I use beta as a base and mix with chicken, mince, tripe, seems to work but a mate mentioned this food said its better for working dogs and helps with recovery time, just trying to find out abit about it, used to use red mills but found my dogs get on with beta better.

I use it alongside fresh meat and bone. It has the highest meat content of the affordable bagged foods. "downsouth" has a point about bag foods being shit but Gain "Record Breaker" seems to me to be the least shitty of a bad lot.

To get better you'd have to go for something like "Orijen" at eighty quid a bag or whatever it is now.

Seriously lads. I know it's said time and time again but I can't tell you how much better the dogs look and perform on raw.

 

And when your in the routine it really is a piece of piss to feed.

 

I buy my stuff every 2 weeks and then just get out a days meals the night before and defrost in a sealed container. It really is no hassle at all if you source decent stuff and are sensible with it.

I could be wrong; but I've always thought that feeding working dogs on "complete" food is a lazy way of feeding dogs ! What's wrong with sourcing good raw meat and bones, keeping a few chickens for eggs, getting brown bread from bakers waste, etc, and making up your own feed ? To be honest, I use "complete" as a biscuit, and mix it with the raw and eggs, and veg, bread, etc. It works out cheaper than using only "complete", and I'm sure it's better for the dogs.

 

Cheers.

Gain, Redmills, Formular One, Chudleys, all Ok as mixers alongside Beef, Chicken,Fish,Turkey,Pasta,Rice,Veg but on their own not ideal.

Australian Formular maybe a little better if in harder work .

I used pretty much all of them for my lurchers when i worked in Greyhound kennels years ago and i agree Australian formula was the best,But only the best of a bad lot and i only used any of them as 50% max of the dogs daily feed.It was only when a good mate of mine gave me a bag of expensive bagged dog kibbles and told me to only pay him if i saw a difference in my dogs performance to pay after about a month i realised that you only get what you pay for.

Is Orijen best bag food money can buy?
