cantona 310 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 My lurches have been on the same dry food for years, plain bag no fancy name but they did well on it, they also have barf 3 or 4 times a week, anyway the dry food has changed as all my digs skin coat and general condition has deteriorated , I do give supplements as well, what good dry food would be worth buying, not after the cheapest just something that keeps them well, I will still feed barf as well but not all the time Quote Link to post

tote 854 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Have tried quite a few over the years, am now using Autarkey adult salmon and am more than happy with it, still feed a fair bit of raw as well. And at about £20 a sack I'm not breaking the bank. Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I've tried loads of different kibbles and it's tough finding one that suits all my dogs.. What's always worked well is raw meat, either as stand alone diet or mixed with dry.. I liked skinners,gain, CJS and the cheapest bring formula 1 @ £ 10 a sack. Sometimes supplements can make a difference rather than changing the feed.. Dorwest have a great range of products which are specifically for dogs.. I like coconut oil or ultimate oil during the season.. This time of year the dogs are on basic rations.. http://www.awll.co.uk/wp/nutritional-benefits-of-plant-supplements-for-working-dogs/ Edited May 10, 2016 by Giro Quote Link to post
