I've heard poor things about Iams. JWB and Burns seem to be the best dry food.

I feed mine on a natural diet as i don't like the quantity of 'poo' from dry complete. Don't forget to give your dog a marrow bone each week to keep teeth clean and gums healthy - free from most butchers!

Does anyone remember the press coverage a few years ago about Iams & the barbaric way they test the food on animals? Morrisey, from the Smiths, led a huge campaign about it trying to get it off the shelves. Based on that alone, I would never ever touch the stuff.

I must admit it wasn't the food I planned on feeding him, I think I will be spending my day off today researching the best kinds of food for him!

yes theres been a few threads on Iams recently, i wouldnt touch it either!!

One of the problems dog owners have now is that there is so much choice

If you don't want to feed a cheap food which contains bi-products etc then there are plenty of alternatives - whether you spend £40+ for 15kg of Burns or less than £30 for one of the alternative natural foods around then you should find something that suits, and remember that what suits one dog may not be best for yours!

The Pets at Home website is a great place to gather information as it's so well set out - and check out their own Wainwrights brand which really is good (I have used it in the past and found it equally as good as Burns which I used to feed and so much cheaper)

These days I feed Whites Premium which is also natural, excellent and economical, but you might also want to check out the natural dog food company and the many other smaller companies who are entering the natural food market.

But at the end of the day '000s of dogs have done very well on cheap and cheerful Pedigree and 'own brand' supermarket food, so I'm guessing the dog's digestion is fairly tolerant!
