If your feeding enough meat and only adding a wee bit of dry food I wouldn't worry too much about it. Could even use pasta or rice veg or bread with meat aswell. Most pet shops, horse feed stores and lots if other places sell better dry food. But like I said if it's only getting minimal ammount of dry as I think dogs should, then don't get too hung up on what's best. If that is all you can source then use it. But remember a varied diet is always best and dogs do best on mostly meat imo

I only give him 1 - 11/2 cups of dry food and about 200-300g of mince but money is going be abut tight for a while due to car and boiler braking down, what other cheeper meat could I use? I can get tripe for free, should I use that or not?

Lots of folk swear by tripe and iv got mates who's dogs do well on it but it's not there only food. I never use it just because I can't fetch it as easy as I can lamb beef and chicken. Everybody feeds dogs slightly diffrent pal and the trick is to try and find what works for you and the dog. Price and availability are a big part if your skint. Get begging around butchers and places or try find a local supplier of meat, it's usually cheap as long as you can buy a fair bit and freeze it

Tripe has less protein than Beef, Lamb, or Chicken, ive seen that Wag in Pets at home, its been on offer for months,

im trying CSJ dog foods for the first time as a mixer with raw, looks okay, stools have been firm and £13 a bag.

That Wag may be okay as a mixer, but I wouldn't use it myself.

Its been getting decent reviews they have a few different types, just google CSJ dog foods you can request a trial sample,

They dont spend a lot of money on adverts and use agents, if you put in your postcode the nearest agent with contact number will come up.

do you think if I mixed tripe with a higher protein dry food it would balance out a bit better? If so what dry food?
