Ive used Wainwrights and found it really good. It was £19.99 when i first got it, now its almost the same as JWB. As JWB is easier to get hold of, my boys are back on that, but recently their poos have been really sloppy. Although im loathe to change them again, i think i might have to. Although, im waiting for my grain free samples to arrive, so ill see how that goes first.

If not, i may try Arden Grange, much to DT's joy im sure. Im moving my cats from Hills to AG too.

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

I think I'll change over to Arden Grange.
How should I do this? Part Bakers, part Arden Grange?

Do it gradually over about 10 days. Each day increase the AG, and decrease the Bakers. If he gets runny, just slow down the process, and dont add so much AG at one time.

Just feed the Wellbeloved then and take her of the Bakers.Wellbeloved is a complete food and there's no need to mix another food into it. The first ingredient in Wagg seems to be wheat, I prefer the first ingredient in the food I feed to be meat, it also has e.e.c. permitted additives which will be b.h.a. and b.h.t., some experts believe that these additives can cause cancer, again if a food has them in it I prefer to steer clear of it.

I would not touch Waggs with a bargepole for 2 reasons:
1. The main protein source is not meat based. If a protein source is not meat based then dogs find it harder to synthasise the protein .

2. The chemicals in the food, in the long term, may, I believe, have a major impact on your dog's health.

Try at all times to stick to a quality, natural diet.
