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

It's basically a raw food diet Garry. Mine get a varied diet of Tripe, chicken, beef, lambs hearts, lamb and tripe mix, lamb and veg and meat mix. I get it delivered to the house from a firm called Landywoods - it all comes in 1 lb packs and its frozen on arrival. They get a pound of meat a day each, fed in two meals. I mix it with Holistic Wholebake mixer biscuit. They get the veg mix once or twice a week only - the veg is raw too but it has to be mulched or the dogs dont get the full goodness out of it. They get tinned fish once a week. Raw chicken wings are brilliant too as the main constituent of the raw diet is the bones. They also get large marrow bones twice a week - £3.50 for 18 - again delivered to the door.
It costs me @ £8.00 per week to feed two Rotts.

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

Buy a book called Give Your Dog A Bone by Dr Ian Billinghurst - he's like the BARF guru - the book is brilliant - its written in plain English so you can understand what to feed and why you feed it

The frozen Tripe from Landywoods comes in 1 lb packs and its 26p - I know when I only had Nelson I used to buy it from jolleys and it was about 60p - self same thing so its alot cheaper than in the shops.

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

oh I forgot to say - the BEST thing about feeding BARF is the poo. Long gone are the days of the big brown chog log - oh no we dont have them at this house - BARF poo is non smelly, more crumbly - similar to malteser shapes - only a bit bigger - and a lot less of it - cos they take more goodness out of the food there's less waste product - RESULT!!! And especially in your house Garry with 4 dogs - you'll save a small fortune on poo bags alone
