I feed my Bichon on Wafcol ocean fish and corn because it's the only dry food he likes. He's tried Burns, JWB, Royal Canin, and Arden Grange but he seems to prefer Wafcol to the lot of them.

Hi,
Try Whites Premium. Whites Premium Dog Food. It is the only complete food I will use. Look at the site & request a couple of free samples.

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

Spose I best order some Arden Grange, for Zeus and the puppy?
Or should I just stick to what he's being fed now *purina beta puppy* until he's a few months old?
Also how much should I buy for Zeus and where is it cheapest?

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

Im really glad I found this thread because I was just about to ask the exact same thing.

I feed my 8 week old pup, Super dog complete puppy.

I am really worried now though because Ive got a woman coming around from a pet food suplier and she was saying alsorts about the foods I use. She truely has put the fear of god into me.

She said stuff like to make up the meat balence and protien of the food the manufactures put things in like beaks, claws, feet, etc. She also said most of the food is bulking agent and cerial whice is really bad for dogs and that they all contain high salt, fat and something that causes dogs to have bad stomachs.

Im really worried now that after feeding Harmony stuff for 6 years that I could of done her internal damage or something. As for Marley his only 8 weeks tomorrow so hopefully I wont of done him no harm.

The woman said that even the likes of bakers, pedigree and all that are really bad. OMG I feel awful for what I thought was good stuff could be hurting my dogs.

She also said something about their foods only containing the white of the meat (if it was chicken) and that its rice or something like that. To be honest I cant remember what she said because by that point I was rather upset about what I have given Harmony for all this time.

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

Have you tried looking at Oscars that comes in 15kg bags and according to their website they do all different ranges even their universal range is better than wagg must admit I feel the same would not touch Wagg and certainly not Pedigree or Bakers Eukanuba and Iams test on animals
Royal Canin is made in France!!! say no more BUY BRITISH I SAY
My dogs have always been fed on Oscars and its delivered to your door FREE
and have no problems my 11yr old border collie is still bouncing around like a 2yr old since she has been on Pinnacle + it has added Glucosmine MSM etc etc.

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

I've had a look at Oscars and again the first ingredient is rice and in most of them it seems to be 55%, dogs don't need rice in their diet, carbs turn into sugar which in turn can make dogs hyper. It can be a false economy to feed a cheaper food, feed a food with better ingredients and you will find that you need to give them less of it, that in turn actually works out a cheaper way to feed dogs. I feed Orijen ORIJEN Biologically Appropriate Dog and Cat Foods | Orijen Pet Foods .co.uk and it costs me £2.50 a week to feed my pair ( shelties ) my sister has 2 staffies and it costs her £6 a week to feed her them.

I'm sure I've said it before on this thread but stay away from foods where it says cereal, the company buy in the cheapest one on the market at the time, stay away from one that has derivatives, that's the beaks, claws, fur, and the rest of the crap that humans don't consume. Stay away from E.E.C. permitted additives they could well be B.H.A. and B.H.T. which some experts think may cause cancers.

Hi Becci,

I was the same. I was feeding Angel who is also 6 years old Bakers believing i was feeding her the best, believing the tv advert.

I didn't know until i came on here and like you i was upset, but now i am feeding her Orijen for dry and raw for wet. She gets raw every other day with a bit of Orijen and just Orijen on the other days and i have noticed a difference in her coat and she seems to have more energy.

I am trying not to think about what i feed her in the past and am hoping that no damage has been done.

Mandy
