Forthglade or Naturediet
« on: October 21, 2010, 04:26:00 PM »
I'm going to give Quinn one meal a day of wet food, I haven't got the freezer room for the frozen food I was going order so plan B is either Forthglade or Naturediet.    Naturediet is £13.59 for 18 packs and Forthglade is £15.00 for 18 packs so not much difference in price, is there any difference in the quality of the foods before I order one or the other.   

Second question, has anyone fed either of these and it didn't agree with their dogs?   

Thanks in advance.

Meg has Naturediet and she LOVES it. We get her a variety of flavours too, not the chicken though. Her poos are nice and firm :shades: but i cant comment on coat condition as hers isnt great at the moment because of her hypothyroidism. My uncles American cocker Jasper has is too and it has done him a world of good, lovely glossy coat and lots of energy (but not too much ;)).
We buy it from zooplus is packs of 18 with free delivery :D xxx

We feed Naturediet - if you look at their websites - you can see exactly what's in Naturediet whereas Forthglade is 'meat and animal derivatives'.

Thank you so much for that, on Berriwood Wholesale it states only:-

Ingredients
Min 45% Chicken, Min 16% Lamb, Min 10% Tripe, Min 12% Rice, Vegetables, Seaweed Extract, Herbs, Minerals & Vitamins.

Its only when I went to Forthglade just now, I saw meat and animal derivatives.     I knew it would be worthwhile posting on here  :D

I've been reading that a lot while I've been googling Natures Diet, haven't ordered yet as want to make the right choice, I hadn't seen Natures Harvest before and am now swaying towards that brand.    Bang goes my title thread  :005:

I  feed my two, half Barf and half kibble as I want the reassurance that they are getting all the vitamins/minerals they need.
I also don't have room in my freezer for a large quantity of frozen dog food  ph34r
I have found that my local pet shop sells frozen dog food just as cheaply as PAH.
I am able to buy a 400gm pack for 70p and this provides the girls with their evening meal and the cat.  :005:
I can easily snuck a few packs of this frozen food and a few portions of chicken wings in the bottom of my freezer and just buy each week.  ;)

Katie has Naturediet Lamb and loves it - no adverse reactions - in fact she is on that cos she had real probs with Burns and was drinking lots of water (even tho I always damp it down a bit) and had loose poos.

 I did find the recommended amounts quite large, so Katie gets about 3/4 of a tray a day (with a little - about a desert spoonful- taken out and added to Smudge's Burns (helps with passage his of poop which would otherwise be very diffult for him) Katie's N/D has terrier mix added to it..................the things we do for our critters aye  :shades:

Our local pet shop sells a box at £13.10 for eighteen trays.

Meg has 1/3 of a tray 2x a day, with a little bit taken out of each meal and given to Alfie... no reason just for a little variety for him :blink: xxx

I treat Odie to Natures Diet once a week (mean mummy :005:) for his Sunday lunch.  He loves it, have tried all varieties but have to say even though he loves them all, the fish one made his breath a little too fishy for me :lol2:
Both taken away from us far too soon. x  RIP Angels Odie & Archie, causing mayhem at the Rainbow, no doubt!

Rodaidh and Caoimhe are on half barf and half Barking Heads but they get Nature Diet once or twice a week and if we're away anywhere as the tubs are really portable. I buy a mixture of the flavours and they like them all, especially the smelly fish one :P They've had Nature's Harvest too and it seems equally good but it only comes in two flavours. I also occasionally buy the frozen Prize Choice blocks, they don't take up a lot of room in the freezer and are good for a bit of variety (their freeflow tripe is good too).
