Maxximum Nutrition Super Premium Dog Food Adult Recipe Reviews

I have Doberman Pinschers, and was feeding my dogs the expensive higher priced brands and it was costing me a fortune.  So, I decided I would experiment, for the sake of my wallet, with a lower priced dog food that a family member swore by.  My dogs did eat it but without much gusto and they dropped condition rapidly! 

In a panic, I researched what makes a quality pet food, which I should have done before changing.  I started reading labels on all the pet food bags.  Most brands were quickly dismissed due to the number one ingredient being a non-meat.  I found Maxximum Nutrition and compared...

I have been using Maxximum Adult Recipe Dog Food for approximately one year.  I have 3 dogs - a senior Beagle, an adult Basset Hound, and a young Terrier Mix - 2 of them are rescues - and 1 of them needed almost one year of rehabilitation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.  I used to feed Nutro Ultra until I discovered Maxximum at Wal-Mart.  I have found all of the comments associated with this food to be very interesting. 

Some people are condemning this product because it is distributed exclusively by Wal-Mart.  So what does it matter who distributes it?  All we want is a decent, nutritious...

I am a dog trainer assistant and have learned much about animal health from my current employer.  I set out to improve my own dogs diets.  I have a large breed obedience trail dog and two small shih tzus.  I was hoping to find a food that would serve them all.

After reading HUNDREDS (or so it seemed) ingredient labels on dog food bags at every store from Pet Smart to local distributors...I stumbled across this Maxximum food at WalMart one day.  It has no fillers, no wheat, absolutely NO corn (which is fantastic) and contains the same enhancers that higher priced dog foods offer (beets, tomatoes,...

Like the other two reviewers, I also agree that this is the best kibble food (for the price) I've found for my two boxers.  BUT just becuase it says no by-products, etc. doesn't mean this should be the only thing you feed your dog.  It's like saying you'll live off of chicken and rice for the rest of your life.  They need variety.  Mine also get raw chicken leg quarters and a vegeteble mix...what you would call a veggie smoothie.

As far as kibble goes, I think the price tag of this Maxximum Nutrition is very reasonable compared to "premium" labels from the pet stores.

Having multiple dogs, I've always done my homework to find a high quality dog food at a good price. I read the dog food review websites, and despite being too picky and even a bit snooty, they're helpful in forming a decision.  So, when the Maxximum Nutrition (Lamb) recipe garnered a respectable 3 stars on one site, and 8/10 on another, I was pleased.

 The Chicken recipe is not reviewed, but because it contains corn, gluten and a few other less desirables, it would in all likelihood rate 1 or 2 stars.  Still not bad, but I decided to switch to the Lamb formula.  It's moderately priced - about...
