What dry food?
« on: October 28, 2006, 02:20:30 PM »
Can you guys let me know what you use please?

Need advice as so many brands. And the man in my local pet shop is really no help.

After trying lots of different ones Barney is on Arden Grange.  We get it from their website and since he started on it he has never had an upset tummy  ;)

I feed Alfie on BARF now (raw diet) but prior to that Arden Grange was by far the best dry complete food I found. You can get it from their website or from Waitrose.

We have tryed loads of food but it either doesnt suit there tummy or they dont like it.
We tryed Arden Grange but we had alot of problems with it.
So now we are feeding them on Hills which they all love.And we are happy with this product

Ours have been on one from the breeder, but it was a local vet mix, so we couldn't get that here, breeder provided us with a bag, but when that ran out they went on to Burns, but hated it, so I put them on James Wellbeloved (JWB) this gave Amber very runny poo's, so they are now on Arden Grange, but they also get Raw mince, raw egg and sardines in tomato sauce, usually one of these a day, mixed with a little AG, as well as a variety of raw veg and fruit.  They love this and as they will be going into kennels next year, I thought we had better keep them on just dried food too, so they have this on its own in a morning.

Fern is on 'Hills Science plan' as that what breeder had her on to start so decided to keep her on it till she is off the puppy food, she also gets mince, raw eggs, and variety of veg

Jock is also on a Hills product but this is only due to him having to lose weight  ph34r (this one you can only get from vet >:()
Before tho he was on Chudleys and loved it had no problems, but I will be putting him on Arden Grange or Burns once he can go back to normal food along with raw as well ;)

Barney's on Royal Canin, Sapphi and Max are on Burns. We have used James Wellbeloved in the past too.

Mine are all switching on to BARF in the next few days.

Molo was weaned onto Nutro, but it was a bit too strong for me and him, so I changed him to Burns when he was a few months old :)

He still has Burns occasionally, but mainly has a raw diet now :)

Dillon was on Pro Plan (or is that an insurance co?) at the breeders and did reallly well on it.   But due to their animal testing I did not want to keep him on it.   I changed him to Burns which gave him the runs....  Then tried Nature Diet (wet) which gave him colitis type symptoms, so now he is fed exclusively raw and thriving. 

Sorry, not much help really am I.... :huh:

I've always used JWB for all our dogs & been very happy with it.

Arden grange here!  Ben's runny bum still appears but I think this is down to the extras he finds while on walks - fox poo - dead pigeons - other unidentified poo and decaying sea food like smelly shell fish  ;)

Two of our dogs are on CSJ 18, the third is on Benevo, which is a vegetarian complete diet (he is allergic to meat).
