wezza 396 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I had my 3 on field and trail before switching to gain 28 just before I went back offshore to work for two weeks, any way I've came home and they are looking really really well on it. My bull cross seemed to have dry skin with the skinners field and trail and since switching to gain it seems to have cleared up and has a lovely shine to his coat now. I'm feeding raw mixed with the gain and home made raw rabbit and veg mince. Gain was reccomended from a few lads down my way and don't think ill use out else now, £13 odd quid for 15kg is a good price too. Gets the thumbs up from me Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I had my 3 on field and trail before switching to gain 28 just before I went back offshore to work for two weeks, any way I've came home and they are looking really really well on it. My bull cross seemed to have dry skin with the skinners field and trail and since switching to gain it seems to have cleared up and has a lovely shine to his coat now.

Gets the thumbs up from me Fair enough your dogs are looking good on it, but why add more protein with meat, when you are feeding 28% protein. I received info on feeding gain from the rep, for my working whippet, who said to feed Gain 28% on its own. if adding raw meat which i was planning, to feed Gain 20% with a supplement.

wezza 396 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 As arctic says country joe.. A varied balanced diet is the key. I wouldn't dream of just feeding Gain to my dogs by its self, they call in 'complete' and the rep might tell you different but getting the protein from meat is key. if you look at gain the majority of the 28% protein is from grain and non meat products, I use this along with fresh raw meat, bones, oily fish, offal and mixed veg as PART of a balanced diet and this is working for me. I'm not saying this is right or wrong but my dogs look and perform well on it Quote Link to post
