Can you tell me whatever you know about it? I went to their website, and actually found a place that has free shipping since no places around here carry it and just want to get all the information I can get on it. Thanks! :D

It is awesome food but is really hard to find. Since Bear has been on it he has had perfect poop, no skin allergies and actually eats his food everday. I love, love, love it!

What kind do you feed him? They have so many different kinds, and I have no idea which is better or even if there is some that is better than others. Thank you!

I tried a couple bags of Eagle Pack Holistic Chicken for Koby awhile back.  He's got a very sensitive system so he didn't do well on it, of course every dog is different.   If you can get free shipping it may be worth a try!  Good luck!!  :)

I'm in the process of switching Teddy to the Eagle Pack Natural Formula - so far, so good!  I'll know more in a few days - LOL! 

I picked the Natural Formula mostly because of cost.  It was $49 CDN as opposed to the other types of Eagle Pack which were $57 CDN per bag.  Even if its the cheap Eagle Pack - it still has to be tonnes better than Iams!

We have been feeding Eagle Pack Holistic chicken for over a year and all three do great on it.  Ms. Tyra is my picky eater and I have found if I add just a little hot water she likes it even better.

I just put my weimaraner Riley on it this week.... Since rescuing the big guy last December he hasn't had a firm poop.... that is, until this week! I cheered when I saw his solid poop. We had tried many foods along the way, including Innova, Wellness, Canidae.... but Eagle Pack is the winner. After a long conversation with a canine nutritionist at the local pet store we decided to give the Eagle Pack Holistic Duck and Oatmeal a try. As a bonus, Riley LOVES the taste and gobbles it up!

Bear is on the Holistic Lamb & Oatmeal blend (the purple bag) and he loves it.

Thanks to everyone. :) Can you guys tell me approximately how long a bag lasts you and what size bag you normally buy? I'm just trying to get a general idea. Thanks

We get the largest one (I forget the poundage) but it lasts about a month with him eating 3 cups for breakfast and 3 cups for dinner.

Hey Jabear, how much Eagle Pack would you suggest for a growing puppy? 

(I can't imagine feeding Teddy that little - he eats 12cups a day of the Iams and he's still lean.)
: Re: Eagle Pack
: jabear October 11, 2006, 04:18:30 AM
As a pup Bear ate more. I think about a year old he was at 8-9 cups per day. He did breakfast, lunch and dinner. He also gets treats though and nibbles on our dinner left overs.  ;)

Ok, so I'd probably be going through one of the biggest bags every 2 weeks since we have 2 dogs. Is the iams a good dog food for dogs too? Cause I know I can get that locally whereas the eagle pack I'd have to have delivered cause you can't get it anywhere around here.

Adi did well on Eagle Pack puppy before I surmised that he had a corn allergy that had him breaking out and itching. In turn, he did great on Solid Gold Wolf King for a few weeks. Now it's back to the runs. I am going to go pick up a smaller bag of Eagle Pack holistic to try him on it, because I loved the Eagle Pack... Wish us luck....


AND GOOD LUCK to your cutie. Iams doesn't have a good rep. at all. I have a hugeeee bag of Eagle Pack puppy left, for large & giant breeds. I can ship it to you for the cost of shipping only if you want to try it out! It's just sitting in my mud room. It's still good though! PM me if interested!

I had Teddy on the Iams Large Breed Puppy and was quite happy with it - we never had a problem.  However, when we switched to the adult food a couple weeks ago - I did not like it at all!!!  Twice the amount of poop and it was never firm.  Its my opinion that there must be more fillers in the Iams adult formula.

The Eagle Pack Holistic line only come in 30 pound bags. I was going through one every 2 weeks for just Bubba.
