What's everyone using and paying for 15kg bags of feed?

I don't use much biscuits myself but use eukanuba lately when I do n gains not a bad feed but a lot on the places I go tend to feed that dr johns or skinners not sure what they pay tho..

gain 28 when I feed kibble but feed more BARF 

[jakk 6]

Ive fed all sorts. I used to use tripe and beef but it was a nightmare when I was away from home with them. I switched to kibble in 2016 and I've used kronch, beta, chudleys and dr Johns. I would possibly switch to CSJ if I had reason to try another brand. 

I actually find my dogs do really well on dr johns. I put a jug of boiling water and chicken stock over each. Allow it to soak in and cool down.

Kibble seems to give mine bad stomach, I even tried grain free and expensive ones ... currently feed BARF which he is better on ... suppose you have to weigh up convenience and performance. 
 

Proper diet of meat, fish and eggs, with some filler for a good going dog. 
 

 

My mate feeds something called Power for sled dogs and his spaniels are flying.

Saw some dogs on a shoot earlier this week that looked in real good shape owner said he just feeds a cheap food called gusto with the odd bit of tinned meat chucked in.

Skinners, I vary which of their range I use so between £18 to £30 a bag. Then I add bits to this

I've been feeding mine on a mix of flesh, duck, beef, tripe up until recently. My cockers energy just seemed to hit a cliff edge after 3 hours this winter and I've been scratching my head over it, was at the point of getting vets involved. Anyway started feeding 50/50 harringtons complete and flesh and the dog is flying again. Thank f**k! Hopefully that's it fixed.

As far as I know boiling water takes a lot of the nutritiants out of dry food, warm water is what's recommended

There isn't much to begin with , they'll be a lot more in the chicken stock he pours on. I think most cheap stuff gets baked at a ridiculous temp and then sprayed with oil....

Heard the same which surprises me just how many gun dogs perform so well throughout the season on 8-10 quid bags of complete obviously not all but there's loads that do n the dogs do there job well.

I wouldn't feed dry food it runs fcuk out of my dogs, there's a good documentary on it on YouTube called pet fooled well worth a watch
