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

Obviously the more expensive the better however some lower market brands are just as good.

My dog has a 15kg bag of supadog sensitive at 24.00 a bag.
however the normal supadog adult is around 15.00
never had any problems with this food

Eukanuba are also rather good as i recently went to a training evening hosted by them and found some of their facts very interesting.
Especially in the breed specific range.

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

Ive just ordered 2 15kg Natural Premium Dog Food from Arden Grange, works out £49.98 including delivery, so thats only like £25 a bag. Scary though because Harmonys normal food is only £8.50 for a 15kg bag

Hopefully I wont use so many poopascoop bags not though lmao

Thanks for all the help and advice, its much appreciated.

I would also like to mention that I give Marley super dog puppy and it seems ok, however I did see not so great things in the superdog so you might want to check the ingredients because at £25 a 15kg bag, there are better foods out there.

I also plan on changing Marley across to Arden Grange puppy when she finishes her bag of Superdog puppy.

Just looked into Chappie and it has animal and veg derivatives (like claws, beaks, etc)

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

Not sure about Trophy they say they deliver but I was let down twice with them years ago and I know someone who used to have and they found them unreliable
hence why I use Oscars i've used them for a number of years now and never been let down once the guy who delivers to me is great and very helpful

I'm afraid that the Trophy representatives is telling you a lot of inaccurate information. The idea that cheap pet food is filled with claws, beaks etc may have been the case many years ago (and is still the case in many countries) but under EU pet food manufacturing regulations pet food has to consist of food fit for human consumption.

BTW Trophy do not manufacture the food themselves (neither do Oscars and most of the other niche brands) they are all made by 1 of 3 large dry food manufactuerers in the UK. They all use the same ingredients just each one tweeks the formulas to match the market segment that they want to target. Trophy and Oscars are franchises, where anyone gives the company a wad of cash and they get access to the branding etc. This means that the representatives that visit you are a bit like Avon, they make profit from the food but only have a limited knowledge on nutrition and only sell you the one brand.

There are many alternatives for sourcing better quality food in the Internet age, most companies will deliver to your door via courier, some suppliers (NorthWest Pet foods, Mobile Pet foods, Berriewood Wholesale, others) have a home delivery service.

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

If that is the case what in your opinion are are modern day derivatives?

Also Ive also found these websites which might be helpful to people: The Truth About Dog And Cat Food and UK Dog Foods - Understanding labelling practices - meat & animal derivatives, cereals, EC permitted additives

Heres a brief one on animal derivatives: http://www.best-dog-food-review.com/67901/67927.html

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

I had a lovely chat with Vanessa from Arden Grange, as im thinking of changing over, as JWB seems to be giving my boys the squits.

I was really surpised this morning, when i got a free 2kg sack in the post. I only asked for a small smaple to see if they liked it. Now i will be able to test if it agree with them, as they will last a good 10 days to 2 weeks.
