I have tried several different types of dog food. I've tried Ol'Roy and all sorts of things, but the one that my dog seems to like the most has always been Iams. I don't know why. Its a good thing and a bad thing because Iams can be expensive. That's o.k. though as long as I have dog food coupons.

I copied this off the back of a bag of adult chicken:
Chicken Meat Meal (min 22%), Fresh Chicken (min 21%), Brown Rice (min 21%), Oats, Mixed Herbs, Barley, Chicken Fat, Sugar Beat, Linseed, Brewer’s Yeast.
I'd really like to hear anyone else's thoughts.

My view on that food - it looks alright but
- fresh meat should be the first ingredient really
- rice is not great for dogs - cereals-free food is better - see JWB now do a cereal free version
- oat is ok - better than wheat but again cereal-free is better
- sugar beat isnt great but difficult to avoid it seems
Otherwise it looks fine.

I prefer food that contains meat and veggies than meat and cereals, its believed to be a better diet for a dog.

I have a problem with the majority of dog foods available in the UK, it's quite alarming the rubbish that goes in them! I feed mine on Orijen, a premium dry food, not readily available in the UK yet but can be bought online.

Some might find this link useful to see if their brand is recommended...or not.

You could try Barney on a good quality wet food like nature diet, most dogs won't turn their nose up at that.

Sammy is still on the dry food that the breeder gave us but looking to gradually introduce a different dry food within the next few days. What puppy food would you recommend?

Also, I have been reading on the internet and it advises to use a food which has less than 22% protein, however the food the breeder gave me has 28%. Sammy still has quite runny poo, do you think this could be why??

I started off Cody the collie pup on Beta then moved him to James Wellbeloved. At this point my older X Zeus who has always been hard to please started to eat JW.

After talking to some other dog owners have found out that Burns and CSJ
are very good to.

Cody has now been on CSJ for about a week. £16 for 15kg bag on line.
Took 2 days to come on standard post. Big pet shops i think rip you off.

He loves it. Have had to hide the bag.
