Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

I am a convert to CSJ - it is so super. There's something for every pocket- my friend has put her lab on the cheapest - CHamp at £9.45 per 15kg and his digestion is SO much better.

I have my boy on the CP range which is more expensive but SO much cheaper than arden etc etc - I've tried everything and the conditin that CP gives is brilliant.

I can't stress how much you should try CSJ. You won't regret it. Google it and see if you have a stockist near to you (mine is super - so friendly and helpful - and she delivers for free!)

Yes, but many carnivores such as lions first eat the stomach contents which contains all sorts of material before consuming the meat and bones.

Wild canines and felines actually discard the stomach contents by tearing it and shaking it out and normally eat the internal organs first.

Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

We became totally disillusioned with complete dog food and now cook for our adult dogs. We give some raw but on the whole most is cooked. Lots of veg, people graded meat, poultry etc, we add bran. Eggs, yogurt + cheese make up the protein. Dogs are much happier, healthy and never leave a crumb. It might be more work, but well worth the effort. It is an alternative to feeding totally raw.

Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

We've switched dry foods to Whites Chicken & Rice - it seems to tick all the boxes; natural, free of nasties and sells at under £30 for 15kg. It might be my imagination but it actually smells nicer than some of the other premim foods we've tried over the last 12 months. There's more info and you can buy discount at www.pet-pantry.co.uk

Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

I switched my dogs over to Life's Abundance. I am extremely pleased with it. And the dogs really love it. The company will do a food analysis between Life's Abundance and whichever food you choose. Just send them an email and they will send the analysis back to you. Also, I love the fact that it is delievered fresh right to your door. If you choose to do an autoship, which is have it delivered automatically how ever often you choose, then it is cheaper that way. But over all....I've been very impressed. They have dry and canned food, not only for dogs, but also cats. The website is Welcome to Trilogy then click on pets.
They have tons of information!!

I have been looking at ingrediants in all different foods and am so confused now as I dont understand half of what is written there.

So please please can somebody help me in choosing a good food for my pug and I would also love to hear from other pug owners on what they feed their pug(s).

Re: Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................

Has anyone mentioned the campaign for real petfood Campaign for Real Pet Food. Just for my four penneth, I've just started mine two springers on Barking Heads. They had been on Nutro for years but I wouldn't touch it now Mars got their hands on it. They have already messed about with the formula and a lot of pet shops have stopped stocking it. I tried them on Orijen but they aren't particularly fond of fish and ate the adult under protest most of the time. I think they missed the carbohydrate ! So I tried samples of Barking Heads and they wolfed it down like they used to with the Nutro. There is 50% lamb and also a mix of rice and oats which I personally think is better than just rice. They seem to be doing great on it so far and I'm pleased after the Nutro setback they are finally settled on something.

There seems to be a LOT of SPAM on the internet for this stuff, so if this is how they are getting their advetising, then I'd avoid them completely.

I wonder if they are aware that people are spamming for them, as its often the case that the people they pay to "market" their website are "off-shore" and just spam like crazy.

I actually am not spamming,,,as you say,,, The question was asked and I gave my opinion about the food I feed to my dogs, as well as where they can purchase it. There is tons of information on the foods that they have, so it's totally up to whoever, if they want to check it out or not. You can also request to have complete petmart order the food, and then you can just purchase it at the store, if you would like. It is a holistic dog food, and my dogs do very well on it. And the beet pulp is a great digestive ingredient.
