Dry Dog food whats the best out there ? ................ - Page 31

Debi · #**301** (**permalink**) 16-03-2009, 07:44 PM

my 2 labs are now having Oscars and even though one is 10 months and the other is 4 years they can both have the same type. Our eldest, Millie, has always been fussy and often wouldn't eat but she now wolfs down all her tea (its half and half at the moment) and it is just under £35 for 15 kilo and you don't need to feed them as much as other dry foods. each dog is individually assessed by the rep so he can easily be told of any changes.

Yes but they were all in the breeder lounge upstairs as I have said

and I know they were there and if you were not happy with the information given then you could ask to speak to someone who does understood the food and the differences in it, I know there were knowledgeable people on the ground floor as well as the vet reps were down there

Sorry you did not get the answers you were looking for

Tashi - Are you employed by Royal Canin, as this seems a very 'corporate' answer.
I sometimes feel this thread is an advert for companies (such as Royal canin and Oscars).
I want 'real' pet owners opinions and think food company people should own up when commenting

I've tried endless different foods over the years. Even Royal Canine. But I found this not too be the best for them as two developed skin and digestive problems whilst on it. About a year ago I found Oscars and, after going through all the ingredients etc with my vet - who thought it was good was pleased to recommend to me and others, I started using the Super Premium (now ultracare) Lamb & Rice and have been using it ever since with brilliant results; and all the skin and digestive problems have now completely disappeared. My gang are a lot happier on it too. The puppy one is bril too. So I truely believe its a good food.

I would be gratefull for any advise

Hi Lisa, If you intend to keep your boy on dry food, with all the problems I have had with two of my gang I would def recommend Oscars Ultracare. All 7 of mine are thriving on this food. After reading the ingredients, even my vets now recommend it! You cannot buy it in the shops, only direct from Oscars straight to your doorstep. In some areas they have reps. I have a fab rep named Martin who delivers direct to me - lovely friendly fellah he is too.
Alternatively, though not a dried food - the Barfs sounds good to me too.

I give both my adult dogs Purina. They love it and have had no issues with it. It £25 for a big 15kg sack.

No I am not employed by Royal Canin and you will see that I have not commented on the food that they produce just that there were knowledgeable people available on the stand - it is a food that I feed my dogs along with Purina and some James Wellbeloved !!!!

and I'm certainly not employed by Oscars its just a food I found for my dogs which both I and the dogs love so are you going to accuse all those other people who mention a brand like JWB or Purina??

Thanks for the back up Shazza I just find it sad that you didnt find anyone who could talk to you about the food, I know at Crufts they do take a lot of the Office staff but they should be able to point you in the direction of someone who does know

my roughs wouldn't touch Oscars in any shape or form. I use a middle of the road dry food Davies and the pups have supadog again a resonably priced feed. IMO you feed whats suits the dog and your pocket.
