Autarky Food

[Cob-Web]

Any suggestions on where I can get it? I can't order direct as they won't deliver to me here  .......but I may have to switch from BARF (sourcing problems), and this sounds like an alternative

My 2 are on Autarky & they love it.  I do have to stand over Dillon whilst he eats because he's easily distracted (he's the same whatever I feed him) & if Nelly's finished hers, she will then eat his if I don't watch. 

I used to mix a bit of tinned meat or sardines in with it but I've stopped that now & their poos are much more solid than they were when they had meat (sorry if that's too much information  )

My doggies are on this, and i'm happier with it than any other food they've had.

Lucy has a really sensitive stomach, and allergies, and flaky skin, but on autarky it's all perfect.

Jarvis is a bit of a dustbin and would eat anything, but his poops are much firmer on Autarky than they've been on anyything else. (He was fed royal canin when i got him, then changed to JWB)

I agree with Nicola that it does smell very meaty. They both get really excited when the bowl gets filled up too.

I could send it to you, not sure what it would cost though, let me know

We havent got any yet but are seriously considering changing.  The only question that I have is that the one in Costco says for working dogs - where as Blue is a show type cocker - would this be a problem ??

Rachel to send a 15kg bag by Royal Mail would cost £13 ish

Rachel - I expect you've already found this link but don't know if it throws up a supplier near you

Jarvis is a show cocker, and not a hugely active one either, he has about an hour off lead running a day, and he's doing great on autarky. So it's not just for working dogs.

I've tried my girls on Autarky and they loved it too, I get mine from Jollyes petstore, they have all the different varieties.

Thanks - I hadn't found the list 
Sadly, there are no Isle of Wight stockists listed, and they won't mail order to me 

We do have a Jolleys and a few small pet stores, so I might look anyway

Have you friend or relative on mainland you could get delivery to and collect from there?

[Nicola]

Rachel is there a Costco near to you on the mainland which you could go to and stock up? Or failing that Jolleys should be able to order it for you. I know that the Jolleys near my Mum and Stepdad's in NI stocks it, I saw it the last time I was at home.

  I'm almost sure I've seen it in Tesco Rachel, do you have a branch on the island ?
 might be worth a phone call to them if you have   

[Cob-Web]

I'm going to visit Jolleys, Tesco's etc in the next few weeks to see if they have it, just in case I need to swap 

We rarely (once or twice a year) take the car off island, so stocking up when I am there might be a bit impractical

I'm really interested in all these comments on Autarky food as I have dismissed it in the past as it seemed so much cheaper, I put it into the same category as that colourful cheap stuff that I cant remember the name of !  I have seen Autarky in Tesco.    I saw what I thought was Autarky today at a Dog Show but it was called Gusto - is this the same company - it was £5 for a large bag.   I have been on their web site and asked for a free sample. Molly is on Wafcol Salmon and Potato (for Skin probs) but  it is getting a bit expensive 15kg £40 + and can't seem to get it at many places.

I was in Dolittles, a pet shop near me today, and they had a BOGOFF offer on Autarky.... So I got two sacks for £17.99, bloomin good considering what I pay for Royal Canin!

I threw a handful of the food on the patio to see what the dogs thought, well they ran around and hoovered it up, so they seem to like it

edited as I meant to say, I have seen it in my local Tesco, but only the puppy/junior one, not the adult.
