Sport Dog Elite

Post by Corgeze » 30 Apr 2023, 16:33

I have been feeding Sport Dog Elite for several years with great success. The company is having issues with getting the products in and not sure when a shipment will be coming in. I need to order more food so what is another brand I can switch to for now that is a good food. I hate to switch my girl to another food but I have to get something ordered. Becky

Hi Becky, yes it has had inventory issues for sure. Here is a link to dog food options. Maybe you can find something similar for ingredients.

Hi Becky,

Take a look at
Castor & Pollux Pristine dog food... specifically the sweet potato and beef.

It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Fuzzy became intolerant of any form of chicken, then any form of poultry. So I was using the sled dog formula. It was like the herding but more calories, bc he needs more to maintain weight. They discontinued it. I tried Inukshuk Professional Performance Marine 25. It does have barley, oatmeal and brown rice, but he is doing very well on it. They do have a Marine 16 with less fat and calories. There are no pro/pre biotics in the food but I give him those daily anyway

By the way Fuzzy is very picky about eating "dog food".

The Sport Dog and the Inukshuk are the only foods I don't have to grind and mix with raw. He will eat both out of a bowl.
Fuzzy is a Boerboel dob 8/29/19 diagnosed by TLI 1/5/22 Ideal weight 175lbs + Still growing so he's fed to lean body condition for growth. After regulation enzyme amt. went from 1 tsp a cup>1 1/2 tsp per meal> NOW 1/2 tsp per meal!

1st meal: 2 cups Inukshuk Marine 25 2 cup raw blend(tripe,organs,beef) 1/2 tsp Pantennex 2 B12,
2nd : 1 cup Inukshuk Marine 25 , 1cup raw 1/2 tsp Pantennex

He is completely off the slippery elm maintenance amt (1/8 tsp)although I keep on hand in case of sibo. 2 Prescript Assist Soil based probiotics every 4 days

hi Melanie,

It is SOOoooo frustrating when they discontinue or are out-of-stock with a food that works............. too bad, cuz that Castor & Pollux appears to be a good food IMHO ...

SOooo.... try HALO ELEVATE "red meat & sweet potato" don't worry about the small breed label....

their is NO poultry, corn, wheat , soy, lentils or peas... i use this food too:
