for a 20lb. Bag. (Easily.) Diamond Naturals, better than Beneful, IMHO.

    Read the ingredients. (I've fed Beneful before.) This is much better, IMHO.

    From VetInfo:

    Daily Nutritional Requirements of a Puppy
    Growing puppies need more protein and fat than an adult dog. It's advised that puppies between 12 and 33 pounds receive 56 grams of protein per day and 21 grams of fat. Fiber should be included in the dog food ingredients. It's recommended that a ten-pound puppy eats 990 calories per day.

    Daily Nutritional Requirements of an Adult Dog
    Adult dogs need less protein and fat than a puppy. Guidelines are 25 grams of protein and 14 grams of fat for a 30 pound dog. For a 60 pound dog, you would double the guidelines and feed 50 grams of protein and 28 grams of fat. Fiber should also be listed as an ingredient.

    Caloric intake on an adult dog depends on his activity levels. Those receiving lots of exercise should get about 350 to 400 per ten pounds of body weight daily. Inactive dogs should get approximately 200 to 300 calories per ten pounds of body weight. Pregnant or nursing dogs will require additional calories.


    33% protein seems high to me for an omnivore, but it depends upon grams of protein per ounce of food and the dogs weight and activity level. High protein is not necessarily better if it is not needed or contraindicated as it would be in an elderly dog.
