[WHITEYrs4 29]

Just out of curiosity what dry food do you feed your dogs?

What percentages of

Protein

Fibre

oil

copper

ash it contains per 15kg sacks

And even if you know the vitamins such vitamin A, vitamin E etc

And the price you pay for it

I used to feed my dog greyhound nuts from unipet but since moving to Scotland I can't seem to source it. No idea what is in it. But I recommend it was 7 pounds for a large bag.

 

Only problem is they only sell to wholesale

Do you’s not prefer feeding your dogs on meat and bones with tripe instead of dry mix.

Most commercial foods are bollox. I feed Red Mills (its bollox) as a filler when cash is tight as it is usually, supplemented with healthy scraps, and raw food like meat, veg, eggs, etc.

 

Its not about the % protein etc., its about the quality of ingredients. Gelatine is a protein, but its f*ck all use.

 

Steer clear of "derivitives of", "origin", "by-product", etc. You want to see ingredients that you would eat, like Chicken, (chicken meal is also good), carrots, peas, etc...

 

A good affordable food is Burns (Burns Holistic Organic). It costs around the same, (sometimes a little cheaper with the deals on 15 kilo bags) as Royal Canin or Hills or Iams, and the quality is waaaaay better.

 

 

Good luck!

I had to try a few foods before I found the right one, Flay has colitis & the only thing that keeps any weight on him is Hills, prescription I/D, at around £70 per 14Kg bag it's a bit expensive but worth every penny as long as it continues to work for him.
