roybo 2,873 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've always said the best food is the one that your dog eats ,enjoys and does well on. Be that dry raw or a mix ..... As long as they do well and enjoy their grub ,be happy . Mine is a fussy fecker I feed a good raw diet ,he looks OK if a little light. If I could find a complete that he would eat and do well on,I'd be ordering it now You tried gain Roy?No mate I've bought bags of various but ended up giving away ....literally spent and a wasted 100s. I get beef from grays hill in Scotland now ,almost like steak ,And eats just enough to keep him alive. He looks well has a nice coat has plenty of energy ,muscled up on his legs and shoulders but his back and hips are terrible . Drop a bit of your food and it hits him on the back of the head lol 1 Quote Link to post

If I'm ever in the situation where I've just got the one dog it will be supermarket stuff all the way for me. Packs of chicken legs and wings, packs of liver and kidney, odd pack of minced beef, eggs and tinned fish. Jobs a goodun. 4 Quote Link to post

forest of dean redneck 11,598 Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 If you have a Icelands near you ,you can get chilled chicken thighs for £3 a pack must be 8 pieces .ask a butcher if they have waste or some do bags of wings cheap, helps if your a regular customer . Otherwise regarding biscuit I find best place is normally local feed place . Quote Link to post

With the amount and variety of raw at your disposal, do you really feel the need to use any dry/complete? Sounds like you and your dogs are onto a good thing 1 Quote Link to post
