For people who feed their dogs on dry dog food

[kent scotty 0]

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.

 

 

 

it only works as it full of rice which bungs them up! give them meat and bone will do the same.

In the near future I am trying to set up a small business in dry dog food, I used to feed my dogs on red mills and meats. I now only feed them on my own supply of dried food, I have been supplying it to family members and friends and a few farmers so I was just wondering can anyone match this ingredients in a 15 kg sack at the price of £15.30 this is what I will be charging if I set the business up.

So I was just wondering do you think this is a reasonable price? I have been feeding my dogs on this and (pork chop) another (forum member) and the dogs physique and health has been tremendous! The two vets we have taken them to have commented that they are one of the fittest dogs they have had in their surgery! I dont want to sound big headed or anything but I do think it is down to their diet and what the dog is actually eating. This is the details of the dog food

Now that is a complete rip off, you could feed yourself for less.

Surely feed raw meat and you could cook your own cheapo rice to go with it would be half the price and be better for the dog.

Hi shepp,

better for the dog?

 

He has difficulty in digesting food, if he gets anything other than the stuff he's on(the rice etc contained in it has been partially broken down) it causes inflamation of his lower intestinal tract, causing him no end of bother, he drops weight & has mucus running from his bottom.

 

Having seen him go through a terrible time of it with the other foods I'd had him on(which included James Wellbeloved sensitive~which I used to give my English Bull as it help keep his skin flare ups at bay) I'm too scared to attempt to try him with anything else as he's at a good weight now with minimal tummy problems.

 

Monetary cost isn't really an issue, as if it came to it I'd sooner pay more for his feed than mine own just to know he was gonna be ok.

It is good that you have found a food that has settled your dogs problems. But just out of interest, have you ever tried him on a barf type diet? I understand that you would be very afraid of him flaring up again. My bitch used to suffer from shocking diarrhoea with blood and mucus when fed on various dry foods. I changed to feeding her on a wheatfree diet, which suited her better but since changing to BARF she has never been in such good order. When feeding BARF you have control and knowledge of what is going into your dog - less addatives and colours etc.

For anyone with time on their hands if they want to know what's in dog food...

pet food article

 

Commercial dog food is full of all the bits that are bugger all use for anything else, but dogs seem to thrive on it... Guess it's actually "natural" for them to scavenge and eat a lot of hair, bones, & gristly bits.

 

My sheepdogs thrive on baileys working dog bites topped up with scraps and the odd cooked rabbit.

I would just like to point out that the food I have is full of local products such as welsh lamb etc etc and its even fit for human consumption and its not made up of waste rubbish. It is high quality food.

How much do you pay for the Baileys?
