Shop own brands can be just as good as some well known ones, most are made by a company called Golden Acres up in Preston (who make for Burns, Arden Grange and until recently I think, James Wellbeloved, though I believe Royal Canin make this at a new factory now) - GA have a recipe book and you just pick one out and they'll make a batch for a shop. They're based upon standard recipes for chicken and rice etc. and although not often what you'd call premium foods they're probably equivalent to a medium priced branded pet food.
The big example of shop own brand is Pets at Home who have a huge range of own branded pet food these days.

Hi Mine are fed Oscars its cheaper and its free delivery to my doorstep
I know exactly what goes into the food its made in the uk and is human grade food another words you could it yourself and they are the only company who has an honest label to say what goes in their food and its not tested on animals

I have never heard of Oscars, could you put up the analyasis of it Please

I've enjoyed reading this post. I gave up on dry food after i read some of the health issues raised particularly on ethoxyquins and contaminated commercially produced food. It doesn't matter who the company are... any dried food has to contain preservatives to give it a shelf life of a year.

Since i put my two on local butcher mince and mixer i have noticed such a change in so many ways - coat, behaviour, etc. It may cost more but i know that they are less likely to suffer health problems.

On occasion as a Lurcher Zak provides the week's meat!

Shazza, all pet food in EU has to use Human Grade food that's the law. All on-line companies will deliver to your door!!

In relation to Oscars, it's very similar in formulation to several other good quality pet foods, but a bit more expensive than some.
Their 15kg Lamb & Rice is £39.95 which is a few £s less than Burns or James Wellbeloved, but more expensive than, say the Pets at Home Wainwright's food which is another 'natural' food and goes out at £29.35 for 15kg (check out the range on their website www.petsathome.com
And of course you can get this delivered to your door if you don't live near a store

do they do foc delivery??

Yes, if you spend over a certain amount (the website will tell you)
It's probably a case of buying food and a stock of treats or whatever to get the free delivery

Hiya, new to the forum but thought I'd throw in an opinion! Personally, I think Arden Grange is the best pet food out there. Its human grade meat, hypoallergenic and not tested on animals like some other top brands. Phone them directly and ask for a sample - they will be happy to send a few. You can find out more on Natural Premium Dog Food & Cat Food From Arden Grange. Good luck!
