I've noticed one of my puppies on a 1777 formula has its condition rising by 0.8 each day while an adult dog on Top Dog Condition Formula is only rising by 0.3. They are different breeds so I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with that, but I thought I'd ask:

Which is a better formula for raising the condition of dogs: Top Dog Condition Formula, Super Duper Adult Formula, or a custom ration with fat at 7?

Also when making a custom ration what level does protein and vitamin E have to be at to maintain coat and muscle condition? I would assume 4, but want to make sure.

Custom with fat on 7 will get you to 20 the fastest. However, on broods, I will keep them on top dog sometimes and that will usually get them to 20 by 30 days (to save money).

And yes, Med (4) will maintain muscle tone and coat.

eta: Breed doesn't make a difference with condition. That will rise steadily on any ration (aside from Old Boy), unless the brood of the dog had poor condition when whelped.

Did you know?
A specialty show is a dog show which reviews a single breed, unlike other dog shows, particularly conformation shows, which are generally referred to as "all-breed" because they are open to all breeds recognized by the sponsoring kennel club.
